Only a piece of paper....

From this Capital Hill Blue comes this happy tidbit:

GOP leaders told Bush [last month] that his hardcore push to renew the more onerous provisions of the [Patriot A]ct could further alienate conservatives still mad at the President from his botched attempt to nominate White House Counsel Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court.

“I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.”

“Mr. President,” one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.”

“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”

Enjoy the above this morning, with your raisin bran. It's my gift to you.

Alas, I think Bush's aides have learned by now not to say anything that could upset the preznit.

Definitely fire next Wednesday. Actually, fireS: two inside and one out. It's supposed to be not raining and quite chilly, so bring toasty clothes.

Ouch! Looks like W. missed his nap and had a temper tantrum. It is quite a scarry notion to consider that he is doing his level best to undo 200+ years of hard work by conservatives, liberals, and everything in between. I would love for this story to get out in the general media and in the Christian right media, but I wouldn't count on it. The only news print to fit these days is first cleared by Karl Rove.
