In Love With Bush & Disconnected From Reality

Nora Ephron touches on something interesting here ...
"Condi saw her job as "conflict resolution ... Thousands of hours were wasted by searching for middle ground, which most of the time will not exist." Ledeen claims that the best way to understand the Bush Administration is to look at who the most powerful people in the White House are: "They are women who are in love with the President: Laura, Condi, Harriet Miers and Karen Hughes."
... Meanwhile, the woman is still with us, more powerful and more disconnected from reality than ever. She apparently still believes there's no point in talking to Syria and Iran. She still believes that democracy is a feasible goal in Iraq ... "

OK. Now, nobody's saying that ALL of those women in love with Bush are sleeping with him - just some of them. But what I AM saying is that all of those women in love with Bush are disconnected from reality. That disconnection from reality is, it seems, a prerequisite for being in love with the man. Or vice-versa. Is it just me, or is there also something creepy about the alternating vacant stares/painted-on-smiles that one finds in these same Bush-loving/reality-disconnected ladies?
