The Times article referred to administration sources that say, ”Mr. Bush maintains daily contact with only four people: first lady Laura Bush, his mother, Barbara Bush, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Undersecretary of State Karen Hughes. The sources also say that Mr. Bush has stopped talking with his father, except on family occasions.”
Just to have these stories out there points to at least some core members of Bush's administration being alarmed at his behavior. And to hear that he is seeking approval and advice from only his equally screwed-up mother and three other menopausal women is even scarier (Please don’t jump me as being anti-feminist – it’s just reality.)
This is exactly what I always thought and imagined could happen - that the US Supreme Court "installed" a Mad Hatter - the Western brand of a Kim Jong-Il. Someone drunk on power (and perhaps various substances) who talks nonsense and who is totally delusional.
We already know Barbara Bush is screwed up and out of touch. You know who I mean, the one who suggested that New Orleans Katrina victims, who lost everything including family members, are better off because they have been given new opportunities in Texas and elsewhere. Now we have to consider that this arrogant, racist bitch, Mother Bush, may be behind the curtain running this country. Shudder! Either way, we have some people in high places that are concerned - and rightfully so. This man George W Bush is incompetent, weak-minded and desperate and he has control of an amazing amount of power as president.
There is only one way Bush can reverse his approval numbers that will continue to sink because of Iraq and the Middle East fiasco. Since his born-again relationship with God and his praying doesn't seem to be helping he’ll have to do something brash. Small short-term successes regarding economic issues or fighting AIDS in Africa won't do it - it has to be dramatic. Sitting down with Iran or throwing tons of our money at Kim Jong-Il and becoming his good buddy won't get it either.
Bush needs something like an another attack on the US so he can get out his bull horn and shout machismo threats like "they can't run, they can't hide - we'll hunt 'em down and bring ‘em to justice". He's really been good at that hasn't he? It’s his child-like impression of a western movie star. “We’ll get you Black Bart! You can’t hide from Tex Bush”, swagger, swagger, smirk.
George would welcome any diversion like a fabricated excuse to bomb Iran or an attempt by terrorists to assassinate him in which case he and his power addicted administration would expect an outpouring of patriotism and sympathy for poor little beleaguered Dubya. However they might be surprised. Americans have seen behind the curtain and they are sickened and frightened by what they have seen.
Whatever Bush does you can bet more Americans and people around the world will suffer and more will die as a result. Either way, there can be no real recovery from the Bush Era for decades to come. Bush is screwed and so are we.
It has recently been revealed that the newly appointed Secretary of Defense, Gates, is not in agreement with Bush, Cheney or Rice on what to do about Iraq and he seems somewhat helpless to control Bush on defense matters. I’ve seen Gates looking sideways at Bush with a real look of concern and fear. Republican leaders are also starting to get nervous. They recognize a somewhat psychotic idiot teetering on the edge of becoming a full blown Mad Hatter. Hats off to Ralph Nader for helping bring us this nightmare. Please set your alarm clock for all of 2007 and again for 2008.
Here we go down the Rabbit hole.
