Gene Lyons calls W a cat among the pigeons
snip

So which do you believe, your president or your lying eyes ? The sheer brazenness of Bush’s fictions suggests a classic con-man’s personality: intellectually insecure, but inwardly contemptuous of how gullible and easily manipulated people are. He may even buy into that make-believe about Saddam at some level. Even for a stone sociopath, a story’s an easier sell when it’s halfway sincere. But his strongest belief is that George W. Bush is a big cat in a world of pigeons.

2. I don't buy it.
The people behind Bush might be "Cats among pigeons", but Bush doesn't have the intelligence or insight to manipulate people like that.

Cheney, on the other hand, certainly does and so does Rove.

3. Well, Gene accepted my work and I don't take payment. So I guess
it's just men who need $$$ for affirmation. But I get his point ... and he should know that I was there as part of the solution w/his friend. Till next time ...
