Rule 16-1c provides temporary relief to tide us over as we push Congress to grow some balls and table the Impeach Bush Bill
USGA RULE 16-1C: Bush didn’t count. When attempting to reconcile the idea that the country actually believed this clown, the American is permitted to pretend that he actually never existed, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.
One Presidential Mulligan per century. Take advantage of this one. It can't get any worse.
Unless the Committee has adopted the One President Condition of Executive (see Appendix I; Part C; Section 1m) this optional condition (usually referred to as ‘The Presidential Mulligan Rule’) is generally adopted only in events that are limited to Americans who can barely stand to live in a country that would elect a moron like Bush. Twice.
Generally, this condition of competition is not adopted in red states. However, this is because someone has to forgive them. Thus, the Presidential Mulligan rule.
