OMG. It just dawned on me, we could have a deranged lame-duck

[bigpathpaul]

in the Oval Office. That is very scary!

1. I believe the military has a contingency plan

for just that problem - I sincerely hope so anyway/

[gristy]

2. And a lame-duck bush would be worse than what we have now...

how?

[xrepub]

22. He hasn't nuked anyone yet

[MazeRat7]

3. Na... he'll take a vacation. (n/t)

[carpetbagger]

14. I agree.

George Bush is a petty little man. He's already rewritten as much policy as he can to support his benefactors. He will pack for Crawford and do nothing more.

The only practical effect of this passive-aggression will be to allow Iraq to slip into total chaos, making Kerry's job, not to mention that of our military, much, much more difficult.

[LiberalFighter]

23. He will pack for Crawford and get hammered.

[napi21]

4. There's very little he can do with executive order that can't be

immediately reversed on Jan 20th. He can grant pardons, but since Lay hasn't been convicted, there's no problem there.

I doubt he can do too much really traumatic that can't be quickly fixed.

[mongo]

5. Except he has his finger on the button

and could decide it is in the US interest to nuke N Korea, or Iran....

[napi21]

8. Yea, he could, but I doubt he would.

[Mizmoon]

11. When Nixon was in freefall

someone, I forget who, told the military to clear any "unusual orders" before acting. There was a real fear that Dick might try to take the whoel world out with him. These things are being watched.

[No2W2004]

15. That was Kissinger.

One of the few good things he ever did. Who would do this in Shrubco?

Rumsfeld? Rice? Wolfowitz?

[wildflower]

7. Speaking of Lay...

Martha Stewart's in jail. He's not. I just don't get it.

-wildflower

[napi21]

10. Lay is a much more difficult case.

There's not many people who want this AH to be behind bars for a very long time than I do. I'm an accountant, and I feel this idiot destroyed everything I strived for in the 40 years I've worked. I've lost 2 jobs because I wouldn't give in to these greedy AH's. But you need to understand these guys are very clever, and the prosecutors have to get whitnesses and documents that will convince a non-professional jury to understand an accept.

Sorry to say, Martha was just dumb. She did things she shouldn't have done, didn't invoke the 5th before congress, and the prosecutors proved she should have known better because she was a former stock broker. She really should have know better.

[punpirate]

16. People can be pardoned for future events...

... that's how Gerald Ford got the job--he guaranteed he would pardon Richard Nixon, which he did shortly after being sworn in (for the good of the country, of course). At the time, Nixon had not been charged with anything, nor had impeachment proceedings formally begun.

I think we can expect to see a very long list of pardons from Bush--he's surrounded by criminals. Birds of a feather....

edit for syntax.

[LiberalFighter]

24. Nixon wasn't convicted and he was pardoned

[Tansy_Gold]

6. My greatest fear is that boosh and the rest of the BFEE

will not take defeat well, they will foment a civil war, and all those newly-legal assault weapons will be in the hands of fanatic rightwingers.

Call me a doomsayer if you will. I readily admit I'm one of those "prepare for the worst, hope for the best" types. But there are some people out there who are soooooooooo pro-boosh, anti-freedom that I fear what will happen on Nov. 3rd.

Tansy Gold, who is planning to leave on a major road trip at 9 a.m. the day after the election. . . . .

[delete_bush]

9. Naw, we'd just send

in the national guard to restore the peace. Whoops, I forget, they're not here.

[napi21]

12. Oh com-on.. The pubs said the same things about Clinton.

I remember then saying he'll start a war so he doesn't have to leave office, etc. Sure they don't want to lose power, but I think you're being a bit irrational with your suspicion.

[jfxgillis]

13. In a very counter-intuitive way, that might be best for getting out

of Iraq.

Think it through step-by-step.

[Mz Pip]

17. Didn't George Sr.

leave a mess in Somalia for Clinton to deal with? It wouldn't surprise me at all for Bush to make matters worse somewhere just out of spite. He's such a mean spirited nasty little man. He's like the kid who will break his little brother's toy because he can't play with it.

I would hope there would be someone in the administration to stop him but I fear that most are worse than he. The dark lord will not got quietly into the night either.

[spanone]

We already have a deranged lame-ass president

[spanone]

18. dupe

[cheshire]

19. I think we already do but I worry about them pulling up the toilet,

painting swasticas on the walls, and putting fists thru the walls. Just like PWT(poor white trash). Don't get pissed I am one step above PWT myself.

[gauguin57]

20. He'll pardon Charles Manson ...

... and sentence Martha Stewart to the death penalty.

[Technowitch]

21. Better a lame duck now than four years from now

Assuming, of course, they hadn't so thoroughly gutted the Constitution that further elections were either cancelled or utterly moot.

[Lovecrafty]

25. I'm printing out copies of that ad as we speak...

...gonna mail them to every Republican I know at work tommorow! I'm going to mass email them across the company network (from a different terminal and account of course!). I'm going to put them on the windsheilds of every SUV in the parking lot of Wal-Mart with a Bush/Cheney bumber sticker. I'm going to tack them on the bulletin boards at college, the library, and work. I'm even going to put them randomly underneath the newspapers that lay in peoples yards in the night! And on one occassion, I'm going to staple one directly onto the Bush/Cheny yardsign of a particularly large asshole Republican I've known for years!

Printer getting low on ink...gotta get another cartridge...headed for Wal-Mart now...

[bigpathpaul]

26. I don't know you, but I love you.

Glad you like it. I think it cuts to the heart of the matter, if I do say so myself.
