The sources said Mr. Bush maintains daily contact with only four people: first lady Laura Bush, his mother, Barbara Bush, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Undersecretary of State Karen Hughes. The sources also say that Mr. Bush has stopped talking with his father, except on family occasions.
Hunter, in the Daily Kos, reports that Bush feels betrayed by his father, believing him to be behind Brent Scowcroft’s devastating interview in The New Yorker, and by Karl Rove, because he lied to the President about the Plamegate affair. Even in the best of times, this President is dangerously isolated from anyone who would tell him the truth about what’s going on in the world. Now these reports, coming on top of other recent reports about his resumed drinking and other erratic behavior, are really frightening. And Hunter points out that the new stories are coming from bedrock Republican sources, e.g. The Washington Times and Matt Drudge.
