Bush Has No Clothes

With this latest empty attempt to portray the Bushies as an administration that still matters, Press Secretary Tony Snow again reveals that the WH staff is inhaling vapors:

The White House said Thursday that a Democratic senator’s meeting with President Bashar al-Assad of Syria was inappropriate and undermined democracy in the region, while three more senators, including a Republican, made plans to visit Damascus in defiance of President Bush.....

With the Democrats about to take control of Congress after an election that was widely viewed as a referendum on the war, the visits reflect an increasing willingness to challenge the White House over foreign policy. The sharpness of the White House response suggests an appetite to use the issue as a basis for a political fight.

“We think it’s inappropriate,” Tony Snow, the White House press secretary, said on Thursday, adding, “The concern here, among other things, is that this does not strengthen the hand of democracy in the region.” Mr. Snow said the visits “may cost some people their credibility.”

Well we know know the credibility Tony is talking about is not Chimpie's as these visits would not be made if Bush had even the slightest shred of truthiness left. When the representatives of a nation cannot believe their President – that is a sad day indeed.

It never ceases to amaze me how the Bush administration can make statements like this - constantly failing to see the truth in the mirrors facing them.
