"This country is better off with Denny Hastert as the speaker, and it will be better off when he is the speaker" in the next Congress, Bush said.

  • You can tell two things about Bush: when his lips are pressed together, he's pissed; when they're moving, he's lying.

  • Also notice how rarely he smiles now.

    And no little glibness.

    And the weird little chuckle/laugh is gone.

    It's not fun being a failed pesident.

  • Good observations, Mike. Bush seems more agitated lately... I'd call it "pissy." It makes him seem even smaller, if that's possible.

  • He has turned out to be a little man now that he's realized nobody likes him.

    His "banter" with the press pool has gotten more bullying and brutal lately, too.

  • That last sentence though, and I know I'm vote theft paranoid, freaks me out.

    And in all honesty- at the same time I don't see how they could pull it off this year. The House is "looking like a walk" and the Senate race is looking better for the Dems everyday, with the exception of Virginia which I expect to go tight as hell when the results start coming out late Tuesday evening But I think they'll steal that one.

    Even my state of Ohio had tightened up a couple of weeks ago and Mehlman & crew tossed a few million Dewine's way, but Brown is starting to pull ahead (and strongly) just in the last week or so.
