"Bush self-destructing is the big story in town."

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

Buried at the bottom of an article in the New York Daily News:

For all the focus on the Democrats, a former Bush official who predicts a coming bloodbath between the White House and disgruntled conservative Republicans brushed off the Pelosi-Hoyer tussle as much ado about process.

"The Democrats are the sideshow," he said. "Bush self-destructing is the big story in town."

Hmmm. I wonder who this former Bush official is. Andy Card, maybe?

1. I don't think he'll be able to handle two years of Democrats in control

The little idiot has had things go his way his entire life. This sudden shift in what he's used to, combined with his bad temper, will lead to an ugly end result.

3. I really do think that too. Little Lord Pissypants

is so very used to getting his way.

This should be good.

7. Bi-partisan..more crap!!!!!!!!

Just look at what bush is doing to provoke the status in DC. He has re-appointed the judges turned down once because they were too too conservative, he has now appointed an abortion foe to head the family planning department. He is pushing the envelope isn't he. Still trying to tell people HE IS BOSS. Well the little dictator needs to be brought down a couple of pegs. He needs to be shown that he is not going to get all these outlandish things. And if the democrats don't start pushing back they are going to loose the support of the public.

2. tucker is doing his part today with trashing Pelosi's leadership ability

But W self destructing will overshadow everything in the long run. Every bit of nonsense made up to fill a Friday afternoon's tv time will pale next to W going up in flames.

4. If it weren't for the fact that Bush occupies the presidency, it would be

a hoot watching Bush self-destruct. Unfortunately, he has the opportunity to wreak havoc on the country in the process. I hope that Poppy and Baker can keep him in line.

5. I agree. He'll be like a wounded animal

More dangerous than ever.

12. I should start with the old congressional Dems. Stand up and

take control of the issues. Keep him from getting as much as possible in this lame duck session. Talk, talk, talk. You may not be able to out vote them yet but use every rule in the book that was invented for giving the minority party power. Also call it like it is. Keep reminding them that this is not what the people want.

6. I can't wait for this to make MSM

This is the soap opera I don't intend to miss.

8. The Pelosi-Hoyer-Murtha thing WAS much ado about nothing

It lasted all of two days. But, I'm really, really hoping that * goes nucular when he doesn't get his way because of the Democrats. It'll show the entire country what we've known since 2000 - that this guy is an immature prick.

9. Nobody will even remember Murtha/Hoyer

by Monday

may it be humiliating to his whole family.

11. Ya got to give it to the Daily News on this one. They got it right.

The leadership elections were about the process, Bushco seemingly hell bent on riding itself into its own idealogical morass is the real story.
