Mickey Edwards Tees Off On Bush

From The New Yorker ~ "Disillusionment with the Administration has become widespread among the conservatives who once were Bush’s strongest supporters. Mickey Edwards, a former Republican congressman from Oklahoma, said recently, 'The Republican Administration has shown itself to be completely incompetent to the point that, of Republicans in Iowa, fifty-two per cent thought we should be out of Iraq in six months.' Edwards, who left Congress in 1993 and now teaches at Princeton, is helping to lead an effort among some conservatives to curtail the President’s power in such areas as warrantless wiretapping. 'This Administration is beyond the pale in terms of arrogance and incompetence,' he said. 'This guy thinks he’s a monarch, and that’s scary as hell.'"
