What is the Price of a Soul?

Bush says he didn't compromise his soul for popularity.

That's obvious. What is not obvious is why he compromised his soul at all.

In an interview with Fox News, the president apparently continues to try to defend the damage he has done to our free-market-based economic system:

"I'm a free market guy," Bush said. "But I'm not going to let this economy crater in order to preserve the free market system."

Or as they said back in the days of Vietnam, "We had to burn the village to save it."

Insanity then, insanity now.
