Mr. President has told the nation: "I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job." With God's guidance, he spent almost a month at his Crawford ranch cultivating his tan and avoiding a crowd of campers.
When Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast, Mr. President was touring the West trying to rescue his sinking Social Security plan and hyping his war in Iraq. When questioned about the flooding of New Orleans, Mr. President offered these divinely inspired words: "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees." Perhaps he misunderstands God on occasion.
Or maybe the Devil messes with the celestial switchboard. In that case, maybe Mr. President's imperial slogans and clichés are Lucifer's fault. We know that Mr. President believes that human beings are in an never-ending wrestling match with evil.
