The House Republicans aren't showing any love for George W. Bush. But, they own him and he owns them. They're one and the same:
Rep. Tom Davis stomped on the concrete floor of the Capitol basement when asked by reporters about Republican fortunes at the moment.
"This is the floor," he said, by way of explanation. "We're below the floor."
Inside the meeting, Davis had just presented his colleagues with what he said was a 20-page memo outlining his prescription for a way out of this mess. He did not offer details to the press, yet did not spare the party and the president scathing criticism in his public comments.
"The president swallows the microphone every time he opens his mouth," Davis said.
This is the Bush/Rove legacy. Now, every time some pundit quotes Rove, factor in the destruction he's helped wreak upon the GOP.
