Mommy the Kool-Aide tastes funny

In an attempt to breath some life into his moribund presidency George W. Bush took a gamble on Thursday. Michael Tackett of the Chicago Tribune said it best.

President Bush on Thursday used a format he does not like to discuss issues he cannot resolve in hopes that he can sell the American people on policies most say they don't want.

Most seem to think he failed. It appears that more and more people are giving up Karl Rove's brand of Kool-Aide.

There have been events throughout history that changed the course of history even though many of them at the time seemed insignificant. I suggested a few weeks ago that the death of Terri Schiavo's earthly shell may have been one of those events. It was a wake up call to the American people. It was an event that demonstrated what they had actually voted for. It was a time they stopped drinking the Kool-Aide.
