NO ONE MENTIONED SENDING BUSH TO THE HAGUE FOR A NICE TRIBUNAL

Last Call, a political daily on Capitol Hill, asked its readers what they would do with George Bush is they became president. The answers showed what a diverse readership they have.

* whatever would annoy liberals the most
* name him special assistant to the president in charge of funny nicknames (or: Give him a cool nickname like "Donkey Punch" or "Taco")
* name him Ambassador to Cote d'Ivoire to watch him pronounce it
* "I would sculpt any Bushes in my administration into decorative topiary art"
* name him Ambassador to France
* make him White House Tee Ball Honorary Commissioner

* appoint him Secretary of Beer Pong
* put him in charge of making sure we never forgot Poland
* send him to FEMA (Heck of a job, Bushie!)
* War Czar
* Crawford Park Ranger
* bike trail tester
* bring him out when my own numbers fell, to remind people, "Look how far we've come"
* name him Official Brush Clearer
* have him investigate wtf is up with Crispix cereal
* coordinate his clothes to the Terrorist Threat Level
* buy him a canoe
* make him rush chair
* name him L.A. County Sheriff.

Oh that thing about War Czar... It reminds me of this line I read at lunch today. It's from Michael Scheuer's book, Imperial Hubris-- Why The West Is Losing The War on Terror.

The president even appointed a terrorism czar-- a sort of "blusterer-in-chief"-- to deflect the media from the president and give a postattack impression that Washington had an effective counterterrorism policy.
