George Gets His Groove Back

Probably for the first time since he got TWO coke spoons for his 25th birthday, George Bush II looks like the Cheshire cat who just ate a shit cake. For the first time in over 30 years there are TWO vacancies on the Supreme Court, and the president gets to fill them both. George has got his groove back!

Neither the battle of New Orleans or that old damnditty war in Iraq is gonna subdue his excitement over getting to "conservatize" (as the pres might say) the court a little more. He's so happy, even his Mom is starting to look good.

Since the President is going to try to boost Roberts up to chief to replace his mentor Rehnquist (RIP), now he has to put on his thinking cap, and come up with another selection for Congress to consider. Since his thinking cap is still down at the ranch, he'll have to get one of the old former presidents to fetch it for him. If nothing else, the President is a great employer of ex-presidents. Except Jimmy Carter, of course. He won't even let him in the yard.

Now that the opening of the court's new session is less than a month away, the pressure is on to name a nominee. He will cross his fingers, pray to Jesus, and have to come up with a girl, probably, and one not so righty.

I nominate Greta Van Susteren. She's already in my court!
