Send in the clowns

Quote of the day from a story on a White House pep rally to cheer up the party pessimists. Apparently no one gets to contradict the King.

In an interview shown Sunday on ABC News, Mr. Bush was asked about a comment by the first President Bush, who said this month that he hated to think about life for his son if Democrats took control of Congress. “He shouldn’t be speculating like that, because he should have called me ahead of time,” the president said, “and I’d tell him they’re not going to.”

Oh baby. Can you say Oedipus Rex?
