Chest Beating
Evidently W. is making scenes. Perhaps he's experiencing some stress in spite of claims to the contrary. Friends reported to the Dallas Morning News that the "wild eyed" decider was observed claiming"I am the President" while thumping his chest.
Neoconservative operatives were able to pump the puppet and cover Reagan's Alzheimer's pretty well, but it's much more difficult to manage an addict.
Lately it's become fashionable to screw up royally and then beat a path to rehab -- think Lindsay Lohan, Brittany Spears, Mel Gibson and Mark Foley. Could rehab be the face saving way out of Iraq. Oops, I was abusing alcohol (and painkilllers prescribed by doctors for my bicycle knee) and I made a little mistake. I "crossed the line", but I didn't mean to. I'm in rehab now and can't be held accountable.
The man needs treatment -- after he is impeached and incarcerated, that is.
But there seems to be a more ominous alternative plan.
