la vita equilibrata

lets flash back 3 long weeks:

Bush made no comments on Saturday about Sheehan, but the week before, in remarks to the biking reporters that were widely circulated, he noted that while "it's important for me to be thoughtful and sensitive to those who have got something to say," it was also important "for me to go on with my life, to keep a balanced life."

the premise at the time was that the Idiot Son would be better able to make the right decisions when he was well rested, and dr.phil-style 'balanced'

after much holidaying and bike-riding and fishing and napping and bbq'ing, blinky's decision making seems as appalling as ever - and thats off a really low base. He could never help others, but now he cant even help himself.
