Addicted to Bush
By PAUL KRUGMAN
Published: July 22, 2010

Again, Republicans aren’t trying to rescue George W. Bush’s reputation for sentimental reasons; they’re trying to clear the way for a return to Bush policies. And this carries a message for anyone hoping that the next time Republicans are in power, they’ll behave differently. If you believe that they’ve learned something — say, about fiscal prudence or the importance of effective regulation — you’re kidding yourself. You might as well face it: they’re addicted to Bush.

1. Cue Robert Palmer

you see the signs, but you can’t read
you’re running at a different speed
your heart beats in double time
another kiss and you’ll be mine, a one-track mind

you can’t be saved
oblivion is all you crave
if there’s some left for you
you don’t mind if you do

whoa, you like to think that you’re immune to the stuff, oh Yeah
it’s closer to the truth to say you can’t get enough,
you know you’re gonna have to face it, you’re addicted to Bush

3. Along with the image of Laura & Babs in short black skirts pretending to play guitar . . .

Need I go further?

2. They are about to run Jeb up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes.

Mark my words. Note their great white hope, Fred Thompson is selling Ronco salad spinners on the tv (he coulda been president-yech!). O stomps Palin in imaginary contests.

4. Your words are marked

I'd bet you're right

5. We're already stuck with this in NJ . . .
