7. I started a thread last week along those lines |
|
I wondered aloud what a Bushco admin. (and Bush himself) would behave like with Rove gone.
It would have to lead to all sorts of bizarre happenings. There wouldn't be an Evil Genius pattern to the behavior anymore. And Bush is not stable or smart enough to go it alone. All sorts of really unexpected, confused, flailing and possibly scary actions would ensue.
However, while it fascinates _me_, all I got was 3 quick, dismissive replies. "Nothing would change", "it will all be the same" etc.
I assure you, A Bushco admin. without Rove would be a VERY unstable concoction. Scary in new, different ways. But, fortunately, probably far less effective.
But the SAME?!? Not a chance in heck. :dilemma:

These bastards always seem to have a replacement in the wings. I remember when Atwater died, supposedly the pukes were going to be crippled without his strategys. And frankly, untill I see Rove pulled out of the WH or marched out, I ain't gonna believe that he is going to be gone. Too often in this administration have criminals gone unpunished, even rewarded.

21. But never before has there been a pres. with such weak.... |
|
....character who is also so personally dependent on one specific man.
It's the personal aspect that I think makes this all so very different of a situation.

22. It certainly is a test of the "legendary" Bush loyalty. |
|
Poppy fired KKKarl but as you say, Jr. is weak. He needs KKKarl. If he does go, my guess is he'll bring back Karen Hughes to be his pit bull. (Yeah, I know -- that's an insult to pit bulls.)

6. Fire Cheney, then resign. That put's Hastert in line for the Prez |
|
and when DeLay goes to jail, Hastert will be as helpless as Bush without Rove.

Sounds of Silence Simon and Garfunkel
"Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you" But my words, like silent raindrops fell And echoed In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls" And whispered in the sounds of silence"
Will the people listen to what he is saying? Nope, I don't think so. Think of Gary Trudeau as a modern day prophet.
The people KNOW Bu$h lied, they KNOW the war was unnessesary, they KNOW many thousands of innocent Iraqi have died, they KNOW our own children have died fighting this war, they KNOW we are no safer now from terrorism than before, they KNOW many over a million service people have been put in harms way.
But they don't care.

15. I think that you are exactly right, Jose Diablo. |
|
For the longest time, I felt that people just couldn't see the truth. Now I feel that there may still be some like that, but there are many more who just don't have the ability to feel empathy towards anyone who is not someone that they know personally.
It's just too abstract a concept that over a hundred thousand innocent Iraqi civilians have been killed. If they knew even one of them personally, maybe it would make a difference.
People mostly care about their own day-to-day lives not being adversely impacted. B* has not asked anything of United States citizens except to turn a blind eye to the things that his administration is doing. We'll be paying for this for a long time in many, many ways, but so far, for the most part, everyday people haven't felt any pain associated with the thing that B*'s doing. Therefore, they don't give a damn.
If there's such a thing as national karma, we have earned quite a bit of bad karma.

18. Trudeau is his last name, I believe. |

Gary Larson did another cartoon. Can't think of the name. Did he do The Far Side?
