Future Unpopular Acts in Bush's Second Term

[Beestie]

I'm not sure how controversial it would be but I am hoping for some tort reform at least in the area of medical malpractice. There has to be some kind of check and balance installed that penalizes trivial lawsuits and caps punitive damages. Personally, I think punitive damages should bypass the plaintiff and the fee split and go directly to a victim compensation fund. That alone would curb a lot of abuse. Senseless lawsuits, obscene "I just won the lottery because my bed pan wasn't changed often enough" awards together with the cost of malpractice insurance premiums are ruining our health care system.

But, to get back on topic, here are some controversial things Bush might do if re-elected:

• Fire George Tenet
• Beat up George Tenant
• Appoint John Kerry US ambassador to Iraq.
• Allow John Ashcroft to come to work wearing nothing but a white robe, a bishop's hat and a staff.
• Unpardon all of Clinton's last second pardons, then repardon them then unpardon them again just to screw with them.
• Sell the naming rights to the White House and keep the money.
• Invade Cuba and arrest Castro for his ties to Iran.
• Classify Al Franken as an enemy combatent and send him to Guantanamo for a couple years.
