I wonder if they take him out for walks on a schedule or if he scratches at the door of the Whitehouse. Then there are those bills he signs into law, and the people he appoints. Who pulls those strings. Karl Rove? He's an exceptional handler and trainer, but just a hired man.
Who really tells Bush when to pee, who to appoint, what laws and regulations to tear down, what rights to trash? Corporate heads and lobbyists? Wealthy scions of old oil money? Saudi princes? Global financial cabals? The secret players of the WTO, World Bank and IMF? Theocratic fascist American Taliban right wing religious extremists with major TV and radio shows? Probably all of these and more.
They tell him where to devote funds, where to starve aspects of government. They told him to starve New Orleans. They've told him to starve Los Angelese, where the potential for a disaster is "worse than katrina."
As I write this, CNN shows national guardsmen persuading an uncooperative black Labrador retriever into a dog cage. They talk about how now, a big concern of victims of the flood is rescuing their pets. We can be sure that they are better trained than Bush. We can be sure that they do a lot less damage than Bush. Some dogs just can't be trained. Some dogs are trained to be such bad dogs, you can't untrain them.
Bush is a well trained dog, but he's been trained by and he's handled by sociopaths. We have to take this dog out of the whitehouse and put his handlers where they belong. Some say jail.
