1. It is against the law for George W. Bush to run for president again. Reminds me of when Nixon carpet-bombed McGovern, 49 states to 1 in 1972 to win his second term (McG only took Taxachusetts - even lost his own home state of SD). The reaction of the press was, "HAW HAW HAW!! Nixon is a Lame Duck! Lame Duck! Lame Duck! Lame Duck! LAME DUCK!!!" Here he had just won the biggest landslide since about 1820, and all they could come up with to describe this monumental feat was that!

That was when I first heard the term used and understood what it meant.
I remember thinking about why they figured four more years was lame.
