Got his back

Via the Daou Report, a staunch Bush supporter looks behind the furor over the Dubai Ports fiasco and sees...wait for it...the Em. Ess. Em. And traitorous Congressional Republicans who have forgotten their blood oath to Dear Leader. Alongside a web ad for Bill Frist, he writes,

What is really stunning is how fast even GOPers turned on a dime against the President. When I attended the RNC Blogger Forum in DC back in January, I got to meet Senate Majority Leader Frist - and the exchange vastly improved my opinion of Senator Frist. All that has evaporated. Indeed, I'll likely never trust Frist with so much as the political equivalent of a burnt-out match, given the way he allowed himself to be rolled by this run-of-the-mill scare lobbying campaign.

You can see it now, can't you? It was all just a game, orchestrated by some interests who stood to lose if Dubai Ports World came in. I'm not the cleverest guy in the whole, wide world - but I smelt the political rat here a mile off. I was unimpressed by the first tremors of this furor last week because, quite honestly, it didn't seem that big a deal. Who, after all, would think that an Executive Branch run by scourge-of-terrorism George Bush would do anything to allow terrorists a new foothold in the United States? It was too absurd to contemplate - but not too absurd for the MSM... [sic] and, God help us, not too absurd for it to be used to roll the Congressional GOP.

I really feel for President Bush these days - he's carrying the whole load, hindered rather than helped by his alleged political allies. This man has to fight terrorism, fend off increasingly strident attacks from Democrats, and sustain the entire GOP.

Ah, well, he's tough enough. Keep at it, Mr. President: there are still some of us out here who got your back.

Hmmm. I'm guessing that Mark Noonan doesn't mean that in a, ya know, Brokeback Mountain kind of way, but whatever. Whenever someone says that he's "not the cleverest guy in the whole, wide world," he probably thinks that, yes, he's pretty clever. But "smelt?" I knew they were a non-native nuisance fish, but are they who he means by the "interests who stood to lose if Dubai Ports came in?" He doesn't elaborate, so I'll go with that.

Anyway, it would seem that Noonan is wearing a prototype pair of "Red State Spex."
