To the show that never ends...

Sometimes it is the messenger. Being a cowboy doesn't pay off when there are no cattle, but then I guess Preznit no have Turkee never learned that at Andover either...

An American proposal for the world's wealthiest nations to press for economic, political and cultural changes in the Middle East has drawn harsh criticism from Arab leaders and European officials, who say the Bush administration did not consult the countries it seeks to transform.
...
An Arab diplomat in Washington said he told administration officials that he did not disagree with any of the initiative's elements, but that "it's very important how it is to be packaged." Further, the diplomat said, the United States is tarnished by its failure to ease the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.

"It's not the message, it's the messenger," he said. "But I don't think the administration will be affected by the criticism. I don't think they regard such opinions very highly. They're going to forge ahead."

I think the exact language of the 1600 Crew was something like "Fuck'em if they can't take directions". Why am I not surprised?

You are not surprised because NOBODY is surprised. Wouldn't Harry Truman have fun with this Jackass?

What we need is a new "Reality" show: "National Make-over!" The U.S. sends in a team (gay? straight? bi-?) to a country for a make-over in its own image. Perhaps THE FALL OF BUSH II this Fall will allow George W to lead this "Reality" show. After all, who has greater experience. Rummy, Colin, Cheney, et al, can be assured of employment with George W for at least 13 weeks. We can call it "NEOCONS FOR NATIONBUILDING".

Come to think of it, isn't this going on now? Unfortuntely, it's for real and we can't just shut off the TV or switch channels. How many weeks is it till November?

Now we'll have the "Jesus Chainsaw Massacre" to help give the Arabs the warm fuzzies about their Jewish neighbors. Thanks Mel!

I sort of resent the fact that I have no good arguments to counter charges by some of my European friends that the US is not only not exporting democracy, but is, in fact, becoming more like Saudi Arabia every day.

The Last Temptation of Bush, where he has flash thought before hitting a Red button to launch armageddon. The Passion of Bush, where he sacrificies his taxpayer's future on the cross to save the world from Taxataion...


Nah just make us a road warrior Iraq episode where Hallibrutton is after the last fill-up tank of gas in the world and an outlaw aussie foremer cop claims it for his... Ruport Murdoch guset stars as the "hero" whose futuristic car has to be suck-start siphoned by Hannity each episode or movie scene.
Chalabi will be the official movie trailer man for the outlaws, as the man to kill for a full tank of gas...
