Dennis Dale recounts a chat he had with one of last of the true Bush supporters.  Here’s an excerpt:

“Slow down there, friend. I hate to say I told you so, but–”
“How about that lower than expected deficit!”

“Afghanistan is even a mess now. Couldn’t you just see that one coming?”
“The Dow hit 12,000!”

“Got any stock?”
“That’s personal.”

“Looks like the Senate’s in play, hmm?
“Tax cuts are working!”

“Can you imagine what the hearings are going to be like?”
“Cut and run! Cut and run!”

“Iraq is a disaster. What the hell are we going to do?”
“Stand up! Stand down!”

What?  You don’t think that was a real conversation?  It sounds only too real-to-life to me.
