George Bush is not the President of the United States.

[FightingIrish]

For most of us he never was. A fateful few days in the Gulf Coast has damaged the illusion of his presidency beyond any hope of Rovian restoration. The myth of “President Bush” was finally blown away by a Category 4 hurricane and a Category 5 fuck up.

He will no doubt continue the charade for a time, but his entreaties to cut more taxes, suck it up and go shopping will go over like dirty jokes in a sermon. His legacy is fixed in the grisly images of Katrina’s hapless victims and the lame excuses of his incompetent political appointees. We won’t forget his victims in Iraq, but this will be the abuse of trust that will mark his presidency.

He should return to the White House, dog in hand, and await the decision of an enraged nation. No more sales trips, no more banners and no more phony dialogues with America. The Bush agenda has gone to the bottom of the bayou. Hopefully the decision to terminate his disastrous presidency will come swiftly and with near unanimity. Cheney’s dereliction of duty will have to be punished in a similar fashion once he is found. We have some really hard work ahead and a real president will be sorely needed. I think we can work this out.

6. * will probably use "Alice In Wonderland" logic for impeachment:

You can't impeach someone who wasn't elected to office (remember, he was installed).
