Swan Song

[Steve Perry]

yeah, max. bush is intellectually lazy but quite canny politically, as
ivins/dubose argue pretty effectively in their book. he'll be to the
christian right what clinton was to the liberals--grinning at them while he
pisses down their leg, all the while keeping wall st. and the corporate
suites foremost on radar.

Sure was, and I've forgotten it already.  But I bless Al for his very
blandness and bogus bonhomie.  He didn't leave the Republicans any
handholds.  There's no way the GOP can cry foul and say Gore's undercutting
their guy.  I have every confidence the Bush Administration will be
virtually DOA and that W will prove the greatest presidential fuckup of all
time.  The trick will be for the Democrats to give him enough room to do so
-- for them to be quietly obstructionistic without coming across as harshly
adversarial.  Gore's exit, chuckling, routine makes for a good start.

I'm not sure about W's impending political death.
We shouldn't forget that Cheney is a very smart
guy, and W has been thru the experience of working
with a legislature not under his thumb in Texas.
