The Times, They Are A-Changing

Preparing to hit the mattresses:
An adviser to President George W. Bush wants the White House Counsel’s office to “beef up” in case a possibly Democratic controlled House pursues a “tangle of investigations,” according to a Time Magazine web exclusive.
Near the end of an article about how “the crisis in Lebanon has dragged the Administration into the role of potential peacemaker,” Time’s Mike Allen reports that the Administration’s “outlook” for the midterm elections reads “ominous” for the Republican Party and for President Bush.
“As for Bush himself, he is curtailing his traditional August working vacation at the ranch so that he can barnstorm before the midterm elections,” writes Allen for Time.
“Their outlook thus far seems so ominous for the G.O.P. that one presidential adviser wants Bush to beef up his counsel’s office for the tangle of investigations that a Democrat-controlled House might pursue,” Allen continues.
Maybe they could move some of those IRS lawyers over to the Weiss Haus. “Tangle” of investigations? Naw… How about a HURRICANE of investigations? heh-heh.
My God, finally something important enough for Bush to “curtail” his vacation? Wow, it must be bad.
