adjectives...
Here's a snarky little piece that tries to make news out of the fact that Bush's core staff is very loyal and has almost no turnover.
I amuse myself by imagining the descriptive terminology that would be used if Bill Clinton had had similar subordinates...loyalty, modesty. selflessness, duty, collegiality, harmony, good management, band-of-brothers, sticking to one's post....I bet we'd hear them all.
Since it's Bush, the terms used are things like out-of-touch, group-think, "surrounded by people who agree with him..."
And of course: "...inside a bubble that isolates him from smart dissent, healthy competition, fresh ideas and bad news."
