Learning from the Bushists

Run the government as your own private fief to fill with unqualified cronies. Check!

Refuse to cooperate with a lawful inquiry into your administration. Check!

Ignore subpoenas. Check!

Claim that the investigation is a partisan witch-hunt (despite support for it from Republicans in your own home town!). Check!

Try to run out the clock so that the voters don't have the information they need and deserve. Check!

Sarah Palin gets Bushism. If you've enjoyed the past eight years of unaccountability, McCain-Palin is your ticket.
