As I listen to GOP hipsters prattle on and watch, with frustration, a new President grappling with the need to be in full stride from Day One minus 90, I'm reminded of this innocent post title:
What should Bush do now?
The answer to which might be that he could have left early, turning over the Treasury staff and more to the next in line, since he was leaving an empty refrigerator and a leaking roof. (Maybe the reason he was so "classy" was because he grasped the magnitude of the mess he and Rove planned to dump on their opposition party?)
Afterall, where is the Republican plan for the remainder of the economic crisis that is engulfing us, still?
More money for Merrill Lynch? Zero tax rates? That'll do the trick? Another trip by Paulson's Cash-'n'-Carry guy up to the Hill, to tell the Senators that the Administration is 'studying' the foreclosure problem?
