"During his first 100 days, George W. Bush's principal accomplishment,
indeed his only one, was to demolish any too-generous illusions about who
he is. The mild and moderate character who ran for President, claiming to
want more or less the same things Al Gore wanted, has been replaced by a
hard-edged, rather maladroit right-winger. Bush brushed aside his own
rhetorical flourishes toward bipartisan civility and has engaged in a
bare-knuckle (and politically tone-deaf) style of governing that most
resembles the notorious theft in the Florida recount operation."
