Bush's New World Order

Who would have thought even twenty four hours ago that Nancy Pelosi would be holding a press conference with Bush congratulating her as the new Speaker of the House. Better yet - who would have thought even fourteen hours ago that Bush would appear calm , cool and genuinely gracious in his remarks as he warmly greeted Nancy into her new post. Of course Nancy made it easy for Bush to be so gallant. As always, she looked supremely elegant, she spoke supremely eloquent and had a confident, controlled air about her. This in complete contrast to a president who cannot stand behind the podium without one of his legs always moving, who cannot string a grammatically correct sentence together without his head writer drafting it for him first, and who cannot govern a country without his fanatical sidekicks and hardnoses behind the scenes orchestrating all of his decisions and directives for him.

Yes America, Bush has given us a new world order. For the first time in six years he can appear serene and confident because the fate of the world has been removed from his hands. The dems have taken over that responsiblity from him and his republican cohorts and he can now sit back, put his feet up, watch football and forget about saving the world from burning itself down. The problems of running this vast, unscripted country has finally been removed from his agenda. Albeit prematurely, but Bush knows that as long as he plays ball with the dems and lets them fall on their faces on their own terms he's out of trouble. The dems promised him they wouldn't drag his sorry ass into any impeachment trail as long as he plays nice with them. That was all Bush wanted at this point in time. He pulled the rug from under his fan base. He cut and ran as soon as the final vote was announced. He instantly knew as soon as the final vote was announced which side to stand on. When the dust settled there was only one person Bush was concerned about and that was himself. As long as he was protected he didn't care how many bodies had to be carried out of the senate and the house. Bush didn't even throw a bone to his dog, Barney.
