Remember when Bush right after the 2004 election made the statement at one of his few press conferences - that "He earned political capitol with winning the election" and "now he is going to spend it. Its his style". Ignore the stupidity of the comment after earning only 51% of the vote - hardly a mandate. Ignore the fact that he was talking about his now miserably failed attempt to overhaul Social Security. What is more than obvious today is that Bush after Katrina, Harriet Miers, and Treasongate - has no capitol - never did. Like the woman I saw from New Orleans reacting after the hurricane said, "Before this I had nothing - now I have less than nothing". That is Bush in a nutshell and the trouble is that unlike his failed oil company's, this time his daddy's friends can't bail him out.
Not only has he used up any "political capital" that he may have had, he's racking up "political debt" at an unprecedented rate.
ReplyDeleteGood think for that "political bankruptcy bill" that just passed!
There's no where he can run and hide.
Thanks for the comment Bluemoon. Breaking up the corporate media would be a good start.
