Greetings, all,
Without anticipating Robin's response, it seems to me that Bush as a 'plant'
in the quoted sense is right on target.
Having observed US presidencies closely for several decades, I can say that
I have never seen a US President so easily and egregiously manipulated by
others, in this case the Middle East-focused neocons (led by Richard Perle
and Paul Wolfowitz), and the Christian evangelicals (led by Karl Rove).
Counting down to January '09
And then will come the immense but essential job of undoing the damage of
these last eight years and rebuilding a positive role for the US in the
world.

Bush is such a plant, is that what your signature means? Had always wondered
too, was blaming my English.

Why is the shrub always a plant?
I think it is Donk's way of saying that your president (bush/shrub) is
no smarter than any occupant of the rose garden.

plant has second meaning in US slang.

The shrub is a plant.
