Scenes from a CA Meeting

At Conservative Forum on Bush, Everybody's a Critic

"We did ask a few members of the Bush economic team to come," explained
David Boaz, the think tank's [Cato Institute] executive vice president, as he moderated
a discussion between two prominent conservatives about President Bush.
"We didn't get that."Now why would the administration pass up such an invitation?

Well, it could have been because of the first speaker, former Reagan aide Bruce Bartlett. Author of the new book "Impostor: How George W. Bush Bankrupted America and Betrayed the Reagan Legacy," Bartlett called the administration "unconscionable," "irresponsible," "vindictive" and "inept."

It might also have had something to do with speaker No. 2, conservative blogger Andrew Sullivan. Author of the forthcoming "The Conservative Soul: How We Lost It; How to Get It Back," Sullivan called Bush "reckless" and "a socialist," and accused him of betraying "almost every principle conservatism has ever stood for."
