Is Bush the first President who needs to be bailed out by someone close to him

Whenever something goes wrong?

This must be the 17th time one of Poppy's friends have had to come and clean up Bush's mess.

1. That's what Harriet Myers was supposed to do.

Similar to Scalia et al in 2000.

2. After he's left office...

I believe we will find out that at some point 41 became the de facto President of the United States.

5. He always was..

Anyone who thinks that junior's ascendency was self-motivated, needs another margarita.

3. Nixon did too

But they were smart enough just to get the idiot to resign. We have to suffer the failed prince and accept that a king we deposed is ruling us again. I'm not happy.

4. No. Woodrow Wilson had his wife as acting president

(unofficially) after he was incapacitated by a stroke.

6. That's different

I'm talking about when things go politically wrong for a person.

[Hardrada]

9. If you will check that period of our history things ALSO

had gone very wrong for Wilson in the political sphere. I suspect his illness and his very real loss of power were intertwined.

7. yes ..correct me if i am wrong but i think all of our presidents were

ADULTS!

8. reagon

10. As I recall, George H.W. LOST his last election

What's he doing running the Oval Office? Isn't Junior his own man? Isn't he The Decider? Isn't the interesting thing about being the president that he doesn't have to listen to anybody if he doesn't want to? And he can stay up until 9:05 if he wants ta. Or 9:10!

This frickin' administration has just been a disaster for this country. There may be a time when proof that you voted for Bush makes you an accessory to their crimes.
