To quote redlemon, ratbastid speaks the truth. (and you can quote me on that). The dangerous question in this is does Bush know he's in the bubble? This takes us to two possible answers, something I have been unsure about since 2000: either Bush is grossly incompetent, and his lack of experience, foresight, and general politics, economics, and sociology are leading him deeper into his hole, OR Bush is a purpous driven man who is able to give the illusion of good old boy incompetence in order to cover for his war of vengence and deep lust for power and money. The first option puts his friends in office like a rich kid buys his friends toys and takes them to Chucky Cheese veery day; it's a simple "comon and join the fun" move, along with possible fear and lonlyness. The second option is that he puts his friends in office and makes them money (and of course get's plenty of money and power from this) in order for him to have the leeway to push all the adgendas he wants and twist the nation into the place he wants it to be.
Neither of these options is a positive for Bush. Incometence has no place in Politics at all, let alone the highest office in the land, and said incompetence could lead to disasterous decisions that are unforseeable by those of us who could make the right decisionsand are no stupid. Purpousfull powermongering means that he is willing to do great damage to the country and our poltiical alliances in order to make a buck for him and his friends, and maybe piss off some liberals in the process (myself included). Either of these two options is unacceptable, and I imagine that this is why Bush's approval rates are FINALLY plummeting (who would have thought a hurricane could do what pretzels, a war of aggression, and stolen elections couldn't?). Normally I'm not all about the whole impeachment thing, but this could be a good option if he's only willing to finally start to think about maybe moving slightly on his views after all of what's happened.
