"NO ONE SUFFERS MORE THAN THEIR PRESIDENT." This video, where Laura Bush explains that no one in America suffers as much from the war in Iraq as the president does, has the potential to become a destructively definitional moment for the administration. Yesterday, J. noticed James Pinkerton crowing over Bush's steady 35% support. He's a steadfast leader after all! That 35% may indeed have GOP Kool-Aid coursing through their veins, but these Marie Antoinette-esque admissions of detachment can shake even the hardiest partisan.
