In the real world, when an employee screws up badly, he's fired.

But in America, he's given a medal or promotion. Or re-elected.

Bush for lack of a better word is our employee, he works for us, as in, we hired him, we pay his obscene salary, we fly him around in luxury and splendor, and he's the biggest screw up ever, yet we have to just sit here and watch him fuck it up more every day and we can't do a damn thing about it.

How screwed up is this? Why doesn't our constitution provide for such a situation?

Oh yeah, it does. Nevermind.

He works for Big Business. He never worked for you. It was an illusion that he did work for you. You're just the last guy at the party who got stuck with the tab.

If he works for big biz, so be it, but we need a guy who works specifically for us. Too Civil Warry?

if we get what we're hoping for, expect to hear about "not putting the American people through a constitutional crisis", "putting the past behind us", "moving America forward again", and "ending the politics of destruction." Some of it will come from the wrong side of the aisle. We've been through it before.

Most of the time, unless the employee deliberate broke some law, he or she is screwing up because of poor or lack of training or doing the work of more then one employee. He or she is probably also stressed out about whether some replacement worker is coming to take their job or the job is just simply shipped off shore. Of course the big vision guys at the company will ever acknowledge these problems when they can pin point an error to Sally in accounting.

.. because the competent, intelligent people know how to get angry and speak out. Employers don't like that. They want hard-working, incompetent, or collusive sheep. That is so true in my workplace it's unreal; but I'm lucky because I can retire, now... which is what I'm planning to do.

walks up to the door and rings the doorbell. He is greeted by a most unimpressed butler. The man informs the butler that he would like to attend the party since it was open to all. The butler informs the man that he would require a jacket to enter and sends him off. The man rummages around in the trunk of his car and returns with a raincoat. The butler, a tad disappointed says he would require a a tie as well and sends him off. The man returns to the trunk of his car and finds a pair of jumper cables and ties the most exquisite knot in them and puts them on. The man returns to the house rings the doorbell and the butler looks him over, appreciates his ingenuity and says, "Ok, I'll let you in, but just don't try and start anything"......

There is no moral to this story, particularly for your thread, but it sounded as if you might need a laugh this morning... :)

These type people group together and we can see it all through history. I do not know why but then we get a great group at times and who knows why. I once read a book on it and I do not recall the name. You can see it in any history of any country you read about, I would say.

...pretend that the employee didn't screw up, and the employee may be allowed to resign "to seek other opportunities." And management hires another employee very much like the last one, hoping that This Year's Model won't screw up in the same way.

So expect honors to continue to be heaped upon *, and a few calls for his likeness to be added to Mt. Rushmore, while Big Money hides a sigh of relief at his departure from the scene, and re-brands another neocon to do its bidding.

they don't apply here...cause we are in bizarro world!
