Holy Crap

On a number of occasions in the past 3 1/2 years, I’ve found myself shocked and startled at the depths to which this administration will sink. Each time, I vow I won’t be surprised again.

Well, read this story about the Bush Admininstration blocking the extension of some of the middle class tax cuts. (NYT here, for those who prefer the Post, and you probably should, here)

Confused? Puzzled? I have little to add to the following commentary:

Ted Barlow.

Paperwight.

Michael Froomkin.

These people have no interest in governing. None whatsoever. Hiring George Bush to govern your country is like hiring a housesitter who throws bricks at your neighbor and won’t feed your cat unless it throws bricks too.

Update: Add Kevin Drum to the list.
