Bush, Our Spiritual Leader Who Rallied Us After 9/11

Let me join Atrios in choking over this phrase in the WaPo today.

Making the decision to go to war, I imagine, is pretty easy for somebody like Bush, who never fought one, who found his cushy fly-boy assignment too tough to show up for in the late 60s/early 70s. It's trying to achieve your objectives without resorting to cluster bombs, MOABs, and uranium-depleted weaponry that would be difficult.

As for Bush as "spiritual leader", I'm reminded of a Frank Zappa song, originally about Pat Robertson: "Jesus thinks you're a jerk!"
