If you are going to take W's side, do your homework. A fair request. Rather than take his side which is going to require some homework, I'm going to head off to the Irish pub and leave him flapping in the wind. Poor Wolfie aint got no friends :-(

The end of the Brooks column today is an eternal truth in Washington: "The fact is, you go into politics with the establishment you have, not the establishment you wish you had. For Republicans, this is an establishment that is initially suspicious, but is filled with human beings who can be worked with. They need to feel respected. They need to be consulted on things they know a lot about. If they feel disrespected, they’ll cut you no slack, and a small misstep could be career-ending. They will make it impossible for you to do your job. This has happened to dozens of Republicans (and unpopular Democrats), and it is happening to Wolfowitz. And the only question is when will these appointees start learning the simple rules of effective democratic leadership?"
