Hell, he left last year.

Bush can't wait to get the fuck out of there.  He's practically mailed in his entire second term, and with the economy in the shitter I guarantee that he wants nothing to do with the job of fixing it.

Wolf sounded rational for parts of the interview, but there were other parts where she just came off as a whacky conspiracy theorist.  How many times did she say "I was told this last night" without citing any source whatsoever?  She even admitted multiple times that she hasn't verified the information that she's somehow received.

A diary here last night told me all about the best place to buy World of Warcraft gold, but I sure as hell wouldn't tell people about that on the radio without verifying the information.

He purchased land in a South American country with lax extradition policies; he ain't sticking around to deal with the headache he caused.

The US constitution, fortunately, defines the exact moment when the power of the executive branch expires (ie. noon on Jan 20).  Any federal judge can swear in the next president.  What we'd have, in other words, is less a constitutional crisis than a meltdown (Bush would have to make the case that he'd somehow suspended the constitution, Obama could start issuing orders as president, and the whole thing would be a huge mess).  

To sum up, this isn't going to happen.  If the constitution contained any sort of clause whereby a president could extend his or her term I'd worry, but there isn't anything (so, just to go for the most obvious point, people in the military, who have taken an oath to uphold the constitution, would know beyond any doubt that Bush was no longer president).

I find political paranoia amusing.

What I didn't get is if the Congress passed the bailout, perhaps giving W new powers, how is that a coup? It would be a coup if it was done by exec order.

Congresspeople are stating that hey were effectively threatened with martial law if they didn't pass the bailout. The bill itself was not the trigger. What Wolf is referring to is the fact that, as of October 1, 2008, the 1rst Brigade of the 3rd Division of the US Army has actually been deployed in the US itself to enforce policy.

This military force, unlike the ordinary police, or the National Guard, has been indoctrinated to follow the direct chain of military command that is controlled by the president. Even if the National Guard is federalized in an emergency, it is still a force that is indoctrinated to follow command from state governments. The 1rst Brigade is a strictly federal unit of three to four thousand soldiers that always follows the federal chain of command.

The use of such federal (central command) troops inside a nation has been the historical turning point at which open societies have become fascist.
