Two To One They're Selling You Out, Son

For sure, Cheney and Rove haven't been discussing giving George W. Bush a Medal of Honor. But until they stood behind the Prez in the Rose Garden yesterday, Cheney and Rove have been invisible during the entire Katrina disaster. What have they been doing? Since apparently they haven't been planning the US exit strategy from Iraq, maybe they've been planning GWB's exit strategy. There are only two possibilities for a president who has brought his political party to ruin in a short eight months and has three years and four months of his term to go. He can die or he can resign, because this president cannot be rehabilitated. It's been reported by Capitol Hill Blue (political e-zine) since 2004 that the president has episodes of flat-out rage including cursing and obscene gestures. If even one of these tantrums gets on television coupled with the confirmation that he has to be heavily medicated to get through a TV performance…well...what could the White House do? Sorrowfully and regretfully force a resignation on medical/psychiatric grounds. Failing that, the WH mavens could always go to the Vatican playbook (see Pope John Paul I, September 28, 1978). Yep…in the immortal words of Sam Spade, “Two to one they're selling you out, son.”

I don't take Capitol Hill Blue seriously. They are stories that could be true, but it isn't hard to write plausibly about Bush and rage. It has been known for many years that he goes into rages, like that scene in the restaurant so many years ago where he assaulted that guy who was at another table with his family, or something like that. So I may read what CHB says, because it's fun to read, but I won't use it in my writing.
