I always thought that the notion that George W. Bush went into Iraq to please his father was an idiotic theory, but Moe Lane has a much more plausible one with regard to the current president. He did, after all, have a whole book ghost written for him on the subject.

I also think that Romney will take advantage of the president’s visceral dislike for him repeatedly in the next three months, by getting under his skin and goading him into some very ugly stuff that will finally dispose of his supposed “likability.”
