Question: Do we think George Bush is, you know, working anymore? There's no visible sense that he's doing anything beyond the ceremonial stuff, welcoming this or that pimply teenage assemblage to investigative the White House Christmas trimmings. It appears he's mostly dreaming of the day he can get down to Texas and start swinging that driver again.
Can we take two more months of this? The DJIA keeps losing 3% (or more) a day! The bailout money is being misspent and no one from the administration has been cracking the whip on the banks.
It's almost enough to make one suspect sabotage -- just let things get as crappy as possible for the black guy. It's all got some folks I know wondering if the inauguration can be moved up so that people who will actually try something will be in charge. The answer is no, incidentally. But you'd think there would be some element of self-interest at work here for Bush, or maybe he just doesn't give a f#*@ anymore.
