Bush is starting to act Nixonesque

[ncteechur]

towards the end. People jumping ship.

In his mind, fiction replaces reality.

Grasping at any straw to save him.

His nomination of Meirs is simply his version of the Saturday Night Massacre when Nixon fired Richardson for not firing the independent prosecutor. He can't do that so he figures he will place his #1 crony in a position to rescue his tail if he should need it.

1. It's about time to pull out those plans for a manned flight to Mars!

[twaddler01]

4. Canada might be an alternative...

But, I prefer to battle this all the way to the end...I am not gonna let BushCo get away with this crap! :mad:

We need ALL the Democrats to destry BushCo (and we CAN win this fight).... :thumbsup:

22. Mars would be a good place for His Chimperial Majesty

not much damage he could do there.

[Sgent]

2. Don't see why he can't

Fitzgerald has the same authority as the Nixon prosecutor -- there is no independent prosecutor law like Ken Starr operated under.

In addition, Nixon was facing a Democratic congress, which may allow our current idiot in chief to get away with more.

[MichiganVote]

3. I hear a Cheney step down coming

[ncteechur]

5. Think about all the parallels between this admin and Nixon's

The only difference is that Nixon didn't actually begin the Vietnam War. Of course, I guess you could argue that the years leading up to shrub's Iraq war were sort of a police state with the no-fly zones and inspectors, etc. He escalates it.

Creates a huge divide in the country.

Of course, this time the anger is not directed at the troops.

VP could be indicted over Plamegate--

Thinks he can do foreign policy. Condi looks like Kissinger.

On and On and On and On

[SledDriver]

6. In his veins, booze replaces blood.

Grasping at any straw to do another line...

7. I read at Kos that Miers was Card's pick.

Is Card stepping in for Rove? And is he as incompetent as the rest of the gang?

(Sorry, don't have a link, but I'm pretty sure it was in a diary at Kos earlier today.)

[marions ghost]

8. and KKKarl ...

isn't he supposed to be overseeing the post-Katrina reconstruction?
WTF was that strange blip on the national radar? Seems Rove might not be up to that task.

[Lisa]

9. and when the time comes for him to board that helicopter ...

... he will yell, "I am not a cook!", forget to duck when entering, and knock himself silly on the doorframe.

[ncteechur]

15. as he holds that fake-ass Thanksgiving Turkey.

10. True, but I don't see this as a source of optimism.

The Nixon debacle was only a minor setback for the GOP. Just a few years later they answered with a two-term extremist president.

Just because it's becoming increasingly transparent that Bush is a goof doesn't mean our country is poised to make a big jump forward. Bush is a symptom, not the disease. So long as conservative ideology has a grip on the national mindset, it doesn't really matter what Bush's poll numbers are. The next guy will be just as bad.

We shouldn't set the bar so low.

11. Don't worry. God will tell him what to do.

[texpatriot2004]

20. Oh for crying out loud, God's not talking to those idiots. nm

Remember me, "for crying out loud" is underrated and your duck is still an easy target.

[Crazy Chester]

12. I wonder if he's talking to the pictures on the wall yet.

[gristy]

14. Could be, could be...

And welcome to DU, Chester! :hi:

on edit: added :hi:

[ncteechur]

17. "I talk to Gawd! Hee Hee. Fight em there! Gawd"

[newyawker99]

21. Hi Crazy Chester!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Captain Hilts]

13. "Starting?" nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. Taht was my question STARTING?

He has been acting like this for at least two years... it is just getting worst and more obvious

[ReadTomPaine]

26. Heh. I'm with you.

Only he's a good deal worse than Nixon, as many have said here over the years.

[bobmarley]

16. I agree

also why did he hire a defense attorney some time ago?

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

19. Must be confusing to some of them, cause they are doing the same

basic thing they've been doing all along.

More and more people are on to them, while they're still yelling at everyone, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtains!"

[many a good man]

24. Roberts will preside over the impeachment trial

Judge Philippe KIRSCH (Canada) will preside in The Hague.

Miers will provide legal counsel and bloody cucumber sammitches....

[Independent_Liberal]

25. "I'm not a traitor!"

I'm waiting for him to say that.
