Ankle Biters Get Teeth into Inaugural Speech

Loyal liberal E.J. Dionne gets to work
on knee-capping the president’s inaugural speech. Apparently
there was much less than met the eye; Bush isn’t going to march out and
conquer the world tomorrow, according to White House staffers.
This is a problem “and a terrible mistake for Bush,
because the greatest barrier to Bush’s success in his second term
is the intense cynicism he has inspired about his motives.” Well
that’s a possibility.
Or is Bush’s big problem the intense cynicism his political opponents have
inspired about his motives? There is a difference, Mr. Dionne.
