Politics: David Remnick on Bush

Tearing Georgie Boy a new one.

Remnick is a writer of grace and talent and wrote one of the two best books on Muhammed Ali, King of the World.

And yet, to a frightening degree, Bush’s faults of leadership and character were brought into high relief by the crisis. Suntanned and relaxed after a vacation so long that it would have shamed a French playboy, Bush reacted with fogged delinquency, as if he had been so lulled by his summer sojourn that he was not quite ready to acknowledge reality, let alone attempt to master it.


Lovely.
And accurate.
