Could Bush have done worse if he'd tried?

How did such ordinary-looking men -- seemingly unable to carry out even the smallest nonpolitical tasks of governing -- succeed in doing such extraordinary and lasting damage to our country, our military and our body politic in so few years?

They never won a presidential election, but I will concede that perhaps they won the popular vote in 2004.

But the only reason they even had a shot at stealing either election was because of the Southern Baptist churches and similarly "faith-based" evangelical and fundamentalist churches in the South and elsewhere who basically promoted this dimwit and his Svengali as a kind of American "Second Coming."

It's ironic indeed that the demoniac Cheney has achieved power via the balloting of religious nutcases, because I can almost guarantee that when he hears "second coming," he thinks of what his ED pills do for him.
