Asleep at the Wheel

As the wheels come off the economy, Dan Froomkin wonders if Bush is again asleep at the wheel.

As the storm clouds gathered, was President Bush once again asleep at the wheel?

A consistent theme in today's political and economic coverage is that Bush's failure to recognize the severity of the ongoing financial crisis and act accordingly is reminiscent of his disastrously slow and inept response to Hurricane Katrina.

I think that metaphor needs to be retired Dan. Asleep at the wheel implies that he was formerly in control. Bush is stoned and passed out in the back seat. Always has been.
