3. "Despised" is an apt feeling
for bush and shows how wrong scarborough is when he says "dislike of bush is overrated" and lookout because jebby's next.

I re-registered so I could read that Rich Article.

"Bush’s impact on the next Republican presidential candidate did not have to be so devastating. McCain isn’t, as he and his defenders keep protesting, a passive martyr to a catastrophic administration. He could have made separating himself from Bush the brave, central and even conservative focus of his campaign. Far from doing that, he embraced the Bush ethos — if not the incredible shrinking man himself — more tightly than ever. The candidate who believes in “country first” decided to put himself first and sell out his principles. That ignoble decision is what accounts for both the McCain campaign’s failures and its sleaze. It’s a decision McCain made on his own and for which he has yet to assume responsibility."

4. Frank Rich is the smartest observer of this nation's body politic
since H.L. Mencken and wields just as sharp a scalpel.
