Krauthammer makes the best points for me. Gonzales seems incapable of performing the simplest of tasks. However, Novak hit the home run with this:
...The answer that is not entertained by the president's most severe GOP critics, even when not speaking for quotation, is that this is just the governing style of George W. Bush and will not change while he is in the Oval Office.I found Novak an annoying character 20 some years ago when I watched Washington Week in Review regularly. I would say that "style" is a tepid term, but I sit here thinking that George W. has hit rock bottom when Robert Novak expresses his displeasure with a Republican. Bush's governing style mixes arrogance, pugnaciousness, and laziness with ineptitude.
