Seriously, I do not believe that whoever is truly in charge of this BushCorp government is going to allow Georgie that honor. I think Cheney has the "button" at his disposal. Ok, if that is true, how weird would it be to think that he has blackmailed Pelosi and Reid into keeping impeachment "off the table"? Before you answer, remember how many unbelievable things this government has done.

5. If it is Cheney, we'd better hope he doesn't have another heart attack. He may decide to take us
with him.

2. George has the Fisher-Price version
With all the rubber knobs and flashing lights.

Darth Cheney has the real thing. And his finger is twitching.

3. Very good. And I bet Georgie don't know he has a toy version. He probably
shows it to Condi in their hotel room.

4. Oooh, SHINY!
He probably carries it around with him, and shows it when he announces to people that he is "George Bush, President of the United States."

7. It's not a button......
:... it's a phone. And in an emergency Bush always has enough change in his pocket so he can use a pay-phone, and he carries a letter from the Coca Cola company authorizing him to break into the coin box if he loses that 50 cents..
