It’s hard to tell what President Bush ultimately stands for- other than tax cuts for the rich and war for the poor- but one thing that is abundantly clear is that he is a ruthless partisan. Despite carrying himself as someone who would “change the tone” in Washington, President Bush more closely resembles Tony Soprano than a conciliatory politician.At every turn during his presidency, Bush and his cronies have looked for opportunities to knife their political adversaries. Like a prison inmate facing a life sentence, they act as if they have nothing to lose attacking heroes like Max Cleland, eviscerating environmental policies, and ridiculing Congress.
Indeed, the most galling aspect of the Gonzales-US Attorney scandal is the fact that the attorneys were fired AFTER the Republicans got their derrieres handed to them in the last election. One might think the administration would be chastened after their evil plan to take over the world had been sidelined, but no, they take one more outrageous liberty on their way out of office. Who knows what else they’ll ram down our throats before they exit the White House?
