The President's New Clothes

By now it should be clear to even the most ardent supporters of President Bush that his is a hollow presidency, all show and no go.
He has been propped up by expert spin doctors who call things by impressive sounding names like the "Patriot Act" which is nothing of the kind, but is in fact the largest intrusion on the rule of law and civil liberties since the infamous "Alien and Sedition Acts" of the WWI era.
His vaunted "leadership" was a product of the spinmeisters and now in the wake of hurricane Katrina we may find the wreckage of the Bush presidency.
