4. Ever had a really long night of drinking and woke up....
....wondering where the hell all the money you had in your pocket went?

I think that's how Bush is feeling right about now. At least I hope so.

16. Well, at least that would be something he's familiar with.
But he came so close to not-quite apologizing that I suspect that he's treading across unfamiliar territory.

6. He spent it, and borrowed a bunch more from his Puke colleagues.
The Harken Energy Co. way!

7. The same thing that happens to any money in George's hands
He pissed it away. Next step: Daddy's friends jump in to bail him out.

11. It was 'fear in the bank'. And then Americans began to realize and
became more afraid on him and his delusional & callow Utopians & Sociopaths.

12. After he gets RoBork on the SCOTUS, there won't be much more need for him.
At that point, they will have an occupation army in all sectors of America. Game over.

14. When was he ever good with money?
He's busted countless businesses and a whole goddamn country. He always thinks he has surplus capital. And Card was too scared to tell him otherwise. Which led him to run out screaming under the Social Security banner and promptly get smacked back into his cage... which was pretty cool.

15. The same thing that always happened to capital placed in his hands.
He's struck a lot of dry holes; and some have exploded in his face.

At least he hasn't tried to trade Sammy Sosa for Tony Blair.
