    I found myself wondering if Bush believes there some "other" trifecta waiting for him .... double or nothing?

    I din't really think he thinks <<< G O D >>> believes in HIM.

    His lack of empathy is stunning -- particularly for our armed forces and their families in this ** HOLIDAY ** season -- or even empathy for all the Republican CANDIDATES who LOST in November on HIS VERY OWN coat tails or even for all those folks who voted for "him" in 2000, 2002 and 2004, but had a "change of heart" in 2006... those folks who actually are "disillusioned", present company excepted ... All of the citizens whose cognitive dissonance must be compounded daily -- wondering "who is this guy?" "How did we end up here?"

    He (and Tony Snow) seems to still be playing the John Wayne mas macho, baddest mo'fo pissing contest game ... and it's not playing well in Peoria ...

    I have no idea what "cavalry" he thinks is going to come to his rescue ... or where that massive "silent majority" groundswell of support is hiding ... Yo, that first trifecta was a shitload of bad "luck" too.

    He has painted himself into a corner wrt Iran, Korea, "terrorists" like Hamas, Hizbollah -- having declared won't negotiate with them, he appears to be trying to "tough it out" ... such self-centered vanity, so doomed, so wasteful, so tiresome ... like waiting for any stubborn someone to "turn blue"
