his own people are turning against him...

Robert Novak's Townhall.com op/ed Bashing Bush in Aspen sheds some light on the grief W's getting from the "right" (how right-wing they really are, who knows). Excerpt:

"For two full days, George W. Bush was bashed. He was taken to task on his handling of stem cell research, population control, the Iraq war and, especially, Hurricane Katrina. The critics were no left-wing bloggers. They were rich, mainly Republican and presumably Bush voters in the last two presidential elections.

The Bush-bashing occurred last weekend at the annual Aspen conference sponsored by the New York investment firm Forstmann Little & Co.

...

It would be a shame if Rove returned to Washington without informing George W. Bush how erstwhile friends have turned against him."

What happens when you turn against Israel? Everyone turns against you.

Sing it with me now: Lov-ely Rita, Hur-ri-cane.... Lov-ely Rita, Hur-ri-cane...
