Anything Chavez can do, Bush can do better
With a hat tip to Ace of Spades and Hot Air, apparently the really, really whacko people out there are accusing Republicans of planning to install President Bush as president for Life. The evidence? This entitled Conquering the Drawbacks of Democracy;
President Bush can fail in his duty to himself, his country, and his God, by becoming “ex-president†Bush or he can become “President-for-Life†Bush: the conqueror of Iraq, who brings sense to the Congress and sanity to the Supreme Court. Then who would be able to stop Bush from emulating Augustus Caesar and becoming ruler of the world? For only an America united under one ruler has the power to save humanity from the threat of a new Dark Age wrought by terrorists armed with nuclear weapons.
I guess it takes all kinds to make a world.
Just to be clear, in case you don’t know, I don’t endorse changing the Constitution – except repealing the 17th Amendment -Â so I certainly don’t think that we should change it for President Bush. I doubt President Bush would endorse it either.

Jonn, surely you’re joking… Republicans installing a president for life? Who does this nut think we are? Americans value freedom way too much to let someone stay in power for life. This is completely absurd. I really wonder about some people.
