What fools we were to think that George W. Bush was an imbecile. It is all so clear now. How he
arranged 9/11 just as the Arab nation suspects—but not as an excuse to invade the Land of the Two Holy Places, oh no. It
was part of a fiendish plan hatched by Karl Rove to boost Mayor Rudolph Guiliani and to scotch the presidential plans of Hillary
Clinton. Then Bush set up the war in Afghanistan and Iraq to
distract the anti-war left. And, of course, he crossed up the Democratic mayors and governors of the Gulf Coast
so that they would blow off their post 9/11 disaster planning and First Responders training.
So it was all a setup. Now that the inevitable hurricane has made a mess of the Gulf Coast we
are waiting for the other shoe to drop. President Bush knows, as he has planned all along, that he will soon be
“forced” by universal demand to appoint Guiliani as Gulf Coast Czar to clean up the mess. How did he
do it? No one will ever know.
And if the socially liberal Guiliani can be the favorite presidential candidate of conservative
Republican women because “he made us safe,” could independent suburban women possibly feel any different?
Might not even a few childless liberal nuns pause in their devotions before the altar of Roe v. Wade and crinkle
the ghost of a smile towards the knightly Rudi?
The brilliance of it. The strategery. The audacity. It is a coup that out-shines in brilliance
the very best efforts of of a Talleyrand, Metternich, or a Bismarck. And it brings to an end the
presidential ambitions
of the Clinton family, at least in this generation.
