...that down deep GWB is really a liberal -- if not too bright -- kinda guy who's been dancing with the people who brought him to the party but now will have a chance to ditch the clammy-cold bastards and do some more humanistic things to try and polish up his legacy before it's too late. The first thing could be real, empathetic immigration reform. Then a raise in the min-wage. Could universal health care be far behind? What has GWB got to lose at this point? I can just hear it, in a Doonesbury-style speech over a shot of the White House, "God damn it, Karl, stop tellin' me what to do! I been listenin' to you for six years and where's it got me? Everyone hates my guts! I'm gonna go down in history as the worst president we ever had. I've had enough. Now, maybe if I work with these jokers I can give folks SOME damn thing to remember me for that doesn't make 'em want to spit on the ground! You, too, Dick, just shut the hell up! Now, Nancy...what was that you were saying about health care for everyone?"
