Fall From Grace


You know, for this guy to discuss, dismiss, or otherwise comment on graceful anything is...well, like expecting a dog to "get" a card trick.

And that's why this business about graceful exit just simply has no realism to it at all.

Funny enough, Shrub's probably being more truthful there than he could possibly realize, considering how awful things are in Mesopotamia right now. No, there will be no graceful exit, not after what's already been done.

Besides, events in Iraq make it pretty clear that any Shrubian statements are merely more evidence of his inner nitwit bubbling to the surface. The reality on the ground makes him as irrelevant as Saddam Hussein...perhaps providing a certain poetic justic/irony. Shrub's unhealthy obsession with Saddam was no doubt influenced, among other things, by the same Oedipal dysfunction that propelled him to seek the presidency in the first place. He would finish the job his father failed to do before Bush the elder's rejection by the people.

Well, as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for...
