Eating their own

This is no April Fool's Day joke: one of Bush's chief campaign advisers has spoken out in opposition to his former boss. Matthew Dowd spoke to the New York Times about the seeming sincerity that initially wooed him from the Democratic party to being instrumental to both of Bush's elections. But his disappointment in Bush's many failures, including the lack of follow-through on his promise to unify America and his increasingly blatant isolationist tendencies (in terms of gaining consensus about policy) have driven him from Bush's side and perhaps even back to the democratic party.

They're on the descent down the slippery slope of losing power when they start eating their own - in public, no less.
