New Sad commentary is: he's given credit for Not
doing what - evidently - many expected "he would likely do"!

Maybe that restraint IS enough to credit him. For a while, and depending upon such things as follow from..

Clarence Thomas swearing in the new Minister of Homeland Security (today).

New You think that credit is owed to him?
Remember his rhetoric at first? IMO he wanted to do the worst, but those really in power convinced him otherwise. He was his old hot-headed redneck self initially. But I've got to believe cooler heads prevailed. His tone quickly changed, and I don't think that was of his own will.

New Our hope lies in a Fact:
(Well - as much a Fact as any hearsay from corroborating witnesses, I guess)

When Nixon was suicidal, Kissinger 'arranged' that any "use of the Football" would not happen unless _____ (a lot more than Nixon's wish was involved).

We may suppose that any Texas-style barbeque ordered by Dubya in his cups - might be short-circuited.. Can't go so far as to suggest *will be*, o'course..

That's the breaks - when 5 Repos select a CIEIO, so they can retire with country in "hands just like ours".
