Are you serious? We’re actually even considering letting this administration “fix” something else before leaving office?
I posit George Bush has been akin to the anti-Forrest Gump. Whereas for loveable Forrest was a dimwit who blundered his way into unbelievable success, Bush is an unloveable dimwit who has blundered this nation into an abysmal morass of failure.
So, before we go doling out 700 BILLION no-strings-attached dollars (that’s the equivalent of, oh, six more years in Iraq, in case you’re counting) to his henchmen, I hope you don’t mind that I have just a couple of simple questions:
- After September 11, you said those responsible would pay. How’s that working out? I mean, minus the fact that you essentially let him go in Afghanistan so you could fight a totally unnecessary and ultimately counterproductive war in a completely different country.
- How do you assign someone who despises the United Nations to be the ambassador to the United Nations?
- You say we’re fighting evil doers but then set up hidden prisons to detain and torture people. I say this as a preface to asking: which Bible are you reading again?
- Your “Clean Skies” program actually put more pollutants into the air. In college, did you major in Irony?
- You authorized illegal wiretapping of American citizens. You broke the Constitution. You intentionally manipulated the will of Congress through ‘signing statements.’ Are you aware of the definition of ‘asshat’?
There’s more. Like, how can you fail at being the manager of the Texas Rangers and think you’re qualified for the office of President. I wouldn’t hire you as a shift manager at Denny’s. Why is it that everything you do is wrong and turns into a flaming shitball of failure? Are you cursed? Should I pity you?
And now, now we’re going to have an American fire sale, squeeze the last bit of cash out of our coffers and into the pockets of your minions before you are gone. To think: I was done hating you because, really, after Iraq, how could you fuck up anything worse? It’s inconceivable. But by gosh golly, here we are. So, maybe that’s like a success? You win at failing?
To think if 260 people voted the other way in 2000 …
I’m aghast.

Ray, I like you. Here is a bonus link to piss you off/frighten you, but it has to do with McCain instead of Bush. http://www.amptoons.com/blog/archives/2008/09/22/factcheck-gets-it-wrong-on-mccains-health-care-plan/
the article linked to from Health Affairs is pretty excellent.

Well, thanks rachael. I like you, too. Thanks for the link. Personally, I’m wondering (on another topic) why McCain hasn’t been labeled as a (shudder) flip-flopper in the recent economic crisis. He’s been for nothing but deregulation his entire career, but now he’s all about “making them pay” and oversight? I mean, if you can ride Kerry into the ground with the flip-flopper ‘argument’, why not McCain? C’mon, Obama. It’s easy. Just assume a texas drawl, squint real hard, use your hands in an ineffective manner and say “He’s a flip-flopper, see? Ya can’t just flip … then flop back again. That’s just un-amurican. Heh heh.”
