Rift Between W and Father

www.insightmag.com has the article here. The story reveals the Scowcroft interview was the breaking point. This is entirely believable. There is a thread of decency in the old man that is entirely absent in his son.

Now: "The atmosphere in the Oval Office has become unbearable," a source said. Even the family is split. The number of trusted (all women) has dwindled to a handful: The sources said Mr. Bush maintains daily contact with only four people: first lady Laura Bush, his mother, Barbara Bush, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Undersecretary of State Karen Hughes. The sources also say that Mr.Bush has stopped talking with his father, except on family occasions. Oedipus Bush? The powerful male figures have apparently fallen by the wayside (his father, Cheney, and now Rove).

It's hard to picture him reversing his political misfortunes with their advice driving the action.
