Bush Looks to Bounce Back From Bad News

Kind of like how nearly everything bounces once it hits rock bottom?

WASHINGTON - George W. Bush hopes to find the path to recovery from a week of bad news that staggered his presidency in a nuts-and-bolts focus on governing.

The week that was: conservatives in the president's own party hounded him into withdrawing Harriet Miers' Supreme Court nomination; the U.S. death toll in Iraq surpassed 2,000; and Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff was indicted by a federal grand jury.

The aide, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, is accused of lying about his role in blowing the CIA cover of an Iraq war critic's wife. The charges grew out of an investigation that was the product of the fierce debate two years ago over Bush's contention that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction.

Cheney and Libby were two of the administration's leading lobbyists for the U.S.-led invasion, and the indictment could remind Americans increasingly unhappy with the war that the president's primary justification for it turned out to be false. A Libby trial could see the famously secretive vice president called as a witness and asked to answer embarrassing questions.

2. No last week was just the tree growing out of the cliffside ....

4. There's no bounce left in this cat

Dead cats don't bounce.

6. Having dealt with my fair share of deceased felines, I can vouch for that!

(The live ones don't bounce too well either, I have to admit. Especially when anesthetized)

5. Once people start getting their heating bills, Busholini sinks more.

He's hurting people in the one area they really care about--their wallets. Their is no upside for these clowns unless they get energy costs way down next spring. Then they might be able to rebound a little before the elections. Until then, they are in deep doo-doo.

7. I think we'll be more likely to see a slug skipping rope. n/t
