When do you think Chimpy will have his "I'm not a crook" moment?

One of the great visuals of Watergate is of Dick Nixon standing at a podium with a huge American flag behind him and saying, "The American people have a right to know whether or not their president is a crook...well, I'm not a crook!"

I think sooner of later, Bush will have his "I'm not a crook" moment too.

5. And he'll look even more unconvincing than Nixon did.

He'll say:

"The 'murkin people has th' right ta know..."
(10-second pause. Jaw twitch)
"...whether er not..."
(Pause, jaw twitch, lip lick)
"... their, uh, prez'dint is, uh..."
(Pause)
"... a, er, crook..."
(Multiple jaw twitches, lip lick)
"Well, uh, Ah am, uh, Ah am not, uh, a crook."
(Jaw twitch. Turns abruptly, leaves.)

6. He doesn't have the Balls to do it

Looking back on Richard Nixon, one thing that does come to mind, love him or hate him, is that he was the owner of two huge brass balls.

7. As he's being dragged out in handcuffs by his feet

shouting, "I'm a God ferrin Merikun,"

And the feds reply, "Yes and now you'll have a lot of time to pray over it at Gitmo."

8. I don't think he has the cajones

I think he'll just drink himself into a puddle.

10. Nixon wasn't a crook..

He was a lot of other horrible things, but he never sunk to the level of simple thievery

B*sh on the other hand IS a crook, a craven, brazen thief.

11. Maybe - if he's facing some down time, he'll go off on a giant 'Toot'

instead
