The discussion which followed Joe Scarborough’s stunning recap of the Bush press conference yesterday focused almost entirely on whether the president is delusional.

The consensus among Michael Crowley (New Republic), Josh Green (Atlantic Monthly), and Mike Barnacle (MSNBC contributor) was a resounding yes.

Joe is a former republican congressman who supported Bush twice. It sounds like he’s had enough.

The only thing at this press conference which was worse than the president’s snyde, contemptuous and contradictory answers were his sick attempts at humor for a situation that no-one is laughing about. Then there is the issue of questions from the press corps. Lame comes to mind.
