Thanksgiving is next week, and President Bush could make it a really special holiday by resigning.
Seriously. We have an economy that’s crashing and a vacuum at the top. Bush — who is currently on a trip to Peru to meet with Asian leaders who no longer care what he thinks — hasn’t got the clout, or possibly even the energy, to do anything useful. His most recent contribution to resolving the fiscal crisis was lecturing representatives of the world’s most important economies on the glories of free-market capitalism.
Putting Barack Obama in charge immediately isn’t impossible. Dick Cheney, obviously, would have to quit as well as Bush. In fact, just to be on the safe side, the vice president ought to turn in his resignation first. (We’re desperate, but not crazy.) Then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi would become president until Jan. 20. Obviously, she’d defer to her party’s incoming chief executive, and Barack Obama could begin governing.

They’ll resign when you give up all pretense of being a writer.
What a surprise that the NYT doesn’t believe in Constitutional government.
They won the election and still that's not enough.
Not only has the democratic party contributed heavily to this economic spiral, but the NYT can't even see it, or refuses to see it.
Make a real special holiday for whom? Not those who ELECTED them. Or do elections still count, dear NYT? Or do voters? Is it just you and the guy who wants to win, and we are the Irrelevant Little People?
As I suspected ...
gail Collins should be sent to the ‘Time Out Box’ at the revolving door loony bin she lives at.
Well, their own stock is now relegated to junk status by Moody’s.
There’s a silver lining behind every dark cloud.....
I think President Bush should resign January 19th, making Dick Cheney the 44th POTUS and screwing up ALL of Hussein’s printjobs.
Yep... and with that kind of writing by the NYT, it isn’t going anywhere fast.
A company that is probably in line for a bail out has no credibility.
ROFL! ;^D
Patience my friend. The show trials start on January 21, 2009.
They may even go ahead and arrest President Bush right there at the Inauguration.
Which is why, when I see the "I'm stocking up on ammo" posts they make perfect sense to me.
The NYT crowd knows what they did ~ they just want to get on with the coverup sooner ~ so they can line up for their own bailout without worry that somebody starts asking tough questions.
This woman is a paid writer? They printed this in a public newspaper?

Rove does not think Bush and Cheney will be arrested. I’m not so sure. Rove is rational.
What a Dumb-Broad!
Nothing unbalanced here. I seem to remember the NYT calling for Clinton to step down early so Bush could take over during the 4th quarter recession of 2000.
Don’t you all remember that? {/sarc}
