Nora Ephron's "Reflections" Bush piece on HuffPo is essential reading

[Human Torch]

Reflections on Reading the Results of President Bush's Annual Physical Examination

Try to imagine what it would be like.

They said it would be easy but it turned out to be hard.

They said everyone would love you but it turns out they don't.

They said Dick Cheney would take care of everything, but he screwed everything up.

They said, just stand next to Tony Blair and let him do the talking, but whenever he did, you looked like a moron.

They said, it would be a piece of cake, but it turned out to be a quagmire.

They said it would cost $50 billion, but it's costing $400 billion.

They said it would be good for Israel, they said slam dunk, they said dancing in the streets, they said minimal casualties.

Try to imagine what it would be like.

And then you tell me how it's possible for anyone under these conditions to have a resting heart rate of 46 beats per minute.

And yet he does. How is it possible?

1. He thinks he has done a good job and he has

for his rich constituents. What do you want the rif-raff to gain a break? He was sent to do exactly what they wanted and cheney helped.

2. Because he really doesn't have a heart.....

it's just an organ in a body owned by a person void of any feelings.

[Punkingal]

3. Narcissistic sociopath.....

He has no conscience. I would venture to guess he is one of those people who could pass a lie-detector test, too.

4. He's doing well because he has no conscience whatsoever.

[riona]

5. He's calmly waiting to be Raptured up

His "work" here is done.
