The President of Sleep

I wrote the other day about waiting out winter. Today I caught part of the president’s speech on the war & I got the distinct impression that he has, in some part of himself, realized he is out of his depth, that his few, simple ideas about the world have proved inadequate, & that he is just waiting out his term so that he can hand this bloody fucking mess off to someone else & go back to sleep. On the other hand, I’m not sure the man has the moral or intellectual wherewithal to have recognized even that much. I’m probably just projecting a moral sensitivity Bush has never ginven the least hint of possessing.
