Bush's alternate reality

I saved this article from a couple days ago. The Iraqis, at least a part of them, had reached an agreement on a draft for their Constitution, and immediately Bush rushed to trumpet the achievement, in spite of the charter's glaring shortcomings. This passage is striking:

Mr. Bush breezily praised the constitutional process as if it were the antithesis of the military conflict, rather than a political expression of the same Iraqi power struggle. He boasted that Iraq will have a constitution that "honors women's rights" and "the rights of minorities" even though the prevailing draft raises serious questions about both.

Again, George Pan is living in his own reality, where all is rosy (he probably flies too and Karl Rove is dressed as Tinkerbell -- yuck, what a mental image,) and would like for us to follow him there; he lures us there. The problem is that now, finally, more and more people are realizing that his reality isn't the reality we all live in, and just him saying something doesn't make it so.

Let's just hope these people don't fall back asleep.
