Political threads at Peter David's blog are a never-ending source of amusement, as they tend to devolve (from a pretty low point to begin with) into an orgy of generally ill-informed reactionaries and partisans (with a few notable exceptions) screaming at each other in increasingly shrill voices. This gem from PAD himself, though, strikes me as downright perverse:

Part of me is really hoping Bush is reelected.

Why? Because, without exception, every second term presidency in the past fifty years has become overwhelmed by scandal, misdeeds and wrongdoing on every level. Right now Bush still has defenders. If history holds--and considering the multiple debacles already in progress--a second term would be a fiasco of such epic proportions that even his most devoted apologists would have to throw in the towel. Granted, there won't be much left of the country, but hopefully the Democrats following him can rebuild.

Second term of Bush: Bring it on.

So let's get this straight: In PADland, George W. Bush is absolutely positively the worst person who ever lived and is snookering the nation into following him into the mouths of Mammon, madness, and misery...and PAD wants him to get re-elected just for yucks.

Peter David: WHAT THE FUCK?
