Poor George - Iraq, Katrina, Rita, Harriet - when it rains it pours; he can’t seem to do anything right.
Iraq just won’t go away. Every couple of weeks George feels it essential to find some military unit he hasn’t spoken to about the war (finding that squad gets harder and harder) and proclaim that we’ll stay the course. The next day Democrats and even some Republicans beat him about the head and shoulders and polls are taken showing him still lower after each effort.
Katrina and Rita appear to be developing into multi-year drags and now we find out that Floridians still haven’t recovered from the hurricanes that roared through the Sunshine State last year.
Harriet, poor Harriet, she’s served George faithfully for a decade and when he decides that he’ll recommend her for an iddy biddy government job, his most loyal supporters jump on him like he’s a jackass. Why just days ago they were proclaiming that George should be able to name anybody he wants to that little sinecure. But when he does: GOTCHA!
While the Democrats are totally befuddled when it comes to any subject, at least they can count on George to stop them from self immolating. Where would they be without him?
Most of the Dems voted to support his adventure in Iraq, but he’s been a complete failure in pinning that tail on their donkey.
At least Harry Reid’s got it right about Harriet; he keeps saying nice things about her while George’s conservative base goes ballistic. It looks like the Dems are enjoying damning Harriet with faint praise which seems to set George’s buddies off again. By the time the Judiciary Committee Republicans get through beating up on Harriet, the minority members will simply join with a three or four on the other side and send her back to the White House on a platter with an apple in her mouth. “Gee whiz, if she ain’t good enough for the Republicans, who are we to support her?”
Gosh, wouldn’t it be great to be clearing brush on the ranch? How’d he ever let those boys talk him into running again? Lame duck? Golly, he can’t even waddle on one leg.

Your use of "self-immolation" is redundent, Bill. Immolation means to destroy oneself by fire, therefore obviating the need of using "self".
Grammatically yours, GVT
Surely Gordon according to the Sam's Bar and Grille dictionary which you must have been using that would be the case, but if you'd spring for a Webster's Collegiate you'd find that is incorrect. But then Sam's Bar serves better booze. B2
