Let's make LBJ's haunting dream George Bush's!

[H2O Man]

There are rumors that the president is under significant stress, and that his emotional state is becoming shakey. While there is a possibility that this is being slightly enhanced by our desire to see the old boy freak out the next time MSNBC's David Gregory asks,"How about the grand jury investigation of the Valerie Plame leak?" .... I think that he has looked a bit frazzled. It reminds me of what can happen to a Texas president. Remember how by late 1967, LBJ was telling his closest associates that during the days, he was frequently thinking of Woodrow Wilson's last 18 months in office, "stretched out upstairs in the White House, powerless to move, with the machinery of the American government in disarray around him." By early 1968, LBJ had a reoccurring dream "of being chased on all sides by a giant stampede ... I was being forced over the edge by rioting blacks, demonstrating students, marching welfare mothers, squawking professors, and hysterical reporters. And then the final straw. The thing I feared from the first day of my presidency was actually coming true. Robert Kennedy had openly announced his intention to reclaim the throne in the memory of his brother. And the American people, swayed by the magic of the name, were dancing in the streets."

Let's reclaim the throne!

[I thought so.]

1. RFK.

What an asshole. Worked for McCarthy. Headed the "Kill CASTRO" project.(Operation Northwoods) Carpetbagged his way into a senate seat in New York. (protect Teddy) JUST ANOTHER SMARTASS.

2. you thought thus:

Most republicans really liked McCarthy, and hated Castro. It must be hard for even an undercover republican to pretend otherwise.

3. I'm not charmed by RFK either

and I am *no* Republican!

Don't look at RFK too closely, you won't like what you see I suspect. If that makes me a Replicant or a Freeper in you eyes, then you are deluded...

Now, on to the Criminal Bush*----I'd like him tried and executed for treason. Today.

[merh]

4. Okay, let's not miss the meaning of the original post....

Let's take back our country! May weed boy be having hellish nightmares and may they include Raygun reaching from his stately rest to grab his neck and pull him into the fires of hell!

War criminal, traitor, demon == weed boy

5. Speaking of delusions....

or simple confusion: you identify yourself as a "wellstone democrat," and then say a foolish and ridiculous thing about wanting someone executed. I suspect that I know quite a bit more about Robert Kennedy than you, little buddy. Just as an example -- Robert was, for much of his life, an obnoxious little prick. But he grew. And by the end of his life, he was a great man. Think about this: Malcolm X was a hoodlum, a drug addict, and a pimp. Now, if someone told me that if I looked closely at Malcolm, I wouldn't like him because of that early life, we would agree that person was blind and a fool. Because we have to allow people to grow, and to develope. And so I hope you grow and develop into the "wellstone democrat" you wish you were .... and I'll certainly overlook the silly things you said here today!
