Judging by George W. Bush's behavior for eight years, one assumes that when he says "political process," he means representative democracy. He did not feel obliged to tell the truth about the reasons for invading Iraq. He routinely regarded the Constitution as an obstacle to be ignored in pursuit of conservative ideology. Even being interviewed by his sister, he manages to come off as pathetic, a buffoon and a clown. It is a fault of our system that we have no mechanism for jerking an asshole off the stage in the same manner as stage hooks were used to yank losers from the stage in vaudeville.

Ace point, Tiggers. I should have added that what is needed is some kind of hook less involved and impossible to achieve than impeachment--something more along the lines of a vote of no confidence that is the feature of parliamentary systems. Bush should have been yanked when it first became clear that he lied to us about the so-called "solid intelligence" about WMD. The offenses for which he should have been given the hook is far, far to long to list here. There are so many it makes one want to puke.

Is it possible that he didn't sell his soul because he didn't have one to sell? Or was that just Cheney?

I'm enjoying watching Bush realize that his legacy does matter to him. He always said it didn't but obviously he woke up after the election and realized he isn't going to be president much longer and it matters to him after all - he's been talking about it ever since.

Too late, Commander Coocoo. You will go down in history as the most hated president and the most incompetent president ever!
