...George Bush, whose cave-in on taxes was "the Yalta of the Republican Party." He uses Bushspeak a la Saturday Night Live's Dana Carvey to lambaste the President for breaking his tax pledge and begs Bush to debate him "at the country club of his choice." His regular stump speech extolling isolationism, protectionism and fiscal stinginess is seasoned with attacks on "boodling" Congressmen, upholstered think tanks cooking up cockeyed new programs, and softheaded Trilateralists who would bail out Chinese communist Deng Xiaoping, the "85-year-old chain-smoking communist dwarf" but let Macy's go into Chapter...

...resentment, of course, is fueled by the seemingly endless recession. Bush's Tokyo foray, in which the enduring -- and symbolic -- image was of the American President collapsing into the lap of the Japanese Prime Minister, intensified American feelings of anger and humiliation. Pat Buchanan, whose New Hampshire stump speech includes numerous nods to his isolationist "America First" economic platform, fans the flames. "We're on a wave of Japan bashing that is much more serious than in previous years," concludes I.M. Destler, a visiting fellow at the Institute for International Economics in Washington...
