President Bush, having decided that a left turn is out of the question and that a right turn would only make his poll numbers worse, has done the unthinkable: he’s settled on a U-turn. Politicians rarely do this. It’s often a highly dangerous thing to do while driving. But then politicians of Mr. Bush’s ilk are exceedingly rare and they are known to play by different rules.
It is unknown whether Mr. Bush intends to use his blinkers or check his blind spots. Political pundits are still trying to figure out if this will be a three-point turn or quite possibly one of those daring 180s you see large sports utility vehicles perform in four-stop intersections, nearly taking out the innocuous sedans politely waiting their turn to cross. Nobody knows the make of the vehicle that Mr. Bush will use, or whether this vehicle is a hybrid or equipped with GPS, or whether this vehicle’s special features have any bearing on Mr. Bush’s decision to make a U-turn.
What we do know is that he has at least “prepared” a U-turn. The U-turn might be next week or next month. It could be tomorrow. But it will almost certainly be reconsidered after November, depending upon how things turn out.
I wish he would just exit already!
Of course it would have to be after November, and not include the part where Bush arogates monarchial power unto the Presidency (see you in Guantanamo, Ed).
Meanwhile, Our Boys (and Girls) kill and die in Iraq in the name of a strategery and a cause that even the Bush gang, if the Independent is to be believed (which it sometimes is not), has realized is bogus, even as the Republicans campaign on “stay the course” and veiled (or not) accusations of treason and appeasement.
Oh well, I’m sure OB&G would pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of a Republcan congressional majority.
God, I hate these bastards that have hijacked our country.
Thank god for the “exceedingly rare” aspect.
Could someone please pen him in with some of those cement road barriers, or maybe put down a spike strip and disable his tires? !
