I recently watched again Stephen Colbert's routine at the White House Correspondents' Dinner or whatever. I paid attention to the footage from the other camera, the camera that captured Mr. Bush's reaction to the routine. Mr. Bush put on a nice display, narrowing his eyes, as if to say, "I'll get you." They were the affectations of a man confident in his own power.
You don't see that look anymore. In any recent video or still photo of Mr. Bush, you see only fear and defeat.
He is a broken man. And he knows this. He is only now ripe for redemption. His salvation is in his own hands; it will not come from without.
