Recently, we heard that Rove’s influence was fading [see short…]. Today, we hear the same thing about Cheney [Cheney’s Power No Longer Goes Unquestioned]. After Rumsfeld’s disasterous speech last week, Rummy’s surely not in charge either [and then there’s this]. Who does that leave us with to run the show? Surely not George Bush. Frankly, I don’t believe any of this really. They just muddle along, doing the same things day after day. Journalists write about them. We rave about them. Right Wing bloggers defend them. But the net result is that, as a group, they’re doing very little governing. They’re mostly up to their ears politicking – rationalizing some stupid thing they’ve already done or scheming about doing some more of it. In their six years, they’ve brought nothing brilliant to the table – no solution to some problem we really have. They’ve mainly focused on their hawkish, quasi-religious, and conservative agendas – giving us little that actually responds to the country’s needs.
So Rove and Cheney are less influential. Sounds good. I guess a runaway ship wandering aimlessly through the ocean is better that an armed Destroyer steaming to do more damage.
It may be better, but it isn’t good. Maybe, the term is less bad.
