Bush groupie heaven

One of the Powerline guys, “John,” was part of a small group that spent 40 minutes with the president, and it was, he tells us, “an absolutely riveting experience … the best I’ve ever seen him … may have been the best I’ve ever seen any politician … a great communicator … by turns instructive, persuasive, and funny … above all, he was impassioned. I have never seen a politician speak so evidently from the heart, about big issues—freedom, most of all … the most inspiring forty minutes I’ve experienced in politics.”

Great. Now John is spiritually replenished and revived for the great task of telling the world that the Bush Doctrine Is Succeeding.

Or, as I wrote after Bush’s January 2005 inaugural address:

Putting together’s [David] Gelernter’s announcement of a new religion called Americanism, which makes the attainment and realization of freedom its highest object, with Bush’s divinely appointed role as its agent, the essential shape of this new religion has now come into view. Its credo is published here for the first time. From this moment forth, every person on earth must swear to this truth, or be seen as an enemy of freedom:

THERE IS NO GOD BUT FREEDOM,
AND BUSH IS ITS PROPHET

Carl Simpson writes:

So Mr. Hinderaker goes to DC and gets his fix of Dear Leader’s magic. What can I say? We don’t refer to Dear Leader as the Mahdi from West Texas without reason, after all.
