There should be some regrets that George Bush didn't live up to the Neocons expectations
In the political backrooms you know there is a hell of a lot of consternation going on among the Neocons. Not only did Bush turn out to be a Communist appeaser, (the EU might boycott the Olympics, what's that say about American Right Wing politics?) including watching Putin outlast Bush and Cheney, (who might as well get their tickets for Paraguay, their legacy for the American political scene is a litany of what not to do) but his economic leadership is Socialist as well. OH SURE, he can make a speech about restraint, and secretly chide Democrats? (hardly) about not overreacting to the financial crisis, while the Fed chief and the Presidents Working Group are pulling out policy angles not used since the Great Depression. It might be that the last official act of the Bush dirty tricksters over at FBI was to nail Spitzer, while the entire economy slid down the toilet, in AN ELECTION YEAR.
This set of cartoons could only have been written by their press secretary, because it misses everything that matters. Or more rightly it denies everything that matters to them and why not put Forbes face, and Kudlows face, and Laffers face, to make the point. This is just timid.
