Alberto, you are misunderestimating Bush and his powers to cause hilarity in others :-)
Beware people, if you keep doing that misunderestimation, he'd get to be reelected once more ... and perhaps deserve it. You don't believe that can happen?
Take Menem as a sobering example, just across the border from Brazil... (Explanation for non-South-Americans: Menem, an Argentine politician now famous for suspected corruption, pulled off a constitutional amendment allowing his reelection. People liked him enough for that.)
There was idle talk of amending the constitution after both Reagan's
and Clinton's second terms to allow three or more terms, due to their
popularity. Frankly, I think we're about as likely to see the constitution
amended to allow Arnold Schwarzenegger to run as we would be to allow
a third term for Bush.

At least I'd believe *his* bad-ass act.
