TIME Preview: New 'Split' Between Bush and Cheney on Diplomacy
Published: November 29, 2007 11:10 AM ET

NEW YORK The next issue of Time magazine, due out Friday, will cause ripples due to its Obama cover story, which ponders whether he is an agent of change in the race for the White House -- or is being changed by it. But a shorter article by its White House correspondent Massimo Calabresi should also get traction.

Called, "George W. Bush: Diplomat," it reveals "the split that has opened up between Bush and his hard-line Veep." Calabresi concludes that "W. has come home" -- from "Cheney and the unilateralists at one end" to the bosom of his father "and the multilateralists at the other." He actually has a "late-blooming passion for diplomacy."

It is insulting to the country and the world to call chimpy a diplomat. He probably doesn't even understand the word.

But.....more importantly is the report of a *split* with Darth. Could it be more groundwork for an upcoming resignation. I want it so bad.

1. Diplomacy???
bullshit. Then why did he spend about 5 seconds at the phony Mideast "summit" in Annapolis. He's too fucking stupid to care about diplomacy. Unless it's the relationship between gin and vermouth.

2. It's just infantile rebellion.
Shrubby is trying to show Uncle Dick that he's a big boy now. The second Darth pulls one of his angry faces, Little Boots will scamper back to his side for forgiveness.

3. Diplomat? Did you hear the nitwit fumble those names the other day?
Dip maybe, diplomat only in his dreams.

5. I don't want to sound cynical, but I believe it's more likely
a desperate attempt by Bush to separate him self from Dead-Eye-Dick in order to kick his own poll numbers up because Bush has become an obvious drag on the Republican's upcoming election chances.

6. Diplomacy?
I think the correct word is "legacy". It is all about him, you know.

It's okay with Darth too, because he knows it's doomed anyway.
