Do you think what happened was Bush got appointed to office for his looks or his manners ?

Neither. He's neither good looking or know when to just shut up. George 1.0 put in George 2.0.... and thank god 2.0 can't run for another term.

He will probably sit there with that dumb look on his face like he always does. Like "What just happend here?" Clueless.\nhttp://uplink.space.com/attachments/332996-bush_clueless.jpg

No. I feel that his cronies and his staff do. Bush is merely a puppet. His cronies pull his strings and Bush moves to their whims. He is at fault because as the head man he should be asking questions and I don't think he is bright enough to do this. In fact, his stupidity is what made him appealing to the Republican party. He is a mindless puppet who marches to do whatever his cronies want. He is not bright enough to ask questions or know what questions to ask.

He has been sacked because he was found sleeping and dreaming while on duty. He was negligent towards his duties as he should have been awake as a GUARD. But in reality he would not have been sacked if the President were aware of the power his sixth sense/ability to have dreams which are likely to predict foreseeable future. Any wise man in Power would give him different duty and absorb the talent with reward. 'Right man for right cause...' if the man in power is wise and he normally is, beyond doubt!

Fishy, yes.  Also inevitable.  Oversight and accountability are clearly not tolerated by this administration.  The guy should have known better than to actually do his job!

Yes.  He was very elegant and brought a sense of royalty to the White House.  He did amazing things to help bring world peace.  Not because he forced anyone, but because he was honest and upright and dealt with people as people and nations as groups of people.

I was originally as surprised by this unexpected announcement last Friday as you were, planksheer. But as one of your subsequent questions indicates, we may have the answer: the "new" Watergate scandal. I think goss was up to his neck in the illegal gambling and prostitution ring that was being operated by these upper level ANP swine and bush threw him over the side as soon as his intelligence people made him aware of the facts -- and especially the consequences. \n\nThat said, bush may well not have been happy with his hand-picked appointee's track record at the agency. Reports suggest goss routinely butted heads with old guard CIA officials who basically refused to cooperate with him (and who can blame them?). Clandestine organizations like that operate best when upper level officials are more or less on the same page and no one is out to make waves or set himself up as potentate, as goss apparently attempted to do. We should know more about all of this as leaks begin spouting (i.e., very soon).\n\nAnd I share your concerns about this new appointee, gen. michael hayden. He is thick as thieves with Dr. Evil (aka dick cheney) and that alone is enough for me to wish him to never make it out of committee. The fact that he headed up the illegal domestic spying program would, in normal times, be enough for him not even to be under consideration. Indeed, he'd likely be fighting his way through court trying to avoid prison time. This country -- or at least the government alleged to represent us -- in its present state is clinically insane.

Elect Bush as president.

I have hope for the first time since apeboy sullied the oval office, actually.\n\n______\n\nFor scooter girl:\nClinton had an affair - Bush fraudulently started a war on fake intelligence reports and sent more American people to their deaths than died 9/11.\n\nWHO sullied WHAT and WHOM!? Perspective and priorities, my dear, perspective and priorities.

Clinton actually had America back to work in his first term, the budget was balanced by the middle of his second term and the minute George Bush was appointed the beginning of the end started, even before he took office the country's economy was showing signs of going to hell. It was actually down the tubes by the end of his first term and has progressed even further down the tubes since.

No I don't.  I think he had the misfortune of getting caught.  He did the right thing by stepping down.   He put the presidency first.  Clinton however put himself first.

Clinton didn't accomplish anything as far as I could tell,\nhe was too busy with his sorted affairs. He couldn't even help Al Gore. He probably hurt him more than helped him. It really doesn't matter about his sex life; people were training over here to fly airplanes into buildings on Clinton's watch. Bush has taken the blame for all his shortcomings.

He was voted into office by a LANDSLIDE!!! \n\nMajority of VOTERS wanted him into office!!!\n\nHe is the BEST person for the job!

Considering he made the vow when coming into office, he would bring the most ethical administration....  think the founding fathers would be either laughing or frowning.

Bush Jr.'s heart and spirit burns with American patroism, but his cabinet appointment choices have been nothing less than poor; rife with unqualified and inept people.\n\nNot that this problem is isolated with just the White House, but historic and often tragic events during Bush Jr.'s terms have produced glaring clear evidence that other vital government operated offices our National safety depends on are rife with political brown-nosers whose ineptness adds a dangerous ingredient for a recipe of disaster.\n\nBottom line: I pray as Americans, we learn it's not very wise to elect politically empowered family members to become our President.

Comparing this present Administration, to the Nixon Administration. I would think President Bush was leading in the race for corruption in our Country today.
