Preznit Runnin' Away

Mayhap I'm a bit naive. Or dense. Choose your adjective wisely, Grasshopper. But I think that we never needed the infamous kerning memos, or the help of Dan Rather. What we needed was Terri Schiavo to prove the lack of character and the absolute consistency of Beloved Leader. Think about it...

In the late 60's to much fanfare and clanging of bells, Preznit Bunnypants is inducted into the TxANG as first an enlisted man (no hoopla there) and then amidst a deafening roar, he's made an Officer with no special qualification other than family connections. When the limelight disappears, so does Bunnypants, to something that was suspiciously like a vacation. In Alabama. Old news.

In 2001 we are struck here at home, and in the visceral reaction to the attack, amidst much fanfare and clanging of bells, Fearless Leader proclaims that he wants Osama "Dead or Alive". Then as the limelight disappears, he goes back on Vacation and soon denies he ever made any public pronouncments about Osama. Unfortunately for him, there was video.

In 2003 he stood on the deck of an capital ship of the line, an aircraft carrier, amidst much fanfare and clanging of bells (literally) and pronounced the "Mission Accomplished". Two years later with over 1,500 Americans and countless Iraqi's dead and mutilated and an insurgency that is growing incrementally stronger, he denied he was responsible for starting a war based on lies and deceit or that his operatives were even responsible for the photo-op sign. And then he went on vacation.

In 2005 he's asked to come back to Washington to intercede in a private famliy matter, amidst much fanfare and clanging of bells. He does this to mollify his "base" who handed him the election and now want payback. But as with all his other efforts when the going got tough, he simply got going. Back to vacation and his cocoon.

I heard once that the present is the key to the past. I guess it's really true. Memos? We never needed no stinking memos...all the evidence has been there all along, it just took the events in Florida to make it even more clear.

It doesn't really take any memos to see that the inherent character that made him disappear after the Schiavo debacle hasn't changed much since he was appointed as an Officer in whom "special trust and confidence" were misplaced.

Living in a Red State, and hearing people say, LITERALLY HEARING people say, that he is FIRM and RESOLUTE etc. makes me cringe in pants-shitting terror.
Great post Jo, I think that this guy has been teflon-coated, shot out of bar-bars ass and his momentum hasn't ended yet. You know what absolutely slays me? He will be payed - good money - by corporations when he is out of office to mangle the english language, at half a million a pop.

Usually when somebody incompetent is out of the office it means they have less chance to screw things up. Unfortunately, when Bush is off on vacation things manage to still get screwed up.

Grotesqueticle is right, we are going to have to listen to him mangle the language for years to come. What an embarassment.

The irony of a Bush speaking engagement is that he will be talking into the same echo chamber he always does. Same crowd. No feedback -- positive or negative. And get paid for it.

First, let me say that MarineLiberal1775 has an excellent blog.

Second, President Mumblefuck's base didn't hand him that election. It was stolen.

Third, the old saying is "the child is parent to the man." He's always been a coward and always will be. He's a classic bully, actually, ready to beat on anything he can beat on without fear of retribution, but runs away when someone stands up to him.

Barbara wears the pants- she issued his Schiavo apology in the form of the usual aggressive denial... others to blame for Cokehead's reaction.

On her way to Afghanistan, to visit the country Chevron/Unocal runs via its President and VP , each of whom were regional Unocal reps for South Central Asia...
