Is it just me or does anyone else sense great bumbling out of 1600 Penn?

[Montauk6]

Am I blinded by partisan nostalgia or did it seem like, even with the Starr Chamber breathing down its neck, looking to turn the slightest nose pick into a major target for investigation, the Big Dog Administration continued running smoothly, missing nary a beat?

1. If 911 had not happened

I think we would have seen this in October, 2001.

[Montauk6]

3. That's right... MCI, Enron, Cheney's closed-door energy meetings...

[Der Blaue Engel]

6. Yes

Absolutely.

[hippiechick]

2. That's because BigDog wasn't a crack addled, ADHD alcoholic ...

.... :evilgrin:

4. Bill was never in this kind of trouble.

He wasn't perfect, but he still had 65% of the American people behind him, hadn't negligently killed thousands of Americans, or done dirty by trying to destroy and scapegoat the intelligence community.

Bumbling isn't the word for it.

7. Bill

held it together during a full impeachment trial, for heaven's sake!!!! Now THAT is character.

I don't care about hanky panky with the chubbette under the desk.

11. Bill will be remembered as a very, very good President. Particularly,

in light of what followed.

Makes us all appreciate that there really is a difference between the two parties. So, we have to thank Bush for making the contrast clear.

[Montauk6]

9. But (I grit my teeth angrily as I type this) he WAS impeached

Bushco is, AT THE MOMENT, nowhere near this area.

(I do hope this changes, dontcha know)

[leveymg]

13. That reflects the corruption of One Party systems.

His impeachment was a blemish on a record of great accomplishments.

He really should have just said, "I will not talk about this incident with anyone outside my family. Period. I refuse to testify on the subject of Ms. Lewinsky - now, you can hold me in contempt, but that's the last I have to say."

That would have been the end of it.

5. House of cards

not hard to bring down. It only took one small nudge. Schiavo.

[sendero]

8. There is an outbreak of Fitzitis..

... and they are all trying desparately to find a vaccine.

[Montauk6]

10. A little indigestion from the Fitzmas turkey?

[aldian159]

12. These guys are missing everything

They are off their game, to be sure. They couldn't find their ass with both hands right now, and it shows.

Everything the White House touches is turning to shit. From the Bush speech yesterday at the Economic Club, to the indictments, to anything else, these people are bumbling morons.

[butterfly77]

14. They upped his dosage on the meds

not he's more arrogant than ever.
