One way or another Bush
is going down. My husband's take: ( I had to share)

This administration will be in its dying throes for three years, in a gruesome yet somehow thrilling spectacle of agonizing defeat.

Is everyone agreed? The cat is out of the bag. He's not going back in. (this is my also pick myself up in the unthinkable chance that there are no indictments)

1. It's been a long time coming, way overdue.

3. I think he will make a comback-appoint new blood like Reagan did.
recall Reagens poll numbers were in the 20's in the second term-he hired Baker to sort things out and walla--people bow to him.

4. The malAdministration response (or lack of) to Katrina sealed their fate.
Only those with Kool Aide in their veins instead of blood didn't get a good glimpse of the beast during that week. The vacationing pResident, hiding VP and shopping Sec of State showed their real colors for all to see. The bumbling and whining of appointed cronies just put a bow on the package.

Since that week, most people have been seeing the criminals a bit more clearly. And the fact that reporters on the ground in NOLA would not stick to the corporate media script blew the lid off media complicity with keeping the junta looking acceptable to the public.

I think there should be a new deity in the pantheon of any American polytheists: Ladies and Gentlemen, I give thanks to Katrina, the American goddess of Devastation and Truth Telling. She brought terrible horror but shed light on the greater horror of the inhumanity of our leaders. She pulled the curtain aside for the people and helped the blind see.

5. That was nicely put
I think it was Katrina. The end. Show over. Those images are never going to leave our minds. Any American with blood in their veins indeed. It looked like our country was as poor and helpless and LEADERLESS as Bangladesh. It's the ultimate legacy of Bush's failure-even as much as anything else may fail worse in the future or fair in the future with Iraq say, that was America..an American city and it happened here.

6. I agree
No matter how hard they tried to rewrite what happened, it didn't work. There were just too many days of viewing horrible footage of people suffering and dying, while Dear Leader did nothing. Then when it was all over, his classic slacker defense of "but it wasn't my job" didn't exactly rehabilitate his image.

No matter where they are on the political spectrum, most people at some level were thinking "I pay taxes in order to not have to see the bodies of my fellow Americans lying in the streets for days after a natural disaster."

7. I think he'll dump Cheney, bring in a new star, and wing it
As bad as it looks right now, Bush could still wiggle out of this. He lets Cheney resign, he pardons everyone so the country can "get on" with it, and he appoints a new VP like George Allen.

9. Libby....Cheney. Rove...
Bush?

I don't see how, if the other three go down, Bush manages not resigning himself. :shrug:

10. Yeah, he's going down, but he's taking the country with him.
Everything this fraud has touched has turned to shit. Unfortunately the pain falls on others and never on him.
