Poor Little Frustrated Lame Duck!

Gee, it must be tough being George Bush these days. Those big bad congressional democrats aren't letting him get his way, so he has gone on a national whining tour. Here's my favorite part: Bush himself has been complaining more and more bitterly about congressional Democrats in recent weeks. In a private meeting yesterday with House Republicans in the East Room of the White House, Bush recalled how he had been able to work with Democrats when he was Texas governor and said he had hoped to find the same relationships in Washington. [full story] Now that is rich! He never once attempted to do anything the slightest bit bipartisan since befouling the White House six years ago, and now that he doesn't have a blank check congress anymore, he can't function. And I feel so bad for the guy. Really, I do. Here's a man used to having everything he has ever wanted just handed to him. He wants to get into Yale? No problem, daddy pulls some strings. He wants out of Vietnam? No sweat, there's the air national guard. But the air national guard wants to start testing his urine for drugs. No problem, just don't show up and daddy's friends will hide the evidence. Daddy, I want an oil company and a baseball team! You got it, kiddo! Then he loses the presidential election even after his little brother did what he could to purge all the wrong voters from Florida, but not to worry, he's got friends on the supreme court to give him what he wants in a ruling laughed at by most legal scholars. Then he wants a war, but people tell him he doesn't have a good enough case for it. No problem, anybody who questions him gets smeared as unpatriotic or worse. So now for the first time in George W. Bush's life, he's hearing the word "no." What is this word "no?" What do you mean I can't do whatever I want without consequence or accountability? I don't like this job so much anymore. Where's Uncle Karl? Uncle Dick is busy shooting caged birds to help me out of this one. Don't worry folks, this phase of our national nightmare is almost over.
