Bush The Indomitable

"Everyone" hates him, his allies dismiss him as incompetent, and he's a lame duck, and yet... victory upon victory over the Congress.

After more than a year of heated political wrangling, the Senate handed the White House a major victory Tuesday by voting to broaden the government’s spy powers and to give legal protection to phone companies that cooperated in President Bush’s warrantless eavesdropping program.

This would be the place to post some other Bush-related items.

• He & Laura celebrating Abraham Lincoln's 199th birthday (which is today).
• His address to the National Prayer Breakfast.
• His CPAC valedictory. (It's a corker, which ends with people chanting, "4 more years!" Mostly it reveals the tremendous spirit of the man. No one has ever been more reviled or dumped upon, yet he describes his presidency as "a joyous experience.")
  

Finally --hankies at the ready, Lads?-- outgoing speechwriter Bill McGurn's resignation letter.
