MSNBC was reporting yesterday about his distance from his dad and that he essentially is only listening to wimmen.
I'm not too surprised since Rice, and the neocons, still have his ear. He seems to have forsaken his Daddy's advisors, though there is a move to get Brent Scowcroft back in to counsel the wayward boy president.
Putin, it seems has tried to talk some sense to Dumbya, and it seems he has warmed to Putin's offer to enrich uranium for Iraq's civilian nuclear projects with strict controls in place. Putin sees the danger of the Zionist threat which a wider war would initiate. And Putin is not at all keen on the idea, though they are all in agreement that there should be a New World Order. The only question is who will get the bigger piece of the pie.
