Stay no longer and get away fast is the message from Republicans for the fading President George W. Bush. [Bush is pictured at right.] But God still loves him.From Der Spiegel, Gabor Steingart reports:
It's twilight at the White House. First it was voters and now it's the president's friends who are abandoning him. Thank God, says conservative luminary Newt Gingrich. According to Gingrich, Republicans can only hope to hold onto power by breaking their ties with Bush. The end of an era has many faces. One is that of a narrow-lipped president appearing on primetime TV, asking Americans for money and their confidence. Another is that of Utah native Nathan Barnes, 23, who didn't survive his deployment to Iraq and whose photo appeared in the obituaries section of his local paper.
My personal message to the ass-in-chief is: Take a long walk on a Baghdad street.
This is pretty much the message delivered by the UN listening to Bush's speech today, though you won't read it in the American papers. See L.C. Johnson at Daily Kos.
