Younge: Bush & Hillary pissing on our legs

Gary Younge of the Guardian compares Hillary's arrogance to Bush's.

Now while I will admit there are some similarities, I am not sure that there is any significance beyond that anyone who would run for President of the US has a rather large ego.

What is Bush's worst trait? Utter contempt for the law? Inveterate lying? Fear mongering? Passing laws to pay off his buddies on the backs of the poor and working class? General incompetence? 'My Pet Goat'?

Hillary's efforts to twist the rules might be a harbinger of contempt for the law, notwithstanding that the primary rules are hopelessly screwed up to start with. The RFK and 3am comments fit with the fear mongering. Paying off pals, well, I can't imagine Hillary doing that. At least, James McDougal might have questioned her competence at it. What, Glass-Steagall was repealed in 1999? You're welcome, Mr. Rubin. General incompentence and 'My Pet Goat' are Bush-only specials.
