THE EXPLANATION IS PRETTY SIMPLE...:

George Bush's Stepford Critics: You're likely to recant, zombie- like, if you betray the president. (JONATHAN CHAIT, February 25, 2005, LA Times)

Most presidents have to face betrayal sooner or later. (See John Dean revealing Nixon's cover-up, or David Stockman revealing the underside of Reagan's fiscal policies.) What's uncanny about the Bush administration is that its dissidents invariably recant, usually in zombie-like fashion.

...they're wrong.
