Bush was interviewed by Elizabeth Vargas on Friday. This is how the interview started. She asked him a fairly softball question; what he thought when he saw the devestation of Katrina. This is how he answered, "I saw a lot of reporters taking pictures of people suffering and not helping."
The entire interview was very soft, and yet he was angry, bitter, sounded confused, and was very hostile to Vargas.
At the time of the interview, news had just come out that one of his former high level employees had been charged with theft, from Target of all places. This was after the guy had assured counsel Harriet Meiers that it was a mistake involving his credit card company.
Bush insulated himself with a staff of people that only assure him he is doing great, always right etc. Even in public, he only addresses pre-sorted crowds that will be friendly to him. Now we are learning that several of those who coddle and insulate him, have been full of crap, if not outright dishonest.
This is why I wish we had a vote of no confidence. The Bush administration needs to be weeded, desperately.
