All Intensive Purposes

The Washington Post suggests this morning that more changes are coming at the White House, but hastens to add that Bush wants everyone to know that he is not listening to his critics:

White House aides have made clear Bush wants the changes to look like the logical result of Bolten's promotion -- not a shake-up in response to his critics.

When Bush was strong, his "fuck all y'all" style augmented his strength. Now that he's weak, it's compounding his weakness.
