Capitol Hill Blue: Bush on the Constitution: 'It's just a goddamned piece of paper'

Libertarians of left and right get together to oppose the great dictator.
Suddenly I start to see all sorts of similarities between Bush and Hitler.
Sadly, I don't think we are talking "last days" yet.

Maybe Hitler would have lastd longer if he had had Bush's sence of humour.

Caligula appointed his horse as consul.
Bush just makes a film about his dogs as the White House Christmas message.

Last month, Republican Congressional leaders filed into the Oval Office to meet with President George W. Bush and talk about renewing the controversial USA Patriot Act.

Several provisions of the act, passed in the shell shocked period immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, caused enough anger that liberal groups like the American Civil Liberties Union had joined forces with prominent conservatives like Phyllis Schlafly and Bob Barr to oppose renewal.

GOP leaders told Bush that his hardcore push to renew the more onerous provisions of the act could further alienate conservatives still mad at the President from his botched attempt to nominate White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.

“I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.”"
