Never trust a computer you can't throw out a window - Steve Wozniak

Bush in One Paragraph

by Lee

This sounds about right.

We now have a clear and simple illustration of the arrogance of this president. Tell the American people the core narrative of this monarchical presidency: this president believes he is above the law in wiretapping citizens with no court oversight; he has innovated an explosive use of signing statements to declare himself above the law on a bewildering array of other matters, large and small; he has unilaterally declared himself above American law, international law, and U.N. Treaty obligations in secretly authorizing torture; he has claimed the right to seize anyone in the United States, detain them indefinitely without trial and torture them; his vice-president refuses to abide by the law that mandates securing classified documents; and when a court of law finds a friend of the president’s guilty, he commutes the sentence.

The Bush legacy, ladies and gentlemen.  There isn’t time for Bush to accomplish anything else during his time in office, except maybe try to get something done in Iraq.  I wouldn’t count on anything different happening there.  I think Bush will keep troops in Iraq at their current levels or greater until it’s time for him to leave, hoping against hope that Petraeus can pull off a hail mary pass and end up with something that can be called a win.  Because, frankly, Bush ain’t got nothin’ else.
