“The person who’s in charge is me.”
It took a while, but George W. Bush is finally imploding. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. (thanks to John Callender of lies.com for the link) Reading this story, I got the mental image of Bush’s forehead veins growing more and more prominent, his face redder and redder, until his head just exploded, like in “Scanners.” All I know is, something’s gotta give.
All the latest news (infighting, leaks, musical chairs, evangelical generals, the Kay non-report, Halliburton, and on and on) has me deeply ambivalent. As I said in an e-mail to John C. after he sent me the above link, on the one hand this stuff has me on the edge of my seat, excitedly wondering what the next massive blunder will be.
But on the other hand, it has me melancholy that fundamentally, the President could still stab a six-year-old girl on national television and virtually no one would care.
I bet he could really use a drink right now.
And how about “Zach Wamp” to add to your favorite names list?
I also like the name “Saxby Chambliss,” although he was the one who questioned triple-amputee war veteran Max Cleland’s patriotism.
Well, what do you expect of someone named “Saxby?”
I wonder if Bush considers headlines like “Still no WMD” a “leak” too. Leaking that he’s up a creek.
