Spinning Out

by digby

Bush needs to cut down on the coffee. He’s so wound up this morning he looks like he’s going to spin off the stage. There is something wrong with this man.

I appears that he is taking Rove’s advice over his “younger staffers.” He’s adopted the super aggressive swagger attitude favored by his guru:

President Bush warned Democratic critics of his
Iraq policy on Tuesday to watch what they say or risk giving “comfort to our adversaries” and suffering at the ballot box in November. Democrats said Bush should take his own advice.

[…]

Tuesday’s … sharp message represented an attempt by the president to neutralize Democrats’ ability to use Iraq — where violence is surging in the wake of December parliamentary elections and messy negotiations to form a new coalition government — as an election-year cudgel against Republicans.

Bush acknowledged deep differences over Iraq among casualty-weary Americans, just 39 percent of whom approve of his handling of the war, according to AP-Ipsos. Without specifically mentioning Democrats, the president urged campaigning politicians to “conduct this debate responsibly.”

I’m always touched when Republicans show such concern for Democratic electoral prosepcts. I know they only have our best interests at heart.
