1. The Senate must confirm

2. The White House needs time to adjust.

They're not used to having to ask Congress for anything. They still think they can pick up the phone and order what they want, like with Pizza Hut.

4. Count your blessings. He's not a neo con

He's a paleo con.

Cheney isn't running the show anymore. Poppy is and I expect he may do a reasonable job of unfuckingup Iraq as is possible under the circumstances. After all, Poppy and his minions have been cleaning up after Shrub's fuckups for 60 years now and hopefully they're getting good at it

5. I hope you meant 6 and not 60.

[Jacobin]

6. Jr is 60 years old

Poppy has been cleaning up his frat shit fuckups since the day that idiot was born

7. Indeed. Who do you think bailed him out of business failure after business failure?

I mean, it's no coincidence that * has been able to skate away from everything he's done, including driving drunk with his sister in the backseat.

8. Ah. I thought you were referring to his presidential screw-ups.
