The Boulder right takes on Dubya

Journalism of note: Wayne Laugesen's Boulder Weely cover story "The Bush Debacle." Yes, Laugesen is a Ronald Reagan acolyte. And his implication that Reagan was a dedicated student of "great conservative thinkers such as Confucius, Blaise Pascal, Edmond Burke, Joseph De Maistre, Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig Von Mises" lies somewhere between debatable and hilarious. But you must cheer the following lines, especially since they came out of the mouth of a movement conservative:

"[Bush] lacks style and substance, holds himself above the American people, believes government more important than the governed, and conducts himself in a mulish and careless manner that diminishes, rather than enhances, American culture... He's an empire-building, money-splurging interventionist politician who believes American government should dispense and regulate liberty."

My question is, "Who is supporting Dubya?" That 38% approval rating has to be coming from somewhere. Like People Who Refuse To Admit Mistakes Anonymous. Or the Single Issue Voters Club. Or perhaps the West Taxas Oil Association. Will somebody please take responsibility for this guy?
