From Texans For Truth:
George Bush knew victory in Texas, and he knew how to give a victory salute.
In fact, this paradigm of morals knew how to give a special, one-fingered victory salute.
Click here to watch the real George Bush really flip you off.
This was captured on film while Bush was governor of Texas. Remember, this is after being born-again. This is representative of what he’s truly capable of, namely, flipping off Texas.

“Today George W. Bush made a very compelling and thoughtful argument for why he should not be reelected. In his own words, he told the American people that “…a political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your Commander in Chief.”
“President Bush couldn’t be more right. He jumped to conclusions about any connection between Saddam Hussein and 911. He jumped to conclusions about weapons of mass destruction. He jumped to conclusions about the mission being accomplished. He jumped to conclusions about how we had enough troops on the ground to win the peace. And because he jumped to conclusions, terrorists and insurgents in Iraq may very well have their hands on powerful explosives to attack our troops, we are stuck in Iraq without a plan to win the peace, and Americans are less safe both at home and abroad.”
“By doing all these things, he broke faith with our men and women in uniform. He has let them down. George W. Bush is unfit to be our Commander in Chief.”

Acting as a steward for the world and engaging in police actions and nationbuilding apparently doesn’t include allowing people from other countries to read your website.
Also, I swear to God Bush said this today:
A political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your commander-in-chief,

I told you this was going to happen.
Seriously, no wonder Britain was all a tizzy about this. Oh, also, Bush would like $80,000,000,000 more dollars for wars, k thx.

I was all worried about Bush having to navigate appointment hearings if Rehnquist dies or steps down for health reasons.
I forgot about the possibility of recess appointment, which would apply since Congress is in recess.
Guess what a recess appointment doesn’t require? An approval process.
The US News and World Report is circulating an email which contains reporting about the Administrations current musings:
“Even though the U.S. Supreme Court has said Chief Justice William Rehnquist will return to the bench following cancer surgery, administration officials are quietly considering candidates to replace him and even the possibility of making a recess appointment. The officials said that they do not want to talk about the process publicly in the last week of the presidential campaign. However, one insider said that the West Wing is considering what would happen if the judge left the bench soon and if a close election next Tuesday meant an evenly split 4-4 court was to decide the winner. Such a situation would likely mean that a lower court’s ruling on an outcome would be final and officials are worried that it would go against the President.”
Slate explains how the recess appointment, an executive power, works. This has officially become my biggest fear. If the administration is talking about it, it is a definite possibility. I would say they wouldn’t have the balls to do this, but you know the punchline.
