Joe Scarborough was Republican Congressman from Florida from 1995 to 2001. He is now he host of MSNBC’s “Scarborough Country.”

Here he asks a fabulous question (in Alexander Pope’s words, “what oft was thought, but ne’er so well expressed”): How does a God-fearing Reagan Republican explain away botching a war, doubling the national debt, keeping company with Jack Abramoff, fumbling the response to Hurricane Katrina, expanding the government at record rates, raising cronyism to an art form, playing poker with Duke Cunningham, isolating America and repeatedly electing Tom DeLay as the House majority leader? How does such a politico convince the voters that he or she deserves to stay in power?

Easy. Blame George W. Bush.

Entertaining, informative, and funny (if it just weren’t so @#&!!^^$#@! depressing)…BS
