What would Bush have been like without Cheney?
What if it had been a Bush-Powell administration from the beginning, with the Dark Lord languishing in obscurity someplace far from government power? What would such an administration be like? Still evil? Still clueless? Still anti-Constitution? Still in Iraq?

1. Asking: "Paper or plastic?"

2. It would have been the do-nothing "placeholder" presidency I had expected from B*sh.
4 years, and then off to a well-deserved obscurity.

Cheney is running things; B*sh is just a puppet.

6. Powell would not have been able to
stomach it. Still evil? Of course. Remember, this is an evil dynasty. Still clueless? Absolutely! Still anti-Constitution--sadly, yes, since that is the goal of the BFEE. Still in Iraq? Yep. The Chimp relishes being commander in chief guy way too much to give it up. Bottom line--he has surrounded himself with incompetents and croneys, valuing being loyal to them over any other quality one might seek in candidates for the administration--so even if Ch*ney had taken retirement, we'd still be up a creek without a paddle.

7. The Neo-cons would never have allowed it. Powell was just a temporary space holder used to get some
of the less reactionary voters to believe that there might be some sanity in the Bush Administration if he were elected.

9. Bush would have pushed for federal funding
to build exclusive golf courses in every city with an airport, with the Supreme Court approving eminent domain to tear down houses for them.

"Now watch this drive!"
