They’d fire his ass. Unlike government work, in the private sector there’s no tenure when you fuck up the bottom line.

The thought chills me, though. I'm not sure democracy can function if a total incompetent like GW can't be brought out of power. Can you imagine him as the CEO of a Fortune 500 company?? But as Mencken said, Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard. Maybe people really want Bush–they don’t want him out.

I'm sort of in shock. Oh well, tomorrow congress may vote on it, and maybe either way it will make the friggin' papers. MWD 24 hours later:

Probably one of the only congresscritters the Dems could get to stand up there & deliver that speech. I'm not saying that most of the allegations wasn't true, its just I think they used him as a straw man to say what needed to be said. If there was any political blow back they had political cover. "Hell, it's Kucinich; he's crazy." The fact the mainstream media didn't pick it up pretty much guarantees that the congress wont pursue it very aggressively. I don't think this will ever come out of committee, assuming it makes it to committee. Although it is nice to hear truth being spoke to power, even if it is being ignored. RD Kucinich is a joke.

So, I hadn't heard anything about this. Anyway, will look forward to future developments. Kinda ashame that nobody took this up a couple years ago. Oh, well.
