MESSAGE TO THE WHITE HOUSE
Guess it’s too late…
***
130pm EDT. Dick Cheney just finished an interview with Rush Limbaugh. Cheney pleads for Rush to “trust” him. First caller after the segment is a Republican woman who is “so disappointed” with Bush and the GOP…they don’t seem to care about their base…we fought hard to get a Republican majority…I am so dismayed…”
Hearing the same from scores of rank-and-file Republican e-mailers today.
Rush made a half-hearted attempt to frame the cronyism concern as liberal MSM-generated. But the concern is as strong, if not stronger on the right than on the left.
Next caller: “George Bush has caved on just about everything.” He lists education spending, campaign finance, budget, tariffs. Bush “advocates conservatism to placate the base and then he acts like a moderate because he is a moderate.”
Rush says the caller is “over the top,” but agrees that “fiscal conservatism has been tossed out the window.”
Ditto that.

As if you needed more unpleasant news: Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer are happy.
Joe Gandelman has a comprehensive round-up of reax.
