Quote Du Jour

From Salon.com:

"In his unstoppable commentary about himself, Bush has become as certain of his exalted place in history as he is of his policy's rightness. ... History has become a magical incantation for him, a kind of prayerful refuge where he is safe from having to think in the present. For Bush, history is supernatural, a deus ex machina, nothing less than a kind of divine intervention enabling him to enter presidential Valhalla. Through his fantasy about history as afterlife - the stairway to paradise - he rationalizes his current course."

-Sidney Blumenthal
