Bush is Still Pushing Bolton: Does He Just Not Get It? Still?

[leftyladyfrommo]

This is just amazing to me. Does he just not understand what has happened to him and his minions? Does he think he can just continue on like always, doing whatever the hell he feels like?

I was amazed when he said he thought that they would do all right. Can anyone be that out of touch? Or is it just true that he never reads a newspaper or watches the news - just waits for Rover to tell him what is happeneing?

We may have to impeach him just to get him out of the way. Just because he is just plain mentally gone.

1. He gets it.

He just doesn't care.

[leftyladyfrommo]

3. I find that unbelievable!

Are he and Cheney just going to go on about their business like nothing has happened? Just Laura and dog behind them?

Whoa - talk about Blind Ambition.

If they are really that nuts they need to get knocked out.

14. Perhaps they figure they can just go back to the good old days

of bullying and blustering and doing what they damned well please - AFTER the cameras and mikes are turned off and the press gaggle goes home and they think nobody's paying attention anymore. After all, a lot of what they achieved was done in the dark, behind closed doors, in the shadows, after the reception ended and everybody went home. I doubt there's been a TRUE change of heart. Some habits may be too hard to break. I see how conciliatory they APPEAR to be at present. Nobody seems to be putting much of a fight about this election. They seem to be accepting their losses surprisingly graciously. Which has me wondering if what we're seeing can be filed in the "too good to be true" file. Can't help it. I know who we're dealing with. They wanted power and stopped at nothing to grab it all - too much to just cave with courtesy like this. cheney, for one, has been huddled in his spider hole since the Watergate era, wanting to "fix" things.

2. Now THERE'S a guy who's polishing up his resume right now

the job market for cantankerous idealogues has just taken a turn for the worse...

[leftyladyfrommo]

4. Yea - he is one wierd guy.

But some think tank will take him in. Maybe the neocon think tank will find a place of him.

5. Hey Mr. Bolton, don't forget to include "Plato's Retreat veteran" on your resume!

6. Bolton probably sucks dick better than Victor Ashe.

7. it's a bit odd but

If i try to put myself in his shoes....

- I suppose not putting Bolton forward may look like weak capitulation to the newly power-infused Dems.
And that may embolden them (the Dems).
- Maybe a naieve attempt to portray the Dems as obstructionist after they turn Bolton down.

Or really it's probably just good ol' loyalty, above common sense.

11. Obstructionist Democrats will be the re-puke theme and the corp whore media will belch it endlessly.

This will be how the media will spin it when the "no plan" Democrats present a comprehensive direction that then will have to be portrayed as obstructionist to all the "sincere" administration efforts at "non-partisanship."

8. He'll get it when he's behind bars

Arrogant prick!

[leftyladyfrommo]

9. I know - he is just unbelievable in his arrogance. n/t

[rhett o rick]

10. Bush was born into a class that will never "get it". They think it is

part of God's plan for them to rule us poor lower classes.

[Ilsa]

12. I wish he could be reincarnated and sent

back a couple of centuries to be a chamber maid to haul the shit out for the lord of the manner.

[rhett o rick]

15. I would be happy if he just had to work for a living. nm

[Frank Cannon]

19. Agreed. I would just be happy if the idiot would work two years...

as a stockboy at a home store, which is about the maximum competency of job he might be qualified for since he's supposedly such a heroic athlete.

And he should have to support Laura and the twins in the lifestyle to which they are accompanied SOLELY on the salary that the job provides. He could work overtime and holidays, if necessary.

I think that would be punishment enough.

17. True karmic justice would occur if he and his family faced what he is putting others through

Bombings, running through streets as a soldier without adequate armor or weaponry, the loss of a spouse or child/children.

Or perhaps losing everything through the corrupt bankruptcy bill.

There's plenty karmic justice right here in 2006.

[riderinthestorm]

13. I believe he is trying to push Bolton through while he still has a Rethug congress

Bolton has NO chance once January rolls around.

It's clear that Bolton has no chance now either imho but I'm guessing he is pushing this one last time while there are still enough rethugs to twist enough arms to possibly get this done.

Which leads me to ask, what the hell kind of information does Bolton have that compels Bu$h to try to ram through Bolton with his lame duck rethugs? I mean, of all the damn things, he chooses Bolton as one of his big priorities?! Is it related to Bolton's work in Florida during the 2000 election? Does Bolton have some kind of information that he's blackmailing Bu$h with?

:wtf:

[Norquist Nemesis]

16. He gets it. He's challenging Democrats to stand up to him

It's the proverbial slap on the cheeks, twenty paces, turn, fire routine. Keep in mind, Karl's his second.

[MotorCityMan]

18. Well, he still has his "signing statements"

That his buddy Alberto assured him was his absolute, God-given right.
