I think Chimp is bored with it at this point. It's "hard work". Besides, he is becoming irrelevant--the problem isn't shrub, it's the machine that put him there. I keep thining back to what Rove said way before 2000, that he could make shrub president. As though it could only be done by a genius such as himself. That statement is very telling. It shows that shrub's presidential chops may be somewhat lacking: that the neocons and corporatists are using him as a convenient vessel for their global wet dreams. The fundies think he walks on water, but they're just the insurance needed to keep the elections close enough to steal. The lipstick on the pig so to speak. Shrub is the figurehead that stomps his feet and refuses to play unless he gets his way. Mars? Human/animal hybrids? Switchgrass? He's fast becoming a joke; the eccentric relative you trot out when company comes and apologize profusely for when he leaves the room. And he's too arrogant to realize it.

No, the problem is the machine. They will come up with someone else; but I think shrub wants out.
