Now That Is Really Harsh

From The Business Online :

As one astute American conservative commentator has already observed, President Bush has morphed into the Manchurian Candidate, behaving as if placed among Americans by their enemies to do them damage.

How does a President -- or a Party -- recover from this kind of anger from within his/its own "base"?

FYI: The "astute American conservative commenter" is apparently Dana Blankenhorn at Corante.
