Everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, sells their soul in politics - especially to get into the White House! And that includes the next resident-elect too.
Bush is a pathological ass - that's why he was such as easy mark for Rove and the rest of the war hog neo-cons. They knew the guy was shallow, uninterested in anything except being a big shot with the biggest guns. "A red ass in a hurry," is how they described him back in Texas.
Bush always took the easy way out and let others clean up his messes for him. He never took responsibility for a damn thing. Why would a gig in the White House be any different?
The guy's an ass, pure and simple. And we shall always at first laugh, and then shake our heads still with anger, at how badly he damaged our country. Bush's legacy is this: One person actually can mess up an entire lifetime.
