Opening The Files: 12/12/06
Listener-in-Chief
Yet again I've been scooped on some of the best material by my esteemed colleague. No matter. Still plenty of commentary to choose from on President Bush's attempt to appear receptive to "new ideas" on his New Way Forward Sideshow Extravaganza.
Dan Froomkin has the roundup of MSM reportage on Bush's new title. Media Matters, meanwhile, reports what the media doesn't.
With all the listening that's apparently going on at the White House, let's hope this isn't some of the advice being taken seriously.
Pamela Leavey reports that WaPo commissioned some artists to spice up the cover of the ISG report. Maybe that will get President Bush to do more then just skim through it and pick out the parts he likes.
DBK relates Bush's strategery meetings to that of a swamp draining. Whatever you wanna call, we are neck deep in it and still sinking.
Hilzoy scolds the UnDecider for diddling while Iraq burns. As much as this week "reeked" for President Bush, it has been far worse for far too many others with no end in sight.
Steve Soto says Bush is trying to appear to be an adult without, y'know, actually being an adult.
And finally, Carpetbagger says that despite all the talk of listenerin' and advisorin' , the Bush Bubble remains very much intact.
