George Bush is no Teddy Roosevelt

[stilts]

Another great smackdown from my favorite writer.

On Saturday when George Bush admitted that he had authorized extra-judicial wiretapping of citizen phone calls, and said he would do it again, he had just lost the vote on the Patriot Act and was standing in front of a portrait of Teddy Roosevelt on a rearing stallion. That's because one of his go-to cards is being defiant.

But George Bush is no Teddy Roosevelt. For starters, Teddy Roosevelt made several national parks. George Bush is trying to sell them.

No, George Bush is no Teddy Roosevelt. He's really the Jack Nicholson character in "A Few Good Men," minus the military service. You remember - the guy on the wall? Well, fine, we need a guy on the wall. But not when the guy on the wall is a President who, like the Nicholson character, loses it when cornered. When asked by a prosecutor why he did an end-run around the law, the guy blows up: "Because you can't handle the truth, that's why!"

1. More like Herbie Hoover

He has no qualities that endear him to any other president past his daddy and Herbie.
I suppose Nixon qualities fit in there somewhere with all the spying going on.

He's not a James Buchanan, either.

Or a James K. Polk, for that matter!
