That is EXACTLY what I'm afraid of.

Anyone But Clinton!

In '04 it was Anyone But Bush

The Bush-Clinton cycle continues

But Jeb Bush is a total douche. Surely no one... would...

we're fucked, aren't we?

Shit, Jeb was the one who was supposed to be president. The whole time that Dubya was doing coke and fucking up a series of business, Jeb was being the smart and dutiful one and getting his resume together. I would imagine that he's carrying around a pretty painful dosage of thwarted ambition, particularly now that his brother has inflicted his managerial skills on the entire planet.

haha

I love the advised adoption plan for the Clintons to keep the whole thing going into 2041-2049.

Who says we don't live in a monarchy?

Grrrrrr I'm mad at myself! I made a clever T-shirt depicting this exact phenom 2 years ago. And ever since, I've been saying to myself, I gotta get these out onto the market before somebody else does. Bahh! (I was too flustered to check if they're selling B/C Paraphernalia, but...)

That doesn't count George Bush's VP time, if you want total White House occupancy.

And if we're living in a monarchy it is our own fault. We're willingly electing these dimwits over and over.

And no, luckily Jeb doesn't stand a chance, though his son might if he wants it.

(What I'm scared of is Rick Perry's play to be Rudy Guliani's VP this morning. How transparent was that?)

Hey, Wes, I missed that. What happened?

That perspective seems to be taking partakers of the Bush-Clinton joke pretty seriously. I mean, yeah, there are actual unfortunate phenomena which back it up (20 years of actual Bush-Clinton back-and-forth presidency with a chance at several more years yet), but I like to think that the prospect of it persisting another 40 years is kind of like some Americans' self-deprecating and satirical parody rather than actual paranoia that it's going to continue indefinitely. In other words... Jeb? Yeah, probably not so much, but he helps keep the joke going.

I'm scared of Cheney.

You might also be afraid of Obama.
There is but one ruling family in these United States.

The case can be made that we needn't worry about future administrations run by other people with the name Bush as we do about the continuation of the one we've got now.

W. quietly signed Executive Order #51 (The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive) back on May 9th of this year. It's provisions lead the door wide open to suspension of elections in the case of "catastrophic emergency".

So picture if you will, the U.S. bombing Iran in September of 2008 and due to our being "at war" (which falls under the definition of "catastrophic emergency") Bush suspends elections until such time as an "orderly transition" may be effected). Could be 2009, could be 2017...

Yeah, this theory is probably best left to those in tinfoil hats, but there is a British bookmaker taking bets on whether there will be 2008 U.S. presidential elections or not. Makes ya wonder...
