A coup d'etat is a situation in which one branch of government seizes control of all other branches. In this case, it would be the executive branch taking control of the legislative and judicial, and by doing so, gaining full control of the military and police force. Even if the Bush administration doesn't do it, the next administration is being built out of the corporate elite of our country so it is not going to be much of a change. Although Prescott Bush was involved in coup plot, he wasn't the only one and many of the sentiments are spread amongst others that still hold a lot of power.
And my point is, even without a coup the government as a whole is an emergent evil entity. So it doesn't matter whether there's a "coup" or not.
