It couldn't be scripted better! ;)

The Bush Administration, a 3 act play.

ACT 1, The 2000 Election

G.W. Bush, Texas governor, son of the 41st President, rises from the ashes of alcoholism and baseball team ownership and remarkable odds to become the 43rd President of the USA. On election night, he actually loses the popular vote, but wins due to the Electoral College. The fate of the election lies in the hands of Florida, where voter disenfranchisement, and hanging chads rue the day. In Bush's corner is his brother Jeb, the Governor of Florida. Al Gore insists on 3 recounts, all of which have Bush winning. G.W. moves into the White House and promises to unite the country and make America the Beautiful.

Insighting incident - September 11th, 2001 Terrorists hijack 4 planes and attack America on it's own soil. The country unites in spirit and we all join together. America goes after Bin Laden in Afganistan.

END OF ACT 1

ACT 2, The WAR

In an effort to proper the doctrine of regime change, the Bush admin moves forward to invade Iraq, because Saddam has WMD (of course) and he will soon be handing them over to the highest bidder. America's fighting forces invade in an unprecidented attack and whoosh Hussein out of Bagdad in record time. Six months pass before any serious violence begins to occur regularly. No WMD are found, and speculation runs rampant as to the real motivation behind the invasion. The American public, still weary of the 9/11 sucker punch, give Bush some grace.

Time passes, and like a badly written TV Drama, more questions are presented than answered. Patience is feigning and the country begins to split. "Stay the course" or "Cut and run". Many actually believe that Bush is an evil genius and architected the 9/11 attacks, and many others believe (mostly the same ones) that he is a monkey and couldn't unzip his pants without help. At any rate, Bush's popularity sinks to new lows.

With the looming November Midterm elections, Republicans decide to distance themselves from Bush, saying "Not ME!" and Bush continues to "Stay the course" (although he decides not to use that term anymore) and even though there are calls for Defense Secretary Rumsfeld to resign, Bush insists he will be onboard until 2008.

Scandals insue. Republicans are great, Democrats are terrible. Democrats are the ones who will get the country back on track, Republicans are too busy at the country clubs to care about anything. Saddam gets sentenced to death by hanging, and some Church leader likes guys and drugs. G.W. mocks Nancy Pelosi and her desire for nice curtains in her expected new office.

The result of the Midterm election leave the Republicans battered and bloody. They lose control of the House and Senate. Rumsfeld resigns (which is now played out as "we were gonna do it but we couldn't tell you before the election"). Bush offers Pelosi the numbers of some interior decorators and sets up meetings to play nice with the Democrats (who still haven't presented their "plan" on how to fix the country).

END OF ACT 2.

What will ACT 3 look like?
