Everyone likes a circus but this one has gone on too long.
During WWII it was loose lips sink ships; in this war its the loose cannon in the oval office that continues to sink our reputation and our foreign policy.
Hughes to the rescue?
Bush is assigning Karen Hughes the position of undersecretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs. George's neo-cons have presented Bush with so much bad advice that he now needs someone to clean up the mess. This will again place her at odds with kingmaker Rove.
The Opening act and the main event in this circus was interesting.
Bush sends Condi as his opening act to get the crowd in the right mood. He comes over as the main act fawning over every European leader he can find. Finishes his road trip with a tense meeting in Russia with Putin. It was not a bad performance. As we all know it is not his words that matter it is his actions. Like the old joke goes One can tell when a politician is lying ...if he moves his lips he is lying. That is especially true with Bush.
Bring in the clown.
Rumsfield himself made a road trip where he disparaged himself in one public appearance as characterizing a poor remark as coming from "old Rumsfield"
"Back at the ranch"
His assignment of Bolton as UN representative shows what he really thinks of international cooperation. His timing was also impeccable in Lebanon. He claims credit for the first Syrian protest against the pro-Syrian Lebanese government which unifies the pro-Syrian faction that march in the hundreds of thousands in Lebanon and Omar Karami was reinstated as the prime minister by their President and parliament.
Turn off the lights, this show is over.
Karen Hughes is now assigned to handle more fallout. She must be the janitor that shows up on stage after the animal act to clean up the shit. The problem is that the audience has already left.
