3. That is an intriguing thought.

Bush pulls a plea bargain - blames his co-criminals to save his own ass. Entirely possible!

4. Probably.
W has been in many scrapes (TANG, Harkin Oil, the Texas Rangers, Amurika) and always managed to come out unscathed, leaving someone else to carry the burden and clean up his mess or accept responsibility. Dick will take the fall, then have a heart attack, and go Kenny Baby on us. Paraguay will have yet another new resident.

5. We can only hope.

*'s miserable ass ain't shit, he's only been the friendly face of fascism in this country. You know, the one we'd all like to have a cheap american beer with. I'd rather strike at the root and punish those who were running him all these years.

* will get his when no one will pay to hear him speak, when he finds out he can no longer travel anywhere except maybe Myanmar, and when Laura kicks his ass to the curb and has a ghostwriter put together a 'tell-all'.

6. It sort of just did
Just read that Bush won't pardon Scooter Libby. That could be a start.

12. If he pardoned scooter
Then scooter couldn't avoid testifying and couldn't take the 5th. Commuting his sentence doesn't gives him the net benefits of the pardon (no jail time) but doesn't allow compulsion to testify.

11. If he was smart enough he would
But I think it is far more likely that the Dick throws the boy king under the bus.

Boosh is a naive child and no match at all for the Dick. I believe that boosh will end up being the scapegoat for all the misdeeds of the administration.

This is perhaps fitting - he wanted to be the "big boss". But he never really was in charge of any aspect of administration policy, and now he will take the fall for all the many fuckups.

13. I don't know, but I'll gladly sit and watch Cheney be thrown under any bus...
Edited on Mon Jan-19-09 05:47 PM by MrMickeysMom
My guess is the bus would ignite and sink underground to the pits of hell.
