Keith Olbermann talks to Dubya
About being a man. (not work-safe.)
I swear to God, "To help us. Not to fuck us up. " needs to go right into the Oath of Office.
Right after the "Preserve, Protect and Defend..." bit.
Maybe then even Rightards would understand.

Olbermann said it all. It's a particularly narcissistic and obsessive-compulsive psychopathology of George W. Bush's that he takes it for granted that his ego takes precedence over reality, not just even when but especially when more capable people are trying to counsel him otherwise so that the fortunes of the Republican Party don't end up a total smoldering ruin forever. (Sorry, my sentences get really, really long and convoluted when I'm spluttering with utter moral outrage.) That he might end up getting his mean-spirited rich-kid way in this even when so many people both in power and on the street recognize what a bad idea the escalation is, really drives home the fact that the office of president has acquired way, way too much power in our system. And somebody should really kick that shitstain Harry Ried in the balls for even considering enabling this fucktard insanity any further. If the attack on Iran should happen, Goddess forbid, perhaps it will be time to revamp our beloved Constitution so that the increasingly imperial presidency is replaced with a more accountable consulate of some kind.
SIGH! {plunk}
Well, the Constitution does have that balance already. It's just that the Codpiece in Chief is too busy wiping his ass on it, and the Rubber Stamp Congress was too busy not calling him on it.
We've been in a constitutional crisis for six years, ever since Bush v. Gore, and all that time he's been daring anybody, anybody at all to make an issue of it, to call his bluff.
I think Steve Gilliard has the right of it: Bush is going to fold the first time he gets called, 'cause he's got nothing.
But they won't understand. They are hardwired not to understand. I'd have better luck teaching my cat to do laundry, but that won't happen either. And he's a really really smart kitty.
No, we should just be thrilled that they go poop in the box. Expect no more and spare ourselves the disappointment.
Same goes for Republicans. Expect they'll shit on the Constitution whenever they're in a position to and then make it our duty (no pun...) to make sure they never squat near it ever, ever again.
