Presidential advisers and friends say Bush is a mass of contradictions: cheerful and serene, peevish and melancholy, occasionally lapsing into what he once derided as the "blame game." They describe him as beset but unbowed, convinced that history will vindicate the major decisions of his presidency even if they damage him and his party in the 2006 and 2008 elections.
Bush is so dismayed that "the only person escaping blame is the President himself," said a sympathetic official, who delicately termed such self-exoneration "illogical."
Oh, this is good.
ETA: Steve at The News Blog argues that stories like this up the chances for impeachment, or at the very least a graceful exit via the 25th Amendment.
If I was a House member and read [the emphasized text above], impeachment would be a much less distant prospect today. He's saying that he could give a shit about your job.
