Not that groupies wouldn't be nice.
I wish I were president. Not for the power, not for the groupies, but for the ability to get away with shit that no other person on earth can get away with.
Bush screwed up on the Dubai deal. He should've said "oops, my bad!" and backed down. Americans are a pretty forgiving lot. We'd have 'vetched about it for a couple of weeks and then went back to debating the pros and cons of torture.
But what does he do? He complains that 70% of the American population's opposition to the Dubai deal is ruining his diplomacy with the UAE. Never mind that what we're getting upset about is that they bypassed the mandatory investigation. It doesn't matter if it's a middle eastern company or our very own Halliburton.

Doesn't your boy, Willy, agree with the present prez on this one?
Bush screwed up on the Dubai deal.
Not at all. As with the Harriet Miers nomination we were softened up. The ugly suitor (Miers) was replaced at the last moment with the much more handsome suitor (Alito). And so it is with DP World. Who's the new suitor? Can't you guess? I speculated at Blognonymous.
I think it's way too messy to have been planned. He was probably hoping that nobody would be paying attention to some boring old port.
And w/ regard to Bill Clinton,
Man, just because I'm a democrat doesn't mean that I have to agree with Bill Clinton about everything. I didn't even vote for him.
The dubai deal, if I am not mistaken, does it not say in the leftist bible that all arabs are friends, bush is alienating the arab world )verse 3:16), then why is everyone against the dubai deal all of a sudden?? when has national security been a priority madam?...
pssttt: what do I have to do to get you my old friend to the right side of the world?
