Demagogue

At this point I think it's almost a given that Bush tapes all of his conversations.

Bush secretly ordered the NSA to spy on American citizens without a warrant-- you don't say!

Months after the Sept. 11 attacks, President Bush secretly authorized the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on Americans and others inside the United States to search for evidence of terrorist activity without the court-approved warrants ordinarily required for domestic spying, according to government officials.

Under a presidential order signed in 2002, the intelligence agency has monitored the international telephone calls and international e-mail messages of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people inside the United States without warrants over the past three years in an effort to track possible "dirty numbers" linked to Al Qaeda, the officials said. The agency, they said, still seeks warrants to monitor entirely domestic communications.

Combine this with the recent story about the FBI spying on anti-war protesters and you have yourself something along the lines of Nixon II, not Bush II.
