John of Powerline ten days ago called McCain “pathetic” on energy and the economy, and he quoted a McCain interview on the Today show that richly backed up that evaluation. Yes, McCain is pathetic. Of course, that won’t stop John from voting for him. Here’s John’s only hope: he urges McCain to take two weeks off from campaigning to inform himself of the views of responsible scientists about manmade global warming, and then come out with a pro-oil development policy. “Do that,” he says, “and Obama will be lucky to carry the District of Columbia.” In another entry, John was appalled that Bush was apologetic about his presidency in an interview with the Times of London. Bush’s comments to the Times were indeed remarkable, because a hallmark of his “leadership” has been that he never admits that he made a mistake, since (as he himself has explained) that would make him look weak. He has maintained this position no matter how important such an admission of error would be to his maintaining any credibility. For example, he didn’t even give the American people an accounting of why no WMDs were found in Iraq, let alone why he appointed Condoleezza Rice national security advisor, let alone why he promoted her to secretary of state. But now he goes abroad, and tells a foreign newspaper that he’s been wrong on A, B, C, D, and F. Talk about would-be Napoleon of the world being deflated. Talk about pathetic. And get this: Bush now supports the global warming orthodoxy and says we must “transfer out of the hydrocarbon economy.” John’s of Powerline’s gonna be sick. When it comes to the people such as the Powerline writers who have followed Bush, supported Bush, gone to the mat over and over for Bush for the last eight years, it’s as though Bush wants to leave them with NOTHING. That emerging perception is acknowledged by Paul of Powerline, who notes, “We’ve probably said this before, but President Bush seems determined to drive his approval rating down to roughly zero percent.” And those are George W. Busheron’s cheerleaders and courtiers talking—the guys who for the last seven years, every time Busheroni gave a speech that was identical to ten other terrible speeches he had given, would rush into print telling us that it was a “great” speech.
