The Bail-Out Baker Commission
One of the buzzes in the blogs this weekend was about what the Iraq Study Group headed by Bush "fixer" James Baker will do to help pull dim son's keister outta Iraq. From what's being reported, the options are too few and none of them good.
A great many bloggers are having a field day with the latest cover story from Newsweek about how Bush 41's peeps are having to rescue Dubya's presidency. It shouldn't come as a surprise since it's not the first time Poppy Bush has had to come to the rescue. But what's going on in Iraq is not some failed business venture (oil contracts not withstanding). Real lives have been and continue to be affected by the mistakes of this CEO President. Sorry Pops, but no amount of late term "fixing" will change the fact that the mistake of Iraq will forever be the legacy of George W. Bush.
Ed Naha channeled his inner Dr. Seuss. Billmon, meanwhile, has a great bit of photoshoppery goodness.
Taking a more serious tone, Swopa and AJ remind us why it doesn't really matter what the Baker Commission comes up with.
Update: Stephen Colbert has a few Wørds for Poppa Bush.
