Well, duh

Newsweek's cover this week is headlined "The Party's Over: A Dispirited GOP Struggles To Find Its Post-Bush Path." The there's an "exclusive excerpt" from Jacob Weisberg's "The Bush Tragedy." It's good that the mainstream media is finally recognizing what many non-expert observers - i.e., most of the rest of the country - figured out years ago. But then, like our leaders, the media are more adept at stating the obvious after the fact than they are at being ahead of the curve. It's just too bad Newsweek couldn't have written a little more objectively about the Bush and GOP failures a few months before the last election.
