No and no

dick morris, one of those perpetual political consultants and talking heads who never seems to be discredited no matter how stupid he comes across, poses two ridiculously easy questions that even the feeble-minded will have no trouble answering...

Will George W. Bush try to steal a page from Richard Nixon and, reading the handwriting on the wall after a dismal showing in the congressional elections, begin to pull troops out of Iraq by the end of the year? If he does, will it save the Republican Party?

oh, puh-l-e-e-e-e-eze... IF - and it's a super-sized, industrial-strength "IF" - ANY troops are withdrawn by the end of the year, if will be a cosmetic gesture only... there is no way in HELL that the u.s. is leaving iraq... no WAY... and to suggest that such a move could save the republican party is so absurd in the extreme, it hardly deserves the energy spent to comment... the ONLY way the republican party can be saved is with a radical makeover, a makeover that would require disavowing george bush, his band of criminals, and the illegal and unconstitutional tenets of the coup d'etat that began with the scotus decision of 12 december 2000... but the proposition that GEORGE BUSH could SAVE the republican party AFTER trashing all this country AND his own party stands for, is patently absurd... but, needless to say, that won't stop dick morris from nattering on...

If Bush decides to act in this way, he will be doing himself, his party, and the country a big favor. There is still time to rescue the fortunes of the Republican Party in the 2008 election. It is Iraq that is dragging the president’s ratings down and killing his party’s chances in the election. Bush’s ratings on the economy are not bad, and he still draws commendations for his battle against terrorism. If he began to pull out troops, he could begin to recover his personal ratings and move his party up.

[...]

In taking the Iraq issue out of contention in the 2008 election, Bush will have rescued his party from what is now almost certain defeat.

[...]

Without Iraq, Bush has quite a record to present to the country in 2008. The economy seems to be avoiding a recession, unemployment remains low, North Korea seems to be caving in, and the Iranian regime seems to be in real trouble at home.

Bush, after all, did relent and fire Donald Rumsfeld — although too late to influence the 2006 election. Maybe he is getting smart enough to extricate himself and his party from the mess in Iraq.

in your dreams, dickie...

dick morris, professional asshole...

Morris is best known for managing Bill Clinton's successful 1996 bid for re-election to the office of President of the United States. His tenure on that campaign was cut short two months before the election, when it was revealed that he had allowed a prostitute, Sherry Rowlands, to listen in on conversations with the President. Morris then turned his focus to media commentary. He now writes a weekly column for the New York Post which is carried nationwide, and he appears regularly on the Fox News Channel for political commentary.

More recently, Morris has emerged as a harsh critic of the Clintons and has written several books that criticize them, including Rewriting History, a rebuttal to Senator Hillary Clinton's Living History. Morris once joked he will leave the United States if Hillary Clinton were to be elected president in 2008.
