Is He Out Of His Mind?

Behold the subheadline to this Christian Science Monitor article:

To shore up political capital, Bush reaches out to Democrats; but critics insist that recent bipartisan consultations on the Iraq war are for show. [link added]

Looking for political capital by reaching out to your avowed enemies is like looking for peace in Afghan caves. What's next for the "New Tone"-addled Dubya? Convening a summit meeting with Osama bin Laden and/or Ayman al-Zawahri? When will this man learn that any remote hope of genuine "bipartisan consensus" on anything died in the Florida 2K insurrection?

Apparently, never.
