The Difference Between bush & Nero: Nero Played the Fiddle
history will note that bush, like emperor nero, played the fiddle while the world burned. they will note his many vacations and his similar egomania and entitlement and arrogance and utter disregard for the smelly populace.

1. The populace is more concerned about the pay check and would berate solely
the incumbant and not bother of thinking of events leading up to today (aka the last 25 years' worth of energy policies.)

Expect *co to try to resign and let Kerry win when the time comes. They, unlike the Dems, know how to twist, distort, and kill their opponents. And it's just a game anyway; the corporate elite have the real power.

3. Nero didn't ride a bike because they hadn't been invented yet,
Bush is too stupid to play a fiddle.

6. Fiddles..
.. had not been invented at the time or Nero. Just saying.

It's another one of those moments of "history" that are incorrect.

Wonder how Bush's history will be told?
