Let me just say that I really, really want Bush and all of his cronies to be beset by a humiliating political scandal that will make Watergate look like a case of someone using the wrong fork at a White House dinner.

Hmmm. Abu Graib. Nope. Saudi gladhanding immediately post-9/11? Nope. LYING IN ORDER TO START A WAR? Nope.

I think if Bush raped a puppy on live TV and then ate it alive, people would be all "Awwww....he likes animals."

I honestly don't know what it'll take to bring him down.

Yes, but I want there to be massive public humiliation, dammit!

Me too. But it ain't gonna happen. Not unless aliens and/or Jesus shows up and says, "Stop sucking! Stop fucking things up!"

It wouldn't matter. They could find Jeb and Dubya in each other's arms, separated only by the orifices of a horny donkey, and crystal meth all over them, and the media wouldn't touch it.

Depressing.

This makes me weep with laughter. And, sadness, 'cause, true.

And if we have to have them, can't we pick the Kennedys instead? They're prettier, smarter, and better tabloid fodder

As a MA resident, I can only inform you that Ted Kennedy does NOT fall under the "prettier" category. God love him, though. Ted Kennedy, reviled by conservatives, my senior Senator!

Oh please, oh please, oh please...

Okay, this is my new favorite fantasy scenario, except for the part where I really don't ever want to visualize it. But the headlines in my head are pretty sweet.

Heh. Heheheheheheh. The only question would be, which Bush gets which end of the horny donkey?

Very blasphemous comment whitefonted b/c I know it's a big line-crosser for some: If Jesus returned and Dubya raped HIM, the media would be all "See?!? He LOVES Jesus!"

IMHO, they have already done several things which individually should have been bigger scandals than Watergate....

tommyrot (and Jessica and Steph and....) all beat me to it, but yeah, I've been wondering if in this day and age, given the huge media aparatus that's either owned by corporate interests, or flat out a wing of the GOP (Faux News, anyone?), if Watergate could have broke the way it did back in the day.

I'm sure Nixon vs. Bush in the "likeability" department would be a mitigating factor as well. Nixon had a lot of personal negatives that people on a number of different sides were looking to attack/exploit. Policy-wise, at least domestically speaking, I'd take Nixon right now over Bush (any Bush, but especially the current mouth of Sauron) in a heartbeat.

Granted, you could argue that Nixon's domestic policy would be a lot less liberal if he'd had the current cultural climate.

eta, ooooh, onesies!

Steph, it might be line-crossing, but I think it sums up just exactly how rightwing the media. Because I think that's exactly what they'd say.
