Lots of folks are rubbing their hands together with glee at the lowness of GW's approval rating. They take delight in the way Republicans are breaking rank and criticizing the administration. Some folks see it as a sign that the wall is tumbling down.
Not me.
GW is in his final term and Dick Cheney is not running so he's free to do as he pleases. The cynical in me thinks that he will do (as he has done) everything in his power to enrich his friends (the haves and the have-mores), stifle dissent, democracy, freedom, and free speech in this country. The man sees the world through green-colored glasses with dollar signs etched all over them.
As for the rest of the Republican Party, of course they distance themselves from GW! But be not fooled, it is likely to be an act of rebranding. Read the fine print. Check and see if they vote to appoint his nominees and pass his initiatives. 'cause talk is nothing. Votes - that's what counts.
