News From Planet Oh Right Sure:Bush doesn't like Delay

Relying on "people who know Bush well," an "official close to both men," and various other unnamed sources, Time Mag's MATTHEW COOPER & MIKE ALLEN have teamed up to spew these White House talking points, which could've been filed under "Bush Hardly Knows Tom DeLay! Really!"

White House Talking Points on Tom DeLay:

Never A Texas Two Step

Privately, Bush questioned his fellow Texan's mojo

There's a longtime chill between the two pols

The two conservative Texans' relationship is professional—an alliance, not a friendship

The President's inner circle always treated DeLay as a necessary burden (That must be why Bush told Fox News' Brit Hume that DeLay is innocent and "I like him.")

DeLay is not the kind of guy—in background and temperament—the President feels comfortable with. Of the former exterminator, a Republican close to the President's inner circle says, "They have always seen him as beneath them, more blue collar. He's seen as a useful servant, not someone you would want to vacation with."

Hm. Bush didn't know Kenneth Lay, doesn't know Jack Abramoff, and now doesn't either now or really like his personal "hammer," Tom DeLay.

That talking point (bolded) about DeLay being "beneath" Bush in background and temperament should send chills down the spines of BushCo water carriers across the nation...

Especially right after Bush proclaimed DeLay's innocence.

Wow! Beneath Bush in background and temperament.

Question: What exactly does one find beneath a bottom-dwelling flounder like George W. Bush?

Answer: Contaminated sediment, of course.
