Reply #77: I agree with you on the Bush smarts statement

He is much smarter than people realize, and he plays the DC game well-I think entirely to his fathers credit. I still believe this will come down to Cheney vs Bush-with each trying to get to Obama first (each in a different way-Bush will bring him into the inner sanctum, Cheney will challenge him and try to make him misstep). Cheney's first big mistake was dissing Powell and sucking him into this. From here-it's nothing but downhill for Cheney. I do know that I'm saving 20 bucks a week for the trip to the Hague to watch the trial. It's what I'm living for.
