George Bush could not withstand the same scrutiny as Bill Clinton...
Until this week, he has mostly been treated with kid gloves. Nary a discouraging word...However, if the same criticism goes on day after day on TV, as it did with Bill Clinton, his poll ratings will drop like a rock. Unlike Bill Clinton, who kept high poll ratings, up to his last day in office. But Bush is not as strong as Clinton and would not be able to withstand the same type of scrutiny, in my opinion. Because, Bush is a very weak leader and once the people are exposed to the truth about he and his record, he will shrivel like a day lily in July.

1. Good point
and Bush will never admit he's wrong (he's God's chosen one, remember?) so he'll just keep trying to blame everyone else and dig himself deeper and deeper and deeper.

3. Correct.......people are seeing the true character of this administration.
Forget about photo-ops of the guy on an Aircraft carrier. The true test is how he handles the heat. And George is running from responsibility just like he did on 9/11.

You can run George, but you can't hide.

So WMD was a fabrication.....what were the real motives to attack Iraq and kill thousands of innocents, George?

4. Would we really want details of *'s sex life?
Talk about a national crisis.

<shudder>

* makes Raygun's "teflon president" moniker look positively, well, '80s! Nothing sticks to this guy. I just don't freaking get it.

5. Somehow, someway...
somebody has to corner the Chimpo while the cameras are on. Ask him that one incisive question which will send him over the edge. Cornered chimps would show you their nasty side if provoked. Chimpy McWarhardon (that would be the NEW ENGLAND McWarhardons, not much to do with Texas) has that nastiness lurking just below the surface. It's right there. I don't think it will take much.
