Notice this? The heats on Cheney, then suddenly Bush is in trouble?
I've long been of the opinion that Bush is a puppet. He just seems highly manipulatable to me. And I've often thought that, should politics start hitting the fan, Bush would be set up to take the fall.

Then, this Sunday, it is stated that the Office of the Vice President was fully aware of the falsity of the African uranium sale info. Cheney's in trouble. But luckily Bush is out of town. Cheney passes the buck, and Bush is oddly ill-prepared for a some timely questions from a reporter. Now it's BUSH in the hot seat.

Seen Cheney infront of the cameras lately? Nope. Seen Bush sweating over these new allegations? Oh ya. Somehow Rove, who's managed to keep Bush under wraps in so many other awkward times, suddenly fails in his duty just at this moment?

If there's to be a fall from this, Bush is now primed to take the hit. Wonder if he knows?

But to me the real questions are these:

- If Bush falls, will he have the nerve and the smarts to take anyone else with him?

- Or, will all these troubles just blow away.

Going to be an interesting news week.

1. seeing as how B*sh has never taken responsibility for anything
or been held accountable for any of his actions in his life, I doubt highly that he will come forth honorably, like a real man would. He will be desperately pointing fingers and expecting to be bailed out. JMHO.

3. That's my thought!
If this administrations machine has tossed Bush to the wolves, does he have enough wherewithall to tag the other wrongdoers? Or do they have him so convinced that he's a genius and "one of the boys" that he isn't prepared for such a betrayal?

2. ALL of the liars are back-pedaling this week.
I think something big might be close to breaking. Just a gut feeling. Same gut feeling I had a month before 9/11 when I moved my entire 401k out of the stock market.

7. You smart bastard, DemoTex!
You know, if I had simply gotten off my ass and moved the funds that I wanted to (i.e moving out of the stock market the day the Emperor* was crowned, moving funds as I knew I should on Mar. 14th instead of 19th (which I did) into the stock market for the War Idiots Run-Up which is likely at and end or near, then I would have made 25% on my funds instead of 10% (not that I'm unhappy about that).

So, I made all the same sane predictions for my money, was right almost every single time (it's easier to predict in a Totalitarian Society than the Raucous confusion of a Free Society, is how I reckon my "correct prediction rating" across the board has shot up from 60% to 85%.

But I procrastinated and missed almost every smart boat because I didn't sit my ass down and take the time to write the letters and/or otherwise figure out how to move my money around.

4. Just wait, it is going to get worse too. It will take a while but....
....I think Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld will eventually all fall.

9. if bush goes down i predict:
he will go down swinging wildly (due to his malignant narcissism he will lash out as a reflex--at poppy, too), if he lives that long. they may blow him up and blame al qaeda (which would pretty much be game, set, match for the fascists, no? brilliant plan if i do say so myself.)
