A Lion in Winter

Because of course he didn’t know a thing about it. And he’s still right:
WASHINGTON - Facing the darkest days of his presidency, President Bush is frustrated, sometimes angry and even bitter, his associates say. [...]
The President’s top political guru, Karl Rove, and Vice President Cheney’s right-hand man, Lewis (Scooter) Libby, are at the center of a two-year criminal probe into the leak of a CIA agent’s identity. Many Bush staffers believe indictments are likely.
“He’s like the lion in winter,” observed a political friend of Bush. “He’s frustrated. He remains quite confident in the decisions he has made. But this is a guy who wanted to do big things in a second term. Given his nature, there’s no way he’d be happy about the way things have gone.”
Lion in winter my ass.
This is a protected and promoted paranoid megalomaniac who is finding out that there aren’t enough sycophants and cronies in the world to fix reality.
If the law of the land applies, and he is hung from the yardarm like the white collar pirate he is, he will still be dreaming of his glorious legacy.
What did we learn from Hitler’s life and methods? That you don’t promote or protect people when they get like this.
Bush belongs in the Hague, right beside Slobodan Milosevic.
