Ugh. May post Monday, I dunno.
As far as Dubya, I voted for him in 2000. He turned out to be completely different from the ‘Great Compromiser’ I understood him to be in Texas. He seemed to be the person that had never run a successful business (including the Texas Rangers) instead of the policy maker he was reported to be in Texas.
Besides, Gore, at the time, struck me as completely the wrong guy.
Has he been gracious since losing the House and Senate, yes he has. Real class, even if the situation forced it on him. It was, as he said, “a cummulative thumping” on Tuesday. At least he fired Rumsfield. He should fire Rice and apologize to Powell. The Republican party is pretty shameless in piling it on Bush now that they lost. It’s why I’ve changed my mind and will not vote for Sen McCain, the guy I really wanted to win the nomination in 2000. (I still have the t-shirt.)
Still, Bush said two days before the election that handing over the country to the Democarts means that the terrorists win. You gotta have some humility after that kind of statement.
Otherwise, bleh. Cobwebs in the brain.
