OK, he (Matthew Dowd) didn't say that exactly. Yet another rat sniffing disaster, wanting to dissociate himself from what history will record as a catastrophic presidency.


ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: In the forthcoming issue of Texas Monthly, former Bush strategist Matthew Dowd writes that President Bush's "gut-level bond" with the American people "may be lost" and that "wholesale change" is needed in Iraq.

"Sending in a small contingent of troops is likely going to be seen as not helpful," Dowd writes. "He'd be much better off with the public if he said, 'This is a mess, we made mistakes, and the only way to fix it is a wholesale change.' And that could mean either a serious increase in troop strength or withdrawal."

Dowd opines that Bush's problems stem from his success in the 2002 midterm elections. ". . . when all the levers of power in Washington became Republican, creating consensus seemed to become unnecessary at the White House."

Of course, others have made these same observations before. But Dowd's comments are sure to get lots of attention in Washington because of the very senior role that he played for Bush's presidential campaigns.

1. That old "Gut level bond" "He's a regular guy and people can relate to him"

that has got to be one of the biggest horse shit lines the media has been spinning for years. Maybe it's because i lived in Texas when he was the Governor that shades my opinion but i have never and will never buy into that.

5. Yep it's circled the bowl

and it's on the way down, gravity has ahold of this mess. I only hope that the fucking moran can't do anything really really stupid like get us into a nuclear war with the rest of the world before the flush is done.
