COME HOME LITTLE BUSHIE

Bush’s permanent majority has melted away like a polar icecap under the effect of global warming, the existence of which he never recognized, though he must be starting to feel the heat now!

He knows he’s defenseless. He’s aware of all the awful things he’s done, though, like every wise guy who has ever lived, he never contemplated that his streak would come to an end.

Like a particularly odious, cowardly minor Roman emperor who one morning awakes to find that his bodyguard has slipped away during the night, exposing him to the naked wrath of his long-oppressed subjects, Bush awoke to find his flabby Praetorian guard of crooked, grafting flunkies had been ridden out of town on a rail by an inflamed electorate.

The White House had better lay in a large supply of Vaseline for Bush, because now that he has lost both houses of Congress and is virtually defenseless, his butt is going to get reamed out like a two-dollar crack whore on Saturday night.

I’m not sure I’m in favor of impeaching his sorry butt now that his legs are effectively cut off anyway, and he may prove more useful as a punching bag for the Democrats leading up to the next election, but I am definitely in favor of pursuing congressional hearings into various of his blunders, like 9/11, as a way of controlling him with the threat of impeachment, the same as the threat of armed force would have been a more effective way of controlling Saddam Hussein than an actual invasion of Iraq.

Bush is susceptible to all kinds of pressure now and, contrary to his Top Gun image, he is not a tough man. He is Mr. Softee, and he will be easy for the Democrats to muscle around. The big risk is that if he is too brutally banged around by vengeful Democrats he will become a figure of sympathy for the more softheaded sob sisters of society.

He could serve as an excellent lightning rod for our sins. Maybe we should send him and Cheney on a month-long tour of Pakistan.
