In fairness, it must be said that Bush has grown in the job. Last January he was just a dumb guy for whom the presidency was stolen. Now, through the cynical manipulation of a tragedy, the incompetent dolt who was appointed president is the incompetent dolt who is becoming a dictator.

We should have seen it coming. The next natural move for someone who steals the presidency is to become dictator.

Of course this dictator is incapable of composing his own edicts, but he is becoming better at mouthing the the lyrics.
