It's finally Wizard of Oz time in America. You know -- that moment when the curtains are pulled back, the fearsome-looking wizard wreathed in all that billowing smoke turns out to be some pitiful little guy, and everybody looks around sheepishly, wondering why they acted as they did for so long.

we called them bullies. Come to think of it, I guess we still do. I've never seen so many of them at one time. Get `em, Toto!

2. The curtain removed and all we get is a sniveling widdle boy lost in a

pile of schmidt.....poor Bush, he will be known for his pointy ears and nothing in between.
