Scott Rosenberg points to a USAToday story about how the war is wearing on W. in which we learn two important facts:

1. “Bush believes he was called by God to lead the nation at this time, says Commerce Secretary Don Evans, a close friend who talks with Bush every day.”

2. ” He’s being hard on himself; he gave up sweets just before the war began.”

That Bush believes he’s on a mission from God is scary. But that he thinks that giving up sweets is a deprivation that in any way compares to that of our soldiers much less the people of Iraq is like a bad joke.

Just one more implausible detail in the ludicrious novel that is this administration.
