LARRY KUDLOW ON THE ROPE-A-DOPE: Writing in The Washington Times, Kudlow keeps up the rope-a-dope theme, comparing Bush’s at times seemingly incoherent foreign policy to not just Eisenhower’s, but George Washington’s as well:

When the dust settles in the Middle East, I certainly hope we’ll say the same thing about Bush.
