Bush had it pretty easy as President

The "Judicial Confirmation" groups, the organizations that demanded the Senate give each and every one of Bush's Judicial Nominees, are winding down in Bush's last year as President. One group is little more than one page now. Guess these groups don't want to be around just in case the President isn't a Republican anymore, eh?

The 'liberal' media is also undergoing changes. William Kristol is going to be on the New York Times, I hear Karl Rove is getting a deal with Newsweek, and we'll probably see other allies of Bush getting media deals too.

Sure, we little people gave Bush a hard time, but the institutions didn't. Whole potential scandals, the Downing Street Memo, an email by Jack Abramoff claiming that there would be an upcoming war in Iraq even before Bush started talking about war being a "last resort", the Energy Task Force, and the Office of Special Plans and White House Iraq Group are long gone. It may be unfortunately too late to give those things a good investigation.

It can be assured that the next President won't have a network of "Judicial Confirmation" groups to help him get people on the bench nor will he or she have a complicit media like how Bush has had since he entered office.

he's been given a pass on just about everything.

To screw things up as bad as he did takes more than simple incompetence. It took deliberate effort.

you are willing to:

- kill hundreds of thousands of innocents,
- send in the US military jugernaut wherever you feel like it,
- spy upon and torture/detain those who oppose you,
- have the other branches of Government and the Democratic party support you,

and do it all with an "Aw, Shucks" country bumpkin routine, what do you expect... protests?
