When Bush boarded his helicopter last week and flew out of Washington, over the next several days I sensed in the world of progressive politics a mustering of lawmakers, pundits, bloggers, and others who, in effect, mounted their steeds and, in a cloud of dust, went stampeding after him, guns blazing! I share Obama's stated ambivalence on some of this -- but I am very interested in following the progress of this group I playfully refer to as the "Bush Posse." Knowing that some readers share my ambivalence, I'm pulling these stories out of the usual News Nuggets and giving them a separate category of posting. To kick it off, check these missives from today.

From one of the MAIN targets of the posse, no vested interest expressed here!
