George Bush and his White House have been running roughshod over our rights from the moment he was “elected.” Now, that’s not news to the people on my side of the W issue — those of us with brains, in other words — we’ve been saying it from Day One. But it’s surprising even to me just how far they’ve taken it and with how much hubris, given the recent revelations about secret prisons and torture and, now, domestic spying by the NSA. I don’t know why it surprises me — I put nothing past those chowderheads — and yet it does. Even when they’re getting every little thing they want to go their way, they still find a way to fuck it up. Truly, they are the gang that couldn’t shoot straight.

But I find myself insanely wishing that Bush had more time left in office before his term runs out. With just a little more time, we surely would see him impeached.
