Is the honeymoon over yet?

[Philosoraptor]

After five straight years of this bullshit, is George's seemingly endless honeymoon over now? Is it o.k. to breathe a sigh of relief yet? Is it time to relax those tensed up muscles a wee bit, or is it still too soon?

Is Mr. Teflon showing signs of mortality? Will he surf out the next two and a half years and remain standing till the bitter end? Has all the glory and marketability of nine eleven finally worn off?

Is this asshole finally going down now?

All I know is, I haven't felt this giddy and hopeful in five long damn years. But I'm not going to get all excited or allow myself to be too happy, cause America is not the same place it was before the asshole came along.

Can I smile a bit now?

1. I said earlier on GW could shoot someone in the face on the WH steps and

get away with it. Damn if his vice didn't do just that. I'm just wondering how low are the repubs in congress willing to go to protect this man. I fear we have seen the low point yet.

2. maybe bush won't go?

maybe they've so damaged the commonwealth only by hanging on to power can they keep the facts hidden and themselves in silk and tennaged boys?
it wouldn't be the first time...
and the pigmedia is grunting for them almost entirely (yesterday heard a report that '62 percent' of americans support bush's nsa spying, think it's ok and necessary in the fight against terrism...)
your OP focuses too much on the symptom (bush) and not the problem (the ted bundy like media) a focus which the pigmedia hopes to envourage

3. Don't get too comfortable, this snake isn't dead yet

It could still swing around and bite us in the ass, even though it is mortally wounded.
Now is the time to step up the pressure against the evil empire, we can not rest until it is completely eradicated.

4. Their instinct is to turn right

Any time they've had the opportunity to come down from their psychotic perch
to meet with the public, they've chosen the path of further psychosis, war
and repression... expect more.

They need a war so badly right now, its not even funny. I bet bush has sent
a letter in secret to his al queda buddies telling them the best times and
places when his cronys will be looking the other way... as republicans have proven,
national defense is partisan... they'll probably target a dem-area.

5. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed

"He was thinking about invading Iraq in 1999," said author and journalist Mickey Herskowitz. "It was on his mind. He said to me:

'One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief.' And he said, 'My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it.' He said, 'If I have a chance to invade - if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful presidency."

(...)

In 1999, Herskowitz struck a deal with the campaign of George W. Bush about a ghost- written autobiography, which was ultimately titled A Charge to Keep : My Journey to the White House, and he and Bush signed a contract in which the two would split the proceeds. The publisher was William Morrow. Herskowitz was given unimpeded access to Bush, and the two met approximately 20 times so Bush could share his thoughts. Herskowitz began working on the book in May, 1999, and says that within two months he had completed and submitted some 10 chapters, with a remaining 4-6 chapters still on his computer. Herskowitz was replaced as Bush's ghostwriter after Bush's handlers concluded that the candidate's views and life experiences were not being cast in a sufficiently positive light.

6. Hardly he is a man who thinks God put him there

He has done what no one thought he would and will keep it up. He, I am sure, thinks he was called to 'greatness' and that means he is right bout the things he plans and does.
