Tracing Bush Derangement

I pointed out to Deb the other day something I’d long been thinking, and she said I should be sure to post it because she’d never seen it anywhere else and it made an intriguing amount of sense.

Bush has lost his mojo.  He’s befuddled.  He’s allowed fringe elements to dominate, resulting in downright crazy behavior and putting off the more moderate, centrist, and libertarian elements that represented the bulk of his and the Republican party’s support.

What changed?

Condi.

He sent his closest advisor off to be secretary of state, changing her sphere of influence and role in the administration.  She was not only national security advisor, but also by his side, helping to keep him from crazy moves more generally.

The nonsense started when she changed jobs.

Of course, by the same token you could credit the departure of Powell, and perhaps that was a stabilizing factor too, but Condi was the one close to Bush.

Just a thought.

1. i think you’re right. 

   So who’s taken her place, then?

2. Hmmm, now that’s an interesting theory—and one I’ve read nowhere else!
