Ooooops. Seems as though I had a Faux News moment there.

Guess that ain't W after all. At least Bobby has the honesty to tell it like it is.

W can only Wish - At least, that's what I hope...

1. This is how dictators operate.
and this is why the Legislature will not impeach, or enforce a single subpoena.

We can have a peaceful revolution in November (hopefully), or become a banana republic in a matter of weeks.

2. A few years back, I had a very similar moment with a Bush "loyalist." Check this out
I was talking with some people about the situation in Asia, and
this Bush kool-aid drinker came over and caught most of it, but
not the beginning:

I was mocking a pompous ass parading around as head of state with no
real qualifications for the position other than his father had held
the same office. He liked to pose with the military although he himself
had had no real military experience. His version of economics had ruined
the economic situation of the country. He was pretty much cut off from the
real world by sycophantic yes-men, and thought of himself as as true leader
instead of the clown (albeit dangerous clown) that he really was.

So, this angry (they're always angry, come to think of it) Republican "patriot"
came up to me and lit into me for dissing "our President and Commander-in-Chief."
I informed the guy that I had, in fact, been talking about North Korea's Kim
Jong Il, but if he saw that many similarities, he probably had a point.

The mumbled response as he turned away was, unfortunately, in Bushese or
something, as I never was able to make it out.
