Train Almost off Tracks

Although the Whitehouse cynically timed Saddam's guilty verdict to occur two days before the coming election, Iraq has just dealyed it until after the election.
ha ha.

Last week Cheney was pro-water-boarding, this week, no. Meanwhile Bush reiterates that we don't torture. So what are the signing statements for assh*le? Has this Whitehouse ever been this conflicted packaging a message? Some new variant of Herr Goebbels technique?:
"...the primary rule: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it."

Bush's lack of strong communication skills is already proving to be the undoing of his administration's effectiveness to govern.

Now, watch for the congressional election results on Wednesday (likely Thursday) morning. The Republicans - and even some Democrat incumbents - are about to get a whiplash inducing bitch-slap from the American electorate...

Can anyone name a single thing that's actually gotten better for the average US citizen since GW oozed into office?

I think we've already covered this: He's doubled the child tax credit. Let's try to keep up, Carl. ;-)

For a contrast to Dubya's (lack of) communication skills, I would refer everyone to the excellent New Yorker interview with Barack Obama.
