'Here's what oughta happen on Thursday while Bush is taking the oath of office, which says, in case we need to be reminded, "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me God" (What a wonderful exit clause, "to the best of my ability"). There, above Bush and (perhaps) the decrepit, hunched shadow of William Rehnquist, with the Capitol behind him, there oughta be giant plasma screens broadcasting live from Fallujah, from Haiti, and from downtown D.C., so that we can see all the cake eaters everywhere, down on their hands and knees, begging, digging through rubble, killing for food. Bush won't even need to speak. Bush could just point up at the screens and say, "Lookee there, motherfuckers." Then we'll know what to expect for the next four years.'

...Guy on C2C last night made the logical prediction that Bush will be having some "political (and other) difficulties" over the next 4 years.

Get tangled up in his own spurs.Made to ride his own bull... it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
It wouldn't happen to a smarter guy.

Karma gods.
I watched Senator John Kerry try to wring some truth out of Condoleeza Rice today on CSPAN. She said the administration is satisfied with the assessment provided by the Iraqi election officials. He said "What information was provided?"
She said that no information has been provided.
He asked, "How can you be satisfied with the information if it wasn't provided?"
She said, "We're satisfied with what we know"...
That translates to "we're happy with what we want to believe is happening."
and if that pacifies anybody, I'm almost embarrassed for them. But not quite.
In a democracy, people generally get the kind of government they deserve.
