Extrapolated from an apparent typo in freda underhill's post of 01-Sep-05 6:52pm ... the reign of Bush should be more aptly named, "The Bush Diminshtration" ... (thanks freda)

.......and kat suggests that giving Bush enough rope will allow him to hang himself. He is well into a second and final term in office. The scary thing about Bush right now is that he does not need to answer to the American people for any of his actions. At this point, there's no motivation for concessions or patronization in order to curry votes for another term in office. I'm not sure he even cares about leaving a legitimate legacy for his party so that a Republican candidate will have a chance at the Presidency in 2008. All that he has on his agenda is returning favors to the big corporations who got him elected in the first place, to prepare a cushy transition into "private life" for himself.

Ebbie, expect to see an oil well in your back yard.
