Quote du Jour

Andrew Sullivan in The Daily Dish:

The Bushies are exhausted. I know it sounds like a cop-out for various offenses and screw-ups, but from seeing some of them close-up and hearing accounts from others, I have no doubt it's true. These have been grueling years for any president's administration. But Bush's reluctance to fire anyone, and his discomfort going outside his familiar array of loyalists, is also part of the problem. I think it's obvious the White House needs a major staff culling and influx of new blood. It's also obvious that this president simply couldn't handle the change. Or maybe I'll be proven wrong. In that case, one small suggestion: can we please start with the defense secretary? Some of us would like to win this war.
