The Scar says that Republicans are suddenly very pleased with George Bush's performance as the Decider including his....cough...cough....foreign policy.

Shuster: Joe, I like you a lot. but I cannot let you by with what you just said about "George Bush" and his foreign policy successes.

Joe, I don't even know where to begin....If the US had taken care of business in Afghanistan along the Pakistan border, had taken care of al-Qaeda, had sent 150,000 troops there instead of to Iraq which had nothing to so with the al-Qaeda attacks on 9/11, then al-Qaeda and the Taliban, they wouldn't have the influence, the destabilizing influence they have over Pakistan today...

The Scar tries to downplay Shuster's reporting by saying that since he's a former member of Congress---then Shuster doesn't really know what he's talking about because he's not a former member of Congress. David just laughed at him on that one...Joe Scarborough is the guy that did a segment called "Is Bush an Idiot" and then followed it up with a few more segments defending that take...As any election cycle approaches, a wingnut like Scarborough will always try to get back in the good graces of their party after trying to tell the truth for a short period of time.
