Why is Bush being so cooperative??

[meisje]

It's scary

[delphinium]

He has no choice

[knowbody0]

1. he's on his way to the gallows

[rkc3]

2. He's sweating like a congressional page.

[SouthernBelle82]

5. Yep

He knows he's in deep shit so he's trying to look corporative so when the democrats hit and hit hard he can cry and say "but they ain't playin fair!" and than run to Darth Vader.

[Gregorian]

3. Because "the agenda" is over.

I can't believe it- I can actually listen to him for the first time.

He's suddenly human. As human as a bush can be.

[Deja Q]

10. Agreed. He is sounding like a genuine human being.

Trouble is, how long before actions decry the veracity of words?

On any elected official's side?

Let's wait and see but I sincerely hope EVERYBODY works together.

[BigMcLargehuge]

14. yeah same here...

this was the first speech of his that didn't make me want to kick the TV into atomic particles. How I wish I could attend the lunch he's going to have with Madame Speaker.

[gulfcoastliberal]

4. Is he "being" or "acting"? I pick acting.

We know this scumfucks nature.

[librechik]

6. Because his lips are moving (i.e., he is lying)

Cheney already promised a catastrophic fight to the death (over subpoenas)

This is the last "bipartisanship" we will see out of Junior. Especially once the investigations start cranking.

[Justitia]

7. I remember him like this a looooong time ago in Texas - back when the Dems ran TX.

It's funny, this is the OLD Bush I remember, it's kind of startling.

And remember, there are forces at work in the background from way, way back (Baker, Poppy Bush) that I think are seriously guiding some of this.

He knows he got his ass whupped and he is taking it down a notch so he doesn't completely lose face. His dad's folks must have had a serious "come to Jesus" mtg with him.

9. Coke jaw.

I see no coke jaw working. He seems almost human to me.
Still an idiot, but almost human. Scary.

Is he relieved?

Oh, he just told his ear-piece "I know I know" LOL

Wat

[cynatnite]

13. I've thought Daddy got involved a few months back...

Daddy bush saw what was coming in the way of the elections and sent Baker and his buddies in hopes of trying to save the repuke party from this defeat.

[Justitia]

16. I think Poppy told him "You have until the election, after that, it's OUR way". -eom

[txindy]

21. Yep, he's back to "uniting" now that uniting is in his best interests.

The House has the ability to investigate and indict him, so he's suddenly Mr. Cooperation. :eyes:

[theothersnippywshrub]

8. He has become Pelosi's Poodle. She should buy him a new collar

and chew toy since he became House broken so quickly.

[meisje]

11. That needs to be Photoshopped!

[Sapere aude]

12. He doesn't have his puppet masters behind him anymore. It's all over for Cheney et al

[bigtree]

15. lip service

window dressing to go with our drapes

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. If He Was This Reasonable He Might Have Had A Sucessful Presidency...

He will go down as one of the worst presidents in history...

[baby_mouse]

18. I suspect that he's not had as much choice in policy decisions as we might think...

But I have no evidence to back that up. Of course. A hunch, nothing more. My feeling is that now he knows he's going to lose next time he's um... kind of off the hook.

[uppityperson]

19. The people have spoken

and he finally realizes he is in deep doodoo

[quinnox]

20. its bizarre

The Bush I saw actually was likeable, it was like a different person.

[Justice Is Comin]

22. He got word his hemorrhoid shipment might be delayed,

it's coming in a big truck.

And so are the subpoenas.
