Orgy Think

It looks like Bush continues to "purify" his administration. Suskind's aptly titled book, The Price of Loyalty, gave insight into the degree to which loyalty played, and clearly plays, in the Bush administration. It is one thing to have key advisors and/or a few cabinet members as close confidants but to have ALL of them as "Yes" men and women is frankly terrifying. If Bush were a genious that would be one thing. It is quite another when he is a simpleton.
This country was founded on dissent. It appropriately follows that good presidents have incorporated dissenting opinions into the proccess through which policies are created and administered. A president who is told what he wants to hear, or worse, one who avoids being told much at all by design, and/or one who can't or won't redirect when needed is a president who better be right ALL the time. This is impossible.
Given this president's poor track record to date a more unified administration in the context of a highly obedient and organized congressional majority of the same party spells trouble. We ain't seen nothin' yet: "group think", hah! Try Orgy think!!!
