We now see just how filled with contempt the boys on the ranch in Texas have become with all of us and our silly little laws and procedures. The General Services Administration says on Saturday that it will not give anyone the keys until all lawsuits are settled in the election. Bush has now said that he cares little for the GSA and their silly rules, because they are so foolish as to believe the election undecided. He is so driven to ram home his victory that, as he did when he wanted to ram home his campaign, he will forego the current federal set up and fund his own transition. Am I the only one curious where his bottomless well of money comes from? Am I the only one that sees two men so doused in oil that they can walk on water when I look at Bush/Cheney? I am concerned that, if he does make it into the White House, that we will see a troubling amount of this attitude during his administration. It seems as though he makes a token effort to work with people, then says screw the lot of you, I'll finance this thing myself. Is this really a vision that looks to bi-partisan politics, or one that promises even greater polarization of the minority opinion (read: not Bush's opinion) in the future?
