Bush's gone crazy - part II

So the Drudge leak(below) was accurate. Read it first to get a background. Insight magazine has the story up now, and the parts in the last post, although juicy, are not nearly as interesting as this. (It's short, read the whole thing)

For the president, what triggered the break with his father was the interview given to the New Yorker magazine in October by Brent Scowcroft, who served as national security advisor in the first Bush presidency. In the interview, Mr. Scowcroft criticized the administration's handling of Iraq. The sources said the president is convinced that Mr. Scowcroft consulted with Mr. Bush's father prior to delivering the devastating critique of the president's Iraq policy.

The interview sparked a series of high-level criticism that Mr. Bush believes was coordinated by circles close to his father. Mr. Scowcroft and Mr. Bush's father have been regarded as being best friends.

There's more there about Rove, Libby, and the general state of things, but this really grabs me. Those who have read me for the last few months know of my theory that Colin Powell is out to get Dick Cheney, but maybe this is just part of the greater intrigue.

Maybe we're witnessing the conflict of dynastic politics. After all, certainly George Jr's presidency has seriously handicapped any presidential aspirations the family had for Jeb. Jeb was always considered the more likely(and more capable) probability for another Bush in the White House. And it has always seemed that George Sr. preferred him.

(one mitigating note. This story appears to be mainly from one source, so take into account accuracy, motivations, etc. Also, look for a Bush/Bush photo op when Bush Jr. gets back from running from his domestic problems. If it doesn't happen, this is a really big deal.)
