Profiles in Courage Watch

An unnamed White House official, quoted in today's Times, describing Bush administration efforts to get home foreclosure relief: ""It's become clear that if you stick your head up, it'll get cut off. We're done in two months. The next administration can try to find a way out of that maze."

Thanks to TPM Reader JR for the catch.

2. Bush should have been impeached. At the very least, and out of respect

for the 80% of Americans that hate his everlovin guts, GW Bush should have resigned the Office on the very day Senator Barrack Obama was the official winner of the 2008 Presidential election.
MF**KER Bush remains to simply create more disaster, as America limps and crawls and drags itself on to Jan 20, 2009.

4. Hey, my paycheck's still cashing

And I'm outta here in a matter of weeks, if not days. We're leaving a big mess, but what they hey! I have to get my next sinecure lined up and with all the Republicans turned out of office in November, it's gonna be double tough to score a staff or think tank position.

"Republican public servant" is an oxymoron as sure as military intelligence.

5. Hey, nobody's stopping you from resigning, asshat.

Believe me, there is nobody in the Bush administration who would be missed if they left now.
