The Loser 

Kill the headlights and put it in neutral,
Stock car flamin’ with a loser and the cruise control … - Beck, “Loser”

There are some kinds of history presidents just don’t want to make. Nixon sure didn’t want to be the first president to resign the office in disgrace. Johnson didn’t enjoy being forced to fold his hand. Hoover couldn’t understand why so many laid the depth of the Depression at his feet. The list goes on.

George W. Bush is making some history of his own these days. When all is said and done, he will go into the books as the first American president to lose two wars at the same time.

Can’t be that bad, you say? Chew on this: Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist pretty much unilaterally surrendered to the Taliban last week after a quick tour of Afghanistan. Granted, Mr. Frist is not a noted military tactician by any measure, but the writing is on the wall over there for just about anyone to read. Frist read it, and ran up the white flag.
