[MnFats]

also:
"Now that I have the will of the people at my back."
what happened to that line?
replaced by 'Karl, get me the fuck out of here?"

He is so far overdrawn

that when they finally open the debtor's prisons, he'll have to be first in line!

:evilgrin:

1. I'm sorry Mr. Bush

but your account is overdrawn.

[RevCheesehead]

2. That fund was diverted to Homeland Security.

That's why he wants to raid Social Security, too.

[CanOfWhoopAss]

3. His mouth writes checks his @$$ can't cash

4. Hmm..

Y'see.. this gal named Katrina came along and pickpocketed 'em.. ya see? That's why he has no more political capital.

Yeah.. that's the ticket!

5. i might be too idealistic, or something

but bush never having been elected in 2k says he never had any 'political capital'....and therefore has been like a donut w/out any do! history MAY BE replete with examples of oppressive regimes that use violent force to run their societies, but 'supposedly' the USA had a different logic, and it was the logic that made sense....what's amazing in the whole bush extravanganza is that noone, as he's now noon, seems to be conscious that, if your basic building block (a real mandate) is missing, your tower might be a bit wobbly....

6. that sounds about right, he's been a bully puppet from the git-go....

and whatever he has he's begat through brow-beating & there's no "capital" in that

[applegrove]

7. It wasn't political capital it was Fear in the bank after 9/11. And the

bank was empty by August.

I don't think Bush is enough of a s. to purposely allow lawlessness to cycle - but some of the people around him are just nuts enough to want that..and to give him bad advice so they could get it.

Now his bank is filled with fear!

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. I don't recall him saying

he was gonna spend it on the people who need it.

[rooboy]

9. He only had enough saved up for a rainy day... and now it's gone. n/t

[ThoughtCriminal]

10. Like all deficit spending

our children and grandchildren will have to pay for it - with interest.

11. Hello, My Bush

this is Political Capital One calling. Did you know you were late with your payments? Well, because of your oversite 1000s have died, do we need to send in the Capital One hoards?
