This Explains Why We're Screwed

As far as I’m concerned, Dubya entered “25th Amendment” territory with this latest cringing moment of idiocy. For him to make this statement indicates to me that he is completely divorced from reality at this point.

The 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, by the way, provides for the executive branch of the government in the event of the death, resignation, or either temporary or permanent incapacity of the President of the United States while in office. However, assuming that Dubya would never voluntarily relinquish his official office, Section 4 indicates that “the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide” would make the determination that Dubya, at long last, needs to go.

And we know how much chance we have of “Billion Dollar Cheney” (this has sound) and the Bushco cabal committing political suicide, don’t we?

Update 8/8: Take the hint, Dubya (I can dream, can't I?).
