YOU CAN'T SUBPOENA ME I'M THE PRESIDENT

Meh. Bush is a lame duck now and he knows it. He truly has little incentive to cooperate with or capitulate to both Congress and the American people.

He's acquired his two terms. He bullied his way into Iraq, served in the President's seat while Saddam Hussein was deposed, arrested, tried and put to death. He basically finished his daddy's war. He lasted twice as long in the job as daddy, too. That's gonna be a witty rejoinder at the next family dinner!

The current situation in Iraq, that's not really his problem anymore. All Bush has to do is maintain the status quo. Don't push too many soldiers in, don't pull too many out. If the liberals want to bring the troops home, they can do it when they have a candidate in the White House. Hussein was toppled. The war against terror was waged. Surely history will vindicate Bush as a bold man of action!

No, all Bush needs to do now is wait. Let his detractors stomp around and shout big words. Big words never prevented Bush from doing what needed to be done. Big words won't oust him from the Presidency now. There's no need to worry about solving crises before 2009. If someone else wants the job so badly, then they'll have to take on the burdens that come with the position.

Yup. Bush's executive pension is assured. Come January 1st, 2009, his life will be a leisurely series of library dedications, charity dinners and paid speeches. Maybe he'll play some more golf and frown in a concerned manner as his limousine drives by some homeless people. All while enjoying the vast family oil fortunes. Yup, life sure is good for ol' G. Dubya.

So what if he obstructs Congressional hearings? So what if he makes a mockery of the very purpose of executive privelege? He's got no sway over Congress and he's disliked more than ever by anyone who doesn't have a Bible shoved up his or her ass. Fuck 'em all. Don't you get it? GEORGE W. BEAT SUDDAM HUSSEIN. No president before even came close. If the man who beat Saddam wants to keep a few documents secret, who are we to argue? SUDDAM FUCKING HUSSEIN, MAN.

Anyone who wants to remove a hero like G.W. Bush over a few, miscellaneous papers is simply unamerican! You'd expect that kind of thing from the British or maybe those worrywart Frenchies. Questioning our leaders is like questioning the flag - you just don't do it! By refusing to kowtow to those guttersnipes in Congress, Bush is sending the message, loud and clear, that good, old, American pride is alive and well in the Oval Office!

Let's see a Democrat weild a pair of testicles like that!


God, Bush is a twat.

Most amazing jew boots

But wasn't this essentially the same logic used by Republicans when they impeached Clinton in 1998?

(Fuck me, I'm old. That shit was nearly a decade ago?)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Shoplifting is illegal. It doesn't matter if the culprit is apprehended and convicted. The act itself is condemnable under United States law. A person who steals is a thief, regardless of their police record.

Saying that Bush is innocent of obstruction and contempt of Congress is only a technicality, in that he hasn't actually been convicted. But this does not cancel the act itself. He is still prosecutable.

I remember when Bill Clinton was being interrogated. The Republicans bitched and moaned for weeks when Bill said "Define "Is.""

Nearly a decade later, Republicans are saying "Define "Guilty.""

Oh, sweet irony.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
