For which we should no doubt be thankful. Even questionable
leadership is better than being a banana republic ruled by rable.


As opposed to oligarchy run for the rich and ruled by a semi-literate
buffoon like Bush?

Absolutely yes. If the (so called) rich are well taken care of, there
are better crumbs for everyone else and you still get to vote them out
of office in a constitutional manner at some point. Ruled by rable,
who knows what you get other than chaos and instability. Be careful
what you ask for. We almost had a taste of banana republic politics
during the Clinton administration.
