William Kristol, the comedian, told us all a year ago about how the W. Butch Presidency is an unqualified success on every measure -- including winning the war in Iraq, no new terrorist attacks in the U.S. thanks to the personal behind the scenes work of Geo Butch and Dick C., winning in Afghanistan, a vibrant economy...the list goes on and on.
All the problems? Simply set them aside, e.g. "What about terrorism?" Kristol asks. "Apart from Iraq, there has been less of it, here and abroad." What happened to Iraq is safer than California? Billy needs to talk more with his friends and get on the right page. Loss of American jobs? No problem, "Bush has also (on the whole) resisted domestic protectionist pressures ...thereby helping sustain global economic growth." See too many people are looking at the small picture, loss of American jobs, trade imbalance, etc. What's important is global economic growth. What's good for Sinopec Zhnhai Refining and Chemical is good for the U.S.A. The Iraq war in general? It can only be assessed by trotting out a horrorshow of things Saddam Hussein might have done...
So Billy ends his crystal ball gazing by concluding that it all looks good for a Republican candidate to continue in Butch's tracks, just so long as he isn't tainted by having a record in Congress.
