I had a dream... (that Bush followed in Musharraf's footsteps)

Yesterday the media and the blogosphere were abuzz with the news that Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf announced his resignation. This was the culmination of some serious speculation since late last week. Now it's apparently official. Good.

Musharraf resigned under intense pressure and threats of impeachment.

And all this seems to have triggered a dream.

Last night I dreamt that George W. Bush succumbed to his own impeachability and lack of popularity and resigned with a speech similar to Musharraf's. Really. It was beautiful.

Unfortunately, I awoke before I could figure out if Dick Cheney also resigned. If not, he'd make a horrible interim president, to be sure. But at least it would just be very, very temporary -- and hopefully would open the eyes of enough undecided voters to influence them to vote for Obama over more of the same.

Alas, of course, it was merely a dream. It cannot possibly happen, because 1) the Dems don't have the guts to do the impeachment thing; and 2) Bush believes that he is entitled to do whatever he wants without consequence.

But a girl can dream.
