Did W actually try to do some good?? [View all]

[Deny and Shred]

There is little to admire about the guy or his tenure as President; however, I have always wondered about a couple things he did. They seemed less-scripted at the time, which fits my notion.

I literally just woke up, which ought to explain things. A few hours ago, I was watching Robert Carlyle in a quality docudrama called Hitler: Rise of Evil. I fell asleep during. I think dreaming to the audio may have influenced my thoughts and dreams on this one.

Considering the degree of lock-step-ness of the GOP that his admin commanded in the 2000's, did it seem weird to anyone that he commuted Scooter's sentence? The other one that caught me off-guard as to what-is-he-thinking was that State of the Union where he stated (mumbled) the USA's addicted to foreign oil. Both are areas of Cheney's backyard.

Maybe, just maybe, W was the patsy. An electable good ol' boy who was thrust into the fray. Who eventually realized Cheney played him, and DID represent the Dark Side of which he spoke. (afterall, W was a born-again guy who thought in absolutes.) Was W a guy who eventually felt like he was used as a pawn. A guy who tried, ineffectually, to do something about it.

I mean, seriously, what were his reasons for those way off-GOP-message actions?

I welcome your musings
