I have to wonder why the press went so easy on bushlite all the way through this election. There was talk about them going easy because they did not want the public to think they were attacking the man just because he is a Republican. In other words, they were not going to get the ire up of the conservatives by playing into their hands.
I have another theory, one rather insidious. The press is setting this poor guy up to take a fall. They are going to do this as retribution for all the crap Clinton had to take for 8 years from the Republicans.
Now, I am probably totally wrong (I really hope I am, because Bush's administration is going to be crippled badly enough by this election), but what happens if "revelations" about Bush's business dealings and character start to surface shortly after he takes the oath of office?
Check this website out:
Are these the skeletons the press drags out of Bush's closet????
If only one tenth of this stuff is true, I can see a firestorm of criticism surround the guy and hound him until he is run out of office. And if only one tenth of it were true, why did the press not hammer him with it? I have a real hard time believing that they did not jump all over his DUI, when PBS reported it first during the primaries. There must have been good reason for the press to leave this guy alone.
Then again, if one tenth of the stuff on that web site is true, they are going to sell a LOT of newspapers in the next four years! It is going to be very interesting to see what happens now.
Oh, and before the conservatives light the flame throwers: I know that this website cannot be taken as gospel. I also know that everything on this site cannot be a total fabrication...for a lot of it is backed up in the "traditional press."
