Despite the Democratic takeover of Capitol Hill and the steady cavalcade of grim news from Iraq, White House chief of staff Josh Bolten and political guru Karl Rove are busily overseeing Bush's State of the Union address, scheduled for Jan. 23.
Outside Republican sources report that except for isolated pockets of realism, the West Wing bunker hasn't yet absorbed Bush's diminished power.
"The White House is totally constipated," a former aide complained. "There's not enough adult leadership, and the 30-year-olds still think it's 2000 and they're riding high."
One White House assistant insisted to a friend last week that the election was merely a repudiation of Bush's execution, not his policies.
"They don't get it," a GOP mandarin snapped. "The Iraq report was their brass ring to pivot and salvage the last two years, and they didn't grab it."
Even if the chaos in Iraq subsides, prospects for other Bush accomplishments in the twilight of his term are difficult at best.
"Short of doing something on Iraq, there's not much good he can do anymore," a key Bush adviser conceded.

Pampers please it's to messy. Are there enough bathrooms in the White House? Toilet tissues are the highest selling items in Washington. Please ask all to wash their hands alot. Fitz don't use the men's room in the White House and don't shake anyone's hand. Stay 10 feet away from all staffer and 20 feet from others.
Not enough toilet paper to clean up the WH mess in this country...
