Just remember that we elected Nixon twice, too, and look how that turned out.

We are sooooooo fucked.
We’re so fucked, soooooooooo fucked.
Fucked, yes we are.

Interestingly enough, there are those who feel that comparing G.W. Bush to Richard M. Nixon does Nixon a disservice.

and i am one of those folks
nixon
was just a little bit safer
for the country then georgy poo
cause the bombs weren't quite as big and as many back then
honey
this shit is scary

sob. alas. Canada looks lovely.

It wasn't as scary when Nixon was elected in 72, but very close. History has a way of repeating itself.

Someone suggested the idea of the blue states and the Canadians forming a union. A differant approach is to deal with Quebec, the French Canadians and their efforts to seperate from Canada. Blue states could adopt French as there language.

let's grab our ankles
and wistfully remember
checks and balances

I think the Nixon comparison is apt. I've said for months now that we are in Nixon Mark II: I think Cheney will resign within two years, scant steps in front of the SEC and the last remaining honest souls in Justice. Bush will pardon him and then go down for war-related lies and for domestic crimes, some probably related to the election.

Nixon himself, as heinous as dishonest as he was, was presidential material. George W. Bush is not, never was, and never will be. He's a little venal man in a big suit, and we are, indeed, fucked.
