This type of thumb-sucking story never seems to go away.
My question is: what difference does it really make if Bush is just a
figurehead
and Cheney is really pulling the strings.
Or, if Bill Clinton was just a figurehead and the Trial Lawyers or the
Israel Lobby was really pulling the strings?
The result is: the government pursues policies and passes laws.
In reality, the goverment is always a kind of "regency", a committee of
powerful
people pursuing poltical ends.
When people vote for a president they know or ought to know that they
are not voting for "personal governance" by George Bush or Al Gore:
they are voting on a "Bush Administration" vs. a "Gore Adminsitration".
