In an editorial in the LA Times, Arianna Huffington nails the 1600 Crew as perhaps the most delusional power-grabbers since...well, I don't know maybe since Marie Antionette was a Royal Ruling Babe (my kid just discovered Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure). She makes the point of saying that a Bush without Blinders, well that's no Bush at all! GHWB wore them with respect to the economy when he was Prez, Jebby has them handy when infants die in Florida and President McHappycrack has them on all the time!

That pretty much sums up the White House MO on everything, from the status of Al Qaeda to the magical job-producing virtues of the latest tax cuts.

Who else but a fanatic would have made the outrageous claim, as the president did Friday, just four days after the deadly reemergence of Al Qaeda in Riyadh, that "the United States people are more secure, the world is going to be more peaceful"?

More peaceful than what? The West Bank?
...
The fact is there are now 2.1 million more unemployed Americans than when Bush took office, the vast majority of them having lost their jobs after the president's initial $1.3-trillion tax cut was passed in 2001.

A popular definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Well, that seems to be the White House theory on the power of tax cuts to produce new jobs: It didn't work before; let's try it again

Oh, Arianna keep it up...you might be getting up there on the Molly scale. To read the whole, most excellent piece login with gorevidal/gorevidal and enjoy.
