Bush Speech Effect: Blog Crackup

Bush's speech to me was nothing new. However, it seems to have destroyed the cohesion at Polipundit. For the most part, Polipundit editors were not happy with the speech (to say the least). See here and here. One editor, Lorie Byrd, departed - seemingly unimacably. In the meantime, Polipundit has explained the editorial change.

Wow - Bush has really chosen a topic of focus whereby he has zero chance of succeeding. If he succeeds, he destroys a large part of his base. How about a live press conference about the benefits of those tax cuts to help make them permanent?
