latimes.com — It is well known that George W. Bush has been out of his depth for his entire presidency. That's why Dick Cheney has been the first vice president in the history of the republic to be surrogate president, and why Donald Rumsfeld got an open field to conduct Iraq policy for so long. McCain would follow closely in his slippery footsteps.

Yes, McCain would follow exactly in his footsteps, but Sarah Palin wouldn't be in charge, so we wouldn't even KNOW who was running the country. After all, according to Bob Woodward, his fourth book on President Bush, called ?The War Within,? Woodward reveals a president who was hardly at the helm of his own Iraq war policy. The Washington Post offered a preview of the book:According to Woodward, the president maintained an odd detachment from the reviews of war policy during this period, turning much of the process over to [National Security Adviser Stephen] Hadley. ?Let?s cut to the chase,? Bush told Woodward, ?Hadley drove a lot of this.? [?]In response to a question about how the White House settled on a troop surge of five brigades after the military leadership in Washington had reluctantly said it could provide two, Bush said: ?Okay, I don?t know this. I?m not in these meetings, you?ll be happy to hear, because I got other things to do.?Yep, he's got other things to do and we all know from McCain that you can't walk and chew gum at the same time.
