Now that Bush is in the lame duck phase, it is time to answer the really big question: What will happen on the Bart Cop website after the Inauguration?
Will BC-columnists question President Obama if there isn’t a quick move to try Bush for war crimes?
What will Bill O’Reilly say if Bush is tried for war crimes?
Would Bill O’Reilly and Dennis Miller be eligible for consideration for less charges such as collaboration?
Is it time to start writing movie reviews for Bart Cop?
This is more disconcerting and frightening than the Bush era because at least when Bush was pushing the voters around, a columnist knew what had to be done: Bush-bash over and over until many of the folks finally realized that something was going terribly awry and corrective measures had to be taken.
Would the folks in the USA like a column about the fact that in Australia, a person can buy French Fries from a vending machine?

Maybe George W. Bush will bomb Iran while he is still in office and then the bloggers will have something to discuss.
Stay tuned . . .
Bob, after all the slop and sleaze Billo, Hannity and the other miscreants of the Right-Wing Noise Machine hurled at Obama, I think they’ve ‘jumped the shark.’ As Olbermann said the other night, they don’t matter anymore as the audience for their tripe shrinks — they are only preaching to the choir at this point and the choir is shrinking.
Karl Rove made an interesting comment recently about while the wingnuts dominate talk radio, the liberals own the Internet — and he said he’d rather have the Internet.
Even that’s changing, though, along with the presidency — lefties talkers such as Thom Hartmann regularly beat Rushbo and O’Reilly in many markets.
While they still have some influence on what stories the Big Media covers and how they cover them, their clout is shriveling and, once President Obama takes office, I don’t think they’ll be able to ‘take him down’ the way they tried to destroy Bill Clinton.
After all these years of lies and smears, they’ve just, in the words of Howard Beale, run out of bullshit.

Oh, Bart will have plenty to do. The Blue Dog Democrats who voted with Little bush and President Cheney are still there. The Republican filibuster machine is still in place. Cowardly Harry Reid and Nency Pelosi are still running Congress. The Republican Judiciary is still there. There is a lot of treachery around to fight.
Obama will need someone to cover his back As we all know, Bart is the best guy to have in your foxhole.

Sure, bhelverson, and there are still plenty of daffy-dog Republicans and wingnuts talkers around who need to be housebroken, too. Things won’t get dull.
