Shakespeare and Bush...

"He grows worse and worse. Questions enrage him." - Lady MacBeth

"MACBETH" by Wm. SHAKESPEARE, Act 5, Scene 4

Very much like our own deranged "King."

Farewell, faint-hearted and degenerate king,
In whose cold blood no spark of honour bides.

7. Excellent!

"No spark of honour" should be the official motto of the Bush Administration!

8. And one more:

Get thee glass eyes,
And, like a scurvy politician, seem
To see the things thou dost not.

King Lear, act 4, scene v.
