Hidden Bush closely watching election
by Olivier Knox
19 minutes ago


WASHINGTON (AFP) - President George W. Bush sweated out US elections at the White House, making 11th-hour telephone calls to allies and awaiting results set to shape his legacy and his last two years in office.

Bush planned to stay out of sight and break his silence on the hard-fought vote only on Wednesday, but aides insisted he was not worried about pollster predictions that anger at the Iraq war would help opposition Democrats retake the House of Representatives and make gains in the Senate.

"The president is in a good mood," said White House spokesman Tony Snow, adding that Bush would dine with a longtime friend and some aides before retiring with political guru Karl Rove to follow the evolving battle.

1. "The president is in a good mood" - always is for the first couple cocktails
Then he becomes a mean drunk.

9. I can see Karl Rove choking on a pretzel
which of course results in a black eye. That's not the best night of entertainment if this thing bears out. The little tyrant Georgie is going to punch him.

7. like Ocean's 11 - RUN AND HIDE, you sob. Run and hide.
I am still afeared of truly feeling good. My spousette is anti politics - hates it all - and even she is cheering on the exit polling.

16. He's going to jumping all around his cage in a few hours.
I despise him. I hope he suffers the most embarrassing defeat in politics. The worst president in US history is about to be lame-ducked.

17. Wednesday?
That should give him and pickles enough time to board a plane to Paraguay if things don't work out to his liking.
