Tonight, Mr. President, you will squirm.

You will squirm when you begin your address by saying "Madame Speaker" when raucous applause breaks out from the majority party, celebrating the first ever woman to be so addressed in a State of the Union speech. It's not going well already, can you sense it?

You will squirm when you realize that there are more of us than of you.

You will squirm when your plans for Iraq and Iran are met with stony silence by members not just of the majority, but of the minority as well.

You will squirm when the Democrats choose to clap at the wrong time in your speech, when you want them to applaud the line about increasing the troops, but they only clap when you talk about bringing them home.

You will squirm when your aides rush up to you with bad news about what the talking heads are saying.

You will squirm when Jim Webb delivers a powerful rebuttal of your speech, pointing out that your Iraq policies are wrong-headed, and whenever you happened to get something right in the Domestic agenda, it was a weaker version of a better Democratic policy.

You will squirm when the ratings come back proving that most of America tuned out this speech, and those who didn't were unimpressed.

You will squirm, lastly, and most squirmingly of all, when you realize that your Presidency is over. You can no longer control the American people with fear. Your goons can no longer brow-beat moderate Republicans in Congress. Your prized advisor has been proven a fool. You can no longer call on friends to come and visit, as you have become a pariah for anyone with hopes of being reelected. You can only squirm.

Sometimes the most decisive actions come from those with not much left to lose.

Let's hope the Decider's "decisive" action is not to open concentration camps or drop a nuke on Tehran.

He is more likely to nuke the ingrates in Baghdad.

Typical liberal fantasy.  Squirm, my ass.  These guys have no conscience and no shame.  They'll squirm about as much as Hitler and Goering would squirm if some left-winger called them on their racism and anti-Semitism.  They do what they do for their own reasons and don't give a shit how many clever liberal columnists write clever little things about them. 

Until the liberals learn to play hardball the way the fascists play hardball, this game is only headed one way.
