A Little Fire On Capitol Hill

It’s Biblical, it is.
If the story of the Bible was still being written (like the NEW NEW Testament) GWB would figure prominently. He would not really be an endearing figure. He’s represented the total decline of a recently great nation. He’s a disaster monkey of the first degree.
I have a question about the $700,000,000,000 bailout that I haven’t seen on the many many blogs I’ve read today: Why can each household get a check for $10,000 (which is our share of the burden) and let US revitalize the damn economy? Instead, we’re all chipping in and giving one giant $700,000,000,000 check to SATAN’S ACCOUNTANT because he asked for it.
Flooding House on Fire INDEED.

“Biblical” in the sense of ‘fire’ & ‘flood’ tales, true; but foremost in that sense of God, Heaven & Earth all being almighty scale.
The image is, imho almost a perfect metaphor. It reminds me of that image from/being the ‘IRAQ’ : of this American, M1A1 Abrams high-tech tank, stuck ~ apparently disabled and abandoned ~ by nothing more than a muddy ditch; a sewage ditch. No Caption Required. The alien invader’s ironclad beast literally stinks in its own irony of being there, sinking.
They, (Iraqis, apparent) stare at this symbol of ‘American Power’, apparent ~ sinking, stinking, in dumbfounded amazement; Their illusions about US… totally shattered => We Are The Hollow Men

Not with a bang, but a whimper.
