Ruling Family Mortality Alert... [View all]

[Ken Burch]

Bush the First's condition is clearly worsening...be prepared for the end to come fairly soon, I think. And be careful of what we say and do.

Not so much because he'll be missed here(although his son's terms did end up inspiring some ironic nostalgia for No. 41's era) but because Faux and the rest will use Bush's passing and our reactions to it for their own base mobilization needs.

They'll be using this to try to seize control of the debate and delegitimize Obama's second term(just as they used Nixon's death to help force Clinton into line behind their agenda).

And they'll be looking for any less-than-appropriate(or even appropriate but not-deferential-enough-to-suit-them) comments to use as fauxrage-bait.

Just a heads up...not that anybody here needs to be reminded, but thought it should be said.
We all KNOW what these guys are like at times like this.
