THE LAMEST OF DUCKS
President Bush has begun to see his stranglehold over a timid and flinching congress expire. The congress has passed a bill allowing for the expansion of Stem Cell Research funding, despite assurances that the President will employ his first presidential veto ever to block the measure.
DEFIED!
His ability to intimidate congress is fading, and that will make it very hard for him to get anything done in the future. The dogs are turning on their master.
It is going to be great fun watching Bush try to cope with his status as Lame Duck. I do not expect him to take it gracefully. He will spend his last days fighting his decline, and will do all sorts of hilarious and bizarre things in order to look more powerful than he really is, like a political comb over. Nobody likes an unpopular president around election time, especially when said president won’t be around much longer. If power is an aphrodisiac, than failure will prove to be the world’s surest repellant. There is, as they say, blood in the water.
