A Crisis of Confidence


Fineman is much kinder than any of us, but maybe he has to be.

Fineman on Bush's Speech: A Crisis of Confidence - Newsweek Howard Fineman - MSNBC.com:

Jan. 10, 2007 - George W. Bush spoke with all the confidence of a perp in a police lineup. I first interviewed the guy in 1987 and began covering his political rise in 1993, and I have never seen him, in public or private, look less convincing, less sure of himself, less cocky. With his knitted brow and stricken features, he looked, well, scared. Not surprising since what he was doing in the White House library was announcing the escalation of an unpopular war.
