Jesus Christ resigns as Favorite Political Philosopher

It was a different President Bush who took the podium Wednesday in the White House East Room.

Gone was the annointed warrior of God, the man called by history to liberate the world from tyranny. In his place was a savvy Texas politician, a man who looked like he intended to stay in the game and play the hand he was dealt.

Gone was the theory of the unitary executive. Gone was the claim of unlimited commander-in-chief powers during wartime. In their place was a pledge to consult with Congress about the best way forward in Iraq.

The eagle has landed.

Welcome back, Mr. President.
