You would not want to be George W. Bush right now.
Not that you ever would anyhow, but especially not now. Indeed, there are indications that not even George W. Bush wants to be George W. Bush right now.
He can't win. America (or, more accurately, America's oligarchy) is clearly losing the war as it is. It is a fantasy to imagine that, at this late date, more troops could pacify the resistance. But even if that were so the political consequences to Bush, especially given his promise of no draft on his watch, would be devastating and rapid. American public opinion has already turned decisively against the war. Imagine if there were a draft and all the bumper-sticker patriots across the land had to actually make a sacrifice for their president's transparent lies. All hell would break loose, and the Republican Party would be dead for a generation.
In short, George W. Bush is toast, as is the whole regressive conservative movement of which he is but the most egregious exemplar. Not even another 9/11 would be likely to help him, as the security president who fails to provide security is the nothing (but simply failed) president. The demise of the right is now likely be true even if Democrats continue hurtling down their current path toward breaking all world records for political cowardice by a major party. Indeed, the worst of the Democrats may now also be in trouble amongst the base - as well they should be - for their cozy associations with the right, enabling its destructive march to the sea these last years.
This might be one of my favorite articles in months. I do sometimes wonder what is going through Bush's mind at times like this. Is he having a crisis of faith? Is he drinking again? Is he finally understanding that he screwed up? Is he listening to his handlers anymore? What does he think of his brain, Karl Rove, after so many missteps? Yep I wonder.
I wonder but I don't really give a shit! Anything that happens to George W. Bush is deserved in spades! Every pile of shit that lands on his head, is a pile of shit of his own making! He did this to the country! He did this to the government! He did this to himself! I am not a religious person but if there was indeed a God he should be making Bush's life a living hell! And according to all of the evidence it appears that he is.
