“There is distrust in Washington. I am surprised, frankly, at the amount of distrust that exists in this town,” Bush said. “And I’m sorry it’s the case, and I’ll work hard to try to elevate it.”
Sounds about right.

Comptroller General
Two long years to go | Salon.com
On the same day that Bush — a president who has never vetoed a congressional spending bill — preached “fiscal discipline,” David Walker, the comptroller general, appeared before Congress to describe the nation’s financial future. “Simply put,” Walker said bluntly, “our nation is on an imprudent and unsustainable fiscal path.”
We have a comptroller general?
Kerry Bows Out
John Kerry bows out of the 2008 presidential race – and the world collectively shrugs, because he had no chance in hell of winning the nomination anyway. He would have been delusional if he’d decided to run again – but then again, don’t you have to be a little bit delusional to run for president?
Anyway – I’m glad he swallowed his ambition. He could do more good as a U.S. senator than as a presidential candidate again.
