George W. Bush has got to be ...
one of the most socially imperceptive presidents this country has ever elected. The man looks at reality and filters it through some kind of Texan bullshit machine and everything comes out smelling like roses. If it weren't for the dying involved it would be humorous.
He has the temerity to tell President Putin that: ". ( that Russia could be) ..like Iraq where there's a free press and free religion, and I told him that a lot of people in our country would hope that Russia would do the same," Bush said.
To which, Putin replied: "We certainly would not want to have the same kind of democracy that they have in Iraq, quite honestly."
By the "Mission Accomplished" Bush and "Deficits don't matter" Cheney logic we have become familiar with, today's Iraqi events are merely a bump in the road. To wit:
" Gunmen kidnapped the head of Iraq's Olympic committee and more than a dozen employees Saturday after storming a sports conference in Baghdad, police said.... Ahmed al-Hijiya, president of the committee, was taken in the assault, which came a day after the coach of Iraq's national wrestling team was killed by kidnappers, said police Lt. Thaer Mahmoud.
... In other violence, Iraqi soldiers and gunmen clashed in Baghdad, leaving at least three people dead and 11 wounded, police said. Seven people were injured in a mortar attack near Haifa Street in downtown Baghdad, blocks from the Green Zone, which houses U.S. and British embassies and the Iraqi government. Similar clashes broke out blocks away, injuring four and killing two civilians. U.S. troops sealed off the area after the attacks, said Iraqi Army Maj. Salman Abdul-Wahid.
... Iraq's parliament voted Saturday to extend a nearly two-year state of emergency in Baghdad for another 30 days."
Who wouldn't want to model their democracy after this success story? Can the leader of the United States of America really be that blind to a crucial situation? Is it his intention to make a man like Putin appear smart? Can anyone really say that they are comfortable with the fact that this guy is in charge of most powerful nuclear war machine known to man?
I'm not comfortable for damn sure. I hope there are enough uneasy souls, like me, in the White House who will hide the 'red' button so Bozo can't find it.

MEXICO (as I see it):
Mexico is a place where one recognizes the value of such things as electricity, sewage and good drainage.
AND
Most Mexicans will cheat at the slightest opportunity. Why? Because they are natural born cheaters? No, because they have passed their whole lives in a system that rewards cheating.

i was watching fox news the other night (because one has to know the enemy) and they were arguing how history will prove bush to be one of the greatest american presidents ever! pwfff! whatever people. i can't believe there are still some out there who believe this!
they praised the lower unemployment rate - never mind the fact the povery line is rising to include more households.
they praised his 'accomplishments' in iraq - hey people turn around! you forgot about korea.
they praised his role in creating a 'healthy and robust' economy - aren't more people getting into outrageous debt because they can't afford daily life? (isn't this eventually going to jump up and bite america in the ass?)
i'm simply befuddled.
it's not just the moronic president my friend. he is, unfortunately, with company.
Yeah, it's scary to imagine that half the country is on board with this administration.
All I can say is I'm glad I'm in the half that I am.
'The man looks at reality and filters it through some kind of Texan bullshit machine and everything comes out smelling like roses' -Love this.
'I hope there are enough uneasy souls, like me, in the White House who will hide the 'red' button so Bozo can't find it.'- And really love this. lol.
The quote for today really moves me, send it to Bozo, dad.
I go through some days thinking I must be wearing my crazy glasses again...
I see Bush, I hear Bush, I think--so funny, but SO SAD.
