How to Clintonize Bush

I think the key to getting some of these scandals in gear is to tie them directly to Bush. He has to lie about them in direct (as in straight talkin') questioning. If Bush is perceived as lying, the scandals will sprout new interest. Most importantly, Bush will have invited comparisons to Clinton's finger wagging and Nixon's "I'm not a crook."

Here are lines of questioning that could be used to jump start three scandals. Can you think of any others?

1. Mr. President, yes or no, did anyone advise you that the statement in your pre-war State of the Union concerning Iraq seeking African uranium was in any way uncertain.

If yes, follow-up with "Then why did you choose to say it?"

If no, he may have just lied (which is what we want).

2. Mr. President, yes or no, do you know who in your administration intentionally blew the cover of CIA agent Valerie Plame or do you know of anyone in your adminstration who you believe might know?

If yes, ask who it is and why they have not been fired and turned over to Fitzgerald's investigation.

If no, he may have just lied (which is what we want).

3. Mr. President, yes or no, did you call on Jeff Gannon in that last press conference because you thought he would ask you a friendly question?

If yes, he'll get a laugh out of our press corps.
If no, people will think he is lying.

sraight up "yes" or "no" to any question. He will just hem and haw and ashucks his answer and allow no follow up. If another presstitute had the guts to stand up and follow-up the previously unanswered question his royal highness will undoubtedly end the press conference right then and there.

the press corps won't ask these questions for fear of losing White House press credentials (for them and their organization).

What, did you think we lived in a country with a free press or something?

proves you missed the point of the GOP/MSM propaganda: dems bad, BFEE good. No deviation is admitted.

When I say "Clintonize" I am making an allusion to payback for the "Clintonization" of Clinton. The Republicans turned rationality upside down and put us all in a big fight. IMO, that's the key to their revolution. Their ideas don't make sense for the majority, and they have raised an excessive lack of empathy for others to a high virtue.

Maybe if Bush is Clintonized they will start to see how futile and stupid it is. Maybe it will just continue the spiral. Probably it won't happen, and the worst president in history will skate out of office into a sanitized, golden-age myth legacy a la Reagan.
