Woodward Debunks Bush Myth He Helped Create:

According to MICHIKO KAKUTANI over at The New York Times, Bob Woodward's latest book on the Bush presidency, State of Denial, paints a new picture of the Commander in Chief and his cabinet:

President Bush emerges as a passive, impatient, sophomoric and intellectually incurious leader, presiding over a grossly dysfunctional war cabinet and given to an almost religious certainty that makes him disinclined to rethink or re-evaluate decisions he has made about the war.

Woodward has staked his reputation on being the ulitmate Washington insider. How deep did he have to go to figure this out?

Some of you will wonder how such a man could ever have been elected to the White House, not once, but twice. The answer, my friends, is quite simple. GW is a man of the people. This little Wasp from the north-east, born with a silver spoon in his mouth and blood lines that go to the English crown, is just as regular, folks, as salt on a cracker.
