Harry S. Truman observed that “if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.” So it may not be a coincidence that President Bush has two Scottish Terriers to keep him company.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the Bush agenda (and here) has gone with the wind. His erstwhile friends are nipping at his heels (and here) over the underwhelming Harriet Miers, whose hangdog appearance certainly isn't helping her case, and Iraq.
Now that the Republican attack machine has turned on Bush, the Master of Disaster (and here) may be longing for the dog days of August when he only had Cindy Sheehan dogging him out.
