The Loony Left has it Right

The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution begins:

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice...

As a certain segment of our political discourse have constantly reminded us for the past four years, Bush wasn't elected in 2000 - he was se-lected by the Supreme Court. Therefore, all this talk about who's going to run in 2008 are premature - Bush will be able to run for a third term.

UPDATE: Aw, crap. The 22nd Amendment continues:

...and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

Well, one might argue that Bush hasn't "acted as President," but we're going to have a tough time with that "held the office" part. Never mind.
