Never Enough Zingers Department

Who would've thought that one of Reagan's old hands would give Dubya such a well-deserved kick in the tuchus?

Speaking to The Los Angeles Times this week about Mr. Bush's floundering, the Reagan administration policy honcho for the Mideast, Geoffrey Kemp, said: "A two-year-old could have seen this crisis coming. And the idea that it could be brushed under the carpet as the administration focused on either Afghanistan or Iraq reflects either appalling arrogance or ignorance."

That's gotta hurt.
