Is the Boy going Deeper into His Bubble?

Bush has been known to be insular to a fault. now it seems that a sense of betrayal and disappointment are intensifying. Sources tell the Washington Times that Bush has basically cut off day to day contact with everyone but Condi, the First Lady, under secretary of state Karen Hughes, and his mommy. Evidently he's only speaking to his father at family occasions.

For the president, what triggered the break with his father was the interview given to the New Yorker magazine in October by Brent Scowcroft, who served as national security advisor in the first Bush presidency. In the interview, Mr. Scowcroft criticized the administration's handling of Iraq. The sources said the president is convinced that Mr. Scowcroft consulted with Mr. Bush's father prior to delivering the devastating critique of the president's Iraq policy. [...]

Relations between Mr. Bush and his chief political adviser, Karl Rove, had also become tense in the build-up to the indictment of Mr. Libby. This is due to the fact the president believed his chief aide when Mr. Rove said that he had nothing to do with the leak of Mrs. Plame's identity. The prospect that Mr. Libby will turn state evidence in the Plame case is even more alarming for the White House.

ouch!

Time to grow up. Being President isn't playing dress-up.
