2. Both. The principles are evil, and he personifies them so well.

5. Its the principles of the principals.
All the principals of BushCo are unprincipled, and they use the capitol as their source of capital for the expansion of their eeeeeevil empire.

9. Principles ... or more exactly, lack of same.
Appetites aren't principles. The Seven Deadly Sins (Pride, Sloth, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, Lust, Greed) aren't principles.

11. It's the corporate masters which drive BushCo.
It's the amorality of the market.

13. Anti-principles
http://www.newamericancentury.org/

The Project for the New American Century is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to a few fundamental propositions: that American leadership is good both for America and for the world; and that such leadership requires military strength, diplomatic energy and commitment to moral principle.

16. We live in an empire; and Bush is our Nero
But remember, the reign of Nero was not an aberration, but the culmination, of all the crimes of past regimes. I just wonder how many liberals are willing to admit that Clinton was our calculating, sophisticated Claudius--who accrued quite the body count himself.

I fear the empire will stand long after Bush goes the way of Nixon.
