Talking Points Memo: by Joshua Micah Marshall June 3, 2007 10:19 AM: "Even if we put aside the merit of these various proposals and nominations, in most presidencies, this would generally be characterized as a normal week. The White House talked up a few policy initiatives, engaged in a little foreign affairs, and offered a World Bank nominee. Seeing this, DC is suddenly caught 'off guard.' The president now appears 'remarkably spry.' Why? Because the Bush gang managed to go a few days without a colossal screw-up or major new scandal.
'I think we've had a very great week this week in announcing initiatives that the president has been building on over his time here at the White House,' spokesperson Dana Perino said Friday.
Talk about your soft bigotry of low expectations, Bush and his team now congratulate themselves for Basic Governing 101. It's kind of sad, really..."
Ever been on a job where there is an employee who is constantly late? Then, the worker shows up on time two days in a row and demands praise, if not medals, for doing what everyone else has been doing forever. That's our boy Bush.
