If You Buy Bush’s Comparison of Himself to George Washington or His War in Iraq to the American Revolution (Or a Fight Against Terrorism) Call Me.

I have some bridges for sale.

“On President's Day, Bush went to Mount Vernon. He should have thought twice about that.
‘This is the home of the first George W.,’ he said. . . .Bush compared ‘George Washington's long struggle for freedom’ with his own military adventures. ‘Today, we're fighting a new war to defend our liberty and our people and our way of life,’ Bush said. . . .

In his Second Inaugural Address, Washington was clear about what should happen to a President who does not uphold the Constitution.
‘If it shall be found during my administration of the government I have in any instance violated willingly or knowingly the injunctions thereof, I may (besides incurring constitutional punishment) be subject to the upraidings of all who are now witnesses of the present solemn ceremony.’
Washington is a witness for the prosecution.”
