Bush quips he might stay in power
He’s at it again.
Reporter: Mr. President, following up on Vladimir Putin for a moment, he said recently that next year, when he has to step down according to the constitution, as the president, he may become prime minister; in effect keeping power and dashing any hopes for a genuine democratic transition there.Bush: I’ve been planning that myself.
Ok, let’s get serious here. Do we really think that Bush would put himself above the law and the Constitution and pull an end-run play into a full dictatorship?
Um…don’t answer that. Let’s try a different question. Do we think that Bush thinks he deserves to be President-for-life, like such luminaries as Idi Amin?
Yup. I’m sure he thinks he is the best qualified person to be president in the country. And since he’s clearly indicated in the past that there is no law that can stop him from whatever he wishes to do… Would he do that?
Maybe he’s just being his asinine self, the one who can’t crack a joke without sounding like a deadly serious mentally-ill moron. Maybe what he really meant is that now that he’s solved all the problems of this country, he’s going to move on and solve the problems of Russia, too. He is, after all, god’s gift to humanity. Just ask him and he’ll tell you how he spreads good will wherever he travels around the world.
But in case he does decide to continue in the Presidency, I’ve got my CafePress t-shirt all planned. It will say, “Off with his head…of state.”
Close enough.
