One searches for a gesture of such a stature to rise to capture the essence of the event at hand. Art is supposed to do this. I have been noodling around and think that a number of people, designated by a drawing from online volunteers, find their way to Washington DC for the Inauguration. In accordance to the rules, they then take their places along the Presidential parade route. When the newly sworn in President rides by, they rise to "moon" him, each having painted a consecutive number on their posterior adding to the total of the tally. I think that would do nicely. Especially if Bush pulls it off. Assuming, of course, there is an Inauguration. The other thing is the Senate. I think that Joe Leiberman has a decision that I doubt even he has considered. I mean, resignation from the Vice Presidency to take his Senate seat for Connecticut. If he becomes Vice President, the governor of Connecticut will appoint a Republican and the 50-50 tie will go to that side. If he quits and keeps the seat he rightfully won, the tie remains and his predecessor Vice President become the tie breaker. Consider the two alternatives: Gore and a dead locked Congress; Bush and a stacked deck Congress. The only hope is that Gore wins the Presidency (eventually) and Leiberman gets the Senate side to the Democrats. Then the veto controls the exuberance's of the House and the Senate becomes the seat of legislative initiative. Else, the Bush veto gets no over rides, the House makes breathing without a license illegal, and the Senate becomes a rubber stamp. Get my drift?
