The Clown: ‘People Listen To Petraeus, Not To Me’

The Clown series continues. Same circus, same clown, different day. Part 3.

From Thinkprogress:

On Wednesday, Bush hosted a group of columnists at the White House for a 90-minute interview session. Roll Call editor Mort Kondracke, who attended the meeting, said that Bush now “may be a lame duck” and appears to know that “his credibility is low.” At the meeting, Bush acknowledged:

People listen to Petraeus, not to me.

But Petraeus’ close ties to Bush have damaged his own credibility. A recent CBS poll found that, after Petraeus’ testimony, the percentage of Americans who believe escalation is working fell from 35 to 31.

Weed + Jack Daniels = Bush's comments. Enough said.
