something else dawned on me

his press conference yesterday pretty much summed up what he thinks he is: an arrogant egotistical self-righteous punk.

In all, Bush uttered nearly 7,000 words in his 45-minute Q&A. But his message could be summed up with a brief phrase in his least-favorite language: L'Etat c'est moi (I am the state).

His approval of a program to eavesdrop without warrants: "As I stand here right now, I can tell the American people the program is legal," he certified.

[as if there is nothing above him]

His refusal to release photos of him with Abramoff: "They're not relevant to the investigation."

[again, there is nothing above him]

His view on congressional anti-torture legislation: "Conducting war is a responsibility in the executive branch, not the legislative branch."

His refusal to provide Congress with testimony about the federal response to Hurricane Katrina: "That's just the way it works."

[and again, he maintains there is nothing above him - he is the supreme one, the king, the most powerful man on earth and nobody can touch that]

God he makes me ill.
