Having grown up in a small logging town, I have seen (and participated in) a fair number of fistfights. Enough to see a pattern. After about 30-60 seconds, if they're still going on, they get boring. The ones that proceed properly are finished in a half-minute. The way this happens is that somebody starts hitting the other guy in the face and he doesn't stop until it's finished.
Ive watched and played in a good number of chess matches also. Same thing, except for the time frames. Often, the way a chess match is won is that one guy gets the other guy on the run. He gets the other guy to make a purely defensive move, and then he keeps that other guy back on his heels.
I think it's going to be a long 21 months for Mr. Bush. My strong suspicion is that he's neither a good fistfighter nor a good chess player.
But the best part is that, along the way, something exciting may happen. An insider talks. A computer is confiscated. And a house of cards comes crumbling down. This could be very fun. In the meantime, Dubya can expect an unbroken string of investigations. Clinton got a hummer and we know that now, thanks to many months and years of relentless attacks and investigations by Republicans. I think Dubya's got more exciting secrets than Clinton had.
