Dictatorade

Bush says he may need more power.

Bush’s backing for the congressional inquiry raised the possibility that lawmakers might expand presidential authority to:

• Order mandatory civilian evacuations.

• Dispatch U.S.-based armed forces for emergency search-and-rescue operations.

• Grant wider leeway for active-duty U.S. military personnel to carry out law enforcement operations.

Damn! The man really knows what to make when life hands him a lemon. Ask for more power.
