" Renowned Silly Person, and onetime Karl Rove spiritual adviser, Ron Fournier would like to explain history to you now. Why does this matter? Because a president&amp;#039;s credibility matters. President Bush&amp;#039;s second term effectively ended when Americans grew tired of his administration&amp;#039;s spinning and dissembling over Iraq and Katrina. They stopped trusting him. They stopped listening to him. He no longer had the moral authority to lead.  Ron, baby, C-Plus Augustus didn&amp;#039;t lose the country because he was a really bad liar about Iraq and Katrina, though indeed he was. He lost the country because he so transparently and obviously fked both of them up to a faretheewell, and the country is not always stupid. It wasn&amp;#039;t the &amp;quot;spinning.&amp;quot; It was the IEDs, and ther lack of WMDs. It wasn&amp;#039;t the &amp;quot;dissembling.&amp;quot; It was people suffocating in their attics and collapsing from heatstroke on highway overpasses. The only way this parallel works is if the people with whom Ron Fournier hangs out inside the Beltway decide to make it work and, alas, there are more of them than there are of us.
