Dept. of schadenfreude

Just because it's on the internet and the writing is AP style, don't assume any of this is true. But it does make for some nice dreamy reading: Sullen, Depressed President Retreats Into Private, Paranoid World. Strange -- if it is true, it's almost enough to make you feel sorry for the guy. And if it's not true, then you feel even worse for reading such yellow journalism.

I don't know if it's true or not. But quotes like this:

Some on Ridge’s staff gripe privately that Ashcroft is "Bush's Himmler," a reference to Heinrich Himmler, Chief of the SS (the German Police) under Adolph Hitler.

... are really too over the top. Like the Republicans even know the names of Hitler's staff.
