Just had an awful thought
Follow me through on this.....

Bush is immune from impeachment as long as Republicans maintain control of the House of Representatives..

Bush has about as much chance getting his initiatives through Congress as the proverbial snowball in hell....

He doesn't have to worry about running for re-election to ANYTHING EVER AGAIN....

Sooooooooo

what he there for is the same that as Doug Adam's character Zaphod Beeblebrox was in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy namely, He's President NOT to RUN the Government, but to distract us from what the GOVERNMENT IS ACTUALLY DOING....

IOW...Bush is the side show....he needs to be outrageous and say outrageous things to distract us from what the Repubs are doing in the CIA, FBI, National Institutes of Health, Social Security Administration, etc., etc.,



Watch Bush...forget what Cheney and Rummy are doing!!!

1. Yes, I don't think you're taking a big leap here. Have you read about PNAC

2. Bush is the PNAC puppet. He's the cheerleader standing on
the sidelines and making the noise to get people excited, but PNAC is the coach that is making the game plan.

3. Keep your eyes on many balls at once. Practice juggling.

4. Like I told my brother
If these people want you to look at the right hand, you better damn well look at the left one.

5. Bush IS Zaphod....without any of Zaphod's style.
Sad, really.

I'll bet Douglas Adams worked hard at making Zaphod completely irresponsible and none-too-bright. Bush manages to do it by nature...

6. They don't care
bushco, Inc. couldn't care less about poll numbers or what the majority of Americans think. They already won, lameduck coasting downhill in the second term and there's nothing anybody can do about it.

7. That was part of the point
he (Bush) doesn't matter any more....the only useful purpose he serves is to draw the flak and attention of the media while his cronies do their best to loot the last dimes and nickels out of the treasury.

8. Yes I know
Forgive me if my post sounded snarky, not directed at you or intended to deter your point.
I think junior is well suited and probably genetically predisposed to be good at misdirection.
