RE : hope W gives them a last minute pardon. Scooter Libby too”
You are dreaming. GWB is a sickening failure, a disaster. We were fooled (I was once a believer too). The past two years since 2006 he was damaged and all he has cared about is trying to get some praise by media after he is gone. And if he has to sell out to democrats, socialism, UAW, MSM, illegals and mexican drug dealers, so be it. Wake up Bush-bots!

First Mistake: If you'll remember, Dick Cheney was sent down to Crawford to help him pick a running-mate instead of being the one. So, in effect, we got a VP candidate with a bum heart and absolutely no chance of succeeding him after his second term despite all of the good younger choices out there.
Second Mistake: He didn't come out and circumvent the media by announcing his DUI conviction and saying that he learned a lesson from the experience, instead of letting the press discover it. The consequence was a stalemate of an election with Gore.
Third mistake: CFR. If he didn't like McCain-Feingold, why did he sign it into law.
Fourth mistake: Rumsfeld after 9-11! The man was another Gen. McClellan--great at building the military after Clinton but a disaster when it came to using it in wartime.
Fifth mistake: Katrina. It was a wasted opportunity to demonstrate that he, a compassionate conservative, really cared. The photo op of a plane ride over the area was a colossal boner.
Sixth mistake: Allowing himself to be talked into the "limited warfare" strategy of pre-surge Iraq.
Seventh Mistake: Harriet Myers as a SC possibility--Gonzo's incompetence added to it.
Eighth Mistake: Illegals and what to do with them.
Ninth Mistake: After "we took a thumpin'" he didn't try to shore up the fiscal state of his house with VETO power.
Tenth Mistake: The 10th is the "Cry-sis" Paulsen, Cox, Bernake, Fannie, Freddie, Lehman, Bear Stearns--basically the economy which will forever plague him to the legacy of presidential failures.
I wish I could get the money I gave this failure for his campaigns. I wish I could get the money back I gave the McCain/Palin campaign.
I deny the contributions to the horse-whisperer side of the ticket, but was well pleased with Palin.
Hey it’s the season of hope. I’ll hope but I won’t hold my breath waiting.
Ditto for SCOTUS actually dealing with the Obama eligibility issue.
