The dismal state of George W. Bush
In his last annual speech to Congress, the president used Osama bin Laden to justify Iraq, bravely denounced pork-barrel spending and waxed amnesiac about Iran.
By Walter Shapiro [2008-01-29]

  • two thoughts

    I didn't watch the speech, like someone else I watched "How I Met your Mother"...the belt gag was pretty hilarious if you ask me.

    but two thoughts:

    1) I get the sneaky feeling that Bush actually cares about Immigration Reform and the millions of illegal immigrants within the American borders. If I recall, his plan was surprisingly progressive for him...it just doesn't jive with anything else he's done in the last seven years. I don't get it.

    2) Just as a thought excercise - had the Democrats actually gone and tried to impeach Bush, who do you think it would've helped? Hillary b/c it continues the battle that her and Bill were central to in the 90s? Or Obama with his "let's put all this nastiness behind us" rhetoric? I suspect Hillary would've really benefitted from an impeachment proceeding. Any thoughts?
