Willie Loman?

Yesterday in the New York Times, Frank Rich wrote, "President Bush always had one asset he could fall back on: the self-confidence of a born salesman. Like Harold Hill in “The Music Man,” he knew how to roll out a new product, however deceptive or useless, with conviction and stagecraft. What the world saw on Wednesday night was a defeated Willy Loman who looked as broken as his war" (“He’s in the Bunker Now”). That's a surprising and interesting image of our president.
