- A GOP double-standard? “It’s easier to ask Larry Craig to resign because he’d be replaced by a Republican.“
- Bush is now hinting towards troop withdrawals. Bush must have received an advance copy of Petraeus’ thesis statement.
- A startup is inventing an electric car that would allow “a motorist [to] plug in a car for five minutes and drive 500 miles roundtrip between Dallas and Houston without gasoline.” But what about restroom stops?
- The fateful Supreme Court decision was so illogical that “Justice David Souter nearly resigned in the wake of Bush v. Gore, so distraught was he over the decision that effectively ended the Florida recount and installed George W. Bush as president.” I still can’t sleep at night.
- And the surge has failed. “At best, analysts, military officers and ordinary Iraqis portray the country as in a holding pattern, dependent on U.S. troops to keep the lid on violence.“

It’s comforting to know that at least one Supreme Court justice has a conscience about the disaster that happened in 2000.
As for Iraq, Bush is dropping these news tidbits about how we might start redeploying troops there simply as a stall tactic to keep his numerous critics quiet. He’s buying himself time so that he can continue the “surge” if he gets the SLIGHTEST favorable indication from Gen. Petraeus, other military officers, the Iraqi government, or even a hummus vendor in Kirkuk that anything is getting better. Obviously, Bush really meant it when he said that this mess would be the next president’s mess to clean up.

Hummus vendors, the wisest of the Bush advisers.
