From an editorial in the LA Times:
As the Bush administration attempts to stabilize the nation's economy, we are witness to the final chapter of a period of perverse and dishonest leadership that has used its own crises to justify the expansion of its own power.
The gyrations of the stock market have been dismaying, and the threat to the country's financial institutions -- and everyone who borrows from or invests in them -- is real. Still, the audacity of this administration demanding expanded powers and curtailed accountability is a wonder to behold. The bitter irony is that this crisis warrants dramatic intervention, but President Bush's record makes him difficult to trust even when he's right.
These troubles are about more than a president who is unfaithful to his word. We are seeing the erection of an imperial presidency, immune from oversight when it fights terrorists and when it rescues banks.
George Bush promised humility and delivered arrogance. The next president must not.

Yet "impeachment is off the table." Jeebus.
Update: some dippy mouthbreather (quoted over at instapundit.cum) opines on how we'll all come to revere Bunnypants in a few years: "How will he occupy his time? Roving ambassador? Baseball commissioner? University president?"
Oh… my… gawd. LOLOL. Dude: a grip -- get it! Hopefully the little fucker'll be in prison for war crimes, at the very least.
No shit.

I'm finding it hard not to laugh in the faces of ANY repub that has the gall to suggest that a president that there is high definition film of... freezing during an attack on our nation... just before he RUNS AWAY will be seen as anything other than the slack jawed, drooling buffoon he is.
They don't grow pot strong enought to make that freaking pig look like price charming.
Jesus-H-Christ... WTF is WRONG with these retards? That "W" is the WORST US president in memory is virtually non-debateable. You could make a 'competency argument (incorrectly, in my opinion, but vaguely plausible) for someone like Nixon or H Bush, but with W it's a foregone conclusion that he's 'the worst.' I never thought I'd live to see a worse US president than Reagan, but W has proven me wrong..
In an anywhere NEAR perfect world, we'd get a fuzzy video going viral of him being put out of our misery Sadam Style.
