The Shrub clears brush on the Bush ranchete

This article amazed me but not enough to comment on it. Well it did inspire Digby and his post, Clearing The Ranchette, is a must read but in this paragraph he sums up Bush perfectly.

I see a man who is barely holding back his panic; a man who clings to his pathetic "war president" image like a talisman. He looks confused and hurt by the criticism he's receiving from people who he thought bought into the program and reportedly knows on some level that he's been duped by his advisors. He has no choice but to keep barreling along pretending that he knows what he's doing. He barks at underlings and pretends to be in charge even as he gets more and more confused. He's distanced from his father, the one person everyone thought could help guide this callow airhead if the shit came down. He trusts no one now.

And this is exactly what makes him so dangerous. He is a terrified little man surrounded by people like Cheney and Rove who know how to use his fear. A cornered rat with guidance.
