Would That It Were So

Our President ended a private meeting of the G8 leaders with the words: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter." Ha, ha, ha. The story here.

Can we make it through the next 191 days? I'm not sure. Not because of President George W. Rickles, but because of the Italy/Berluconi insult and what it says about what's happening in the White House.

Here's what I think is happening. The rats have left the ship -- if not physically, at least mentally. The interns are doing all the work, they're 21 years old, and they're unsupervised. This was the G8 summit, folks.
