After Tuesday's purging of his royal court, King George II promised to stride across the Congressional aisle and work toward a successful bipartisanship. Could it be that after four years of staying the course his comedy of errors could end in a dignified flourish?
Eh, not so much.
Bush took a day to repent for his sins—then put his do-nothing Congress to task.
