Yesterday Joe Conason pointed us to this “uneasy lies the head that wears the crown” story in USA Today. It seems President Bush has give up eating sweets for the duration of hostilities. In other news, the story reports:
Bush believes he was called by God to lead the nation at this time, says Commerce Secretary Don Evans, a close friend who talks with Bush every day. |
I guess we’ve sort of known this for a while now, but it’s stunning to read it relayed in this offhand manner — as if it were on the order of “Bush thinks he has the right team to rescue the economy” or “Bush expects to find allies among congressional moderates.”
But then, since Bush’s election majority was, ahem, thin, a belief in the Divine Right of Presidents may help him get through those long, dark, sugar-free Oval Office afternoons.
