I mean, it's given you powers and abilities far beyond those of other presidents before you, and changed the american political landscape forever, do you think you'd have been this wildly successful without the obvious advantage 9/11 has given you?

1. Mr. President, do you think you' be where you are today without....
...brother Jeb and Katherine Harris stealing those Florida votes, Pappy Bush's corrupt and powerful pals and the f**king Supreme Court Justices who circumvented the will of the people in 2000?

Edited on Thu Jun-16-05 06:45 AM by kiki
...it's like when superheroes get their powers from some freak accident.

'But suddenly, as mild-mannered alcoholic George inhales the radioactive 9/11 dust...'

"What the...? My... my approval ratings... growing to superhuman size...!"

"From this day on I shall call myself WarPresidentMan! And I shall use my powers only for greed, corruption and the un-American way!"

3. Tell me Christ how you feel tonight.
Do you plan to put up a fight?
Do you feel that you've had the breaks?
What would you say were your big mistakes?
Do you think that you may retire?
Did you think you would get much higher?
How do you view your coming trial?
Have your men proved at all worth while?

4. I was saying on 9/12: That was the best thing that ever happened to him.
And I was proven right.

8. History will not be kind to Chimperor Link
Once again, I challenge ANY lurker to please, PLEASE name ONE right thing this simian has done. ONE. JUST ONE. And when I say "right", I mean something that genuinely, without reciprocation (like that "tax relief" BS), helps the rank and file and their kids, just like you and me.

"Morals", "Values", "Character", "Strong", "Leader" are empty superficialities that aren't really indicative of timeline events and achievements that pedestals a presidency. People are going to want actual meat-and-potatoes accomplishments, and historians are going to be hard-pressed to FIND any that did SOMEthing for those not making half-a-mil a year or more.
