Interesting interview with Bruce Bartlett, the author at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5227215 . He got fired from his think tank job for writing the book.

Interesting article Ceejay.

This particular section was interesting by the Reagan appointee.

"George W. Bush, by contrast, often looks first to government to solve societal problems without even considering other options. Said Bush in 2003, "We have a responsibility that when somebody hurts, government has got to move." A more succinct description of liberalism would be hard to find."

Is the writer saying tha GW is a lib? Don't let Lefty read this.

I wouldn't call him a liberal, but is certainly isn't in the Reagan tradition...

He certainly is no conservative.

I prefer to think of him as mentally ill - it explains so many things.
Very possible, too, given his history of booze and pills.
