Sept. 28, 2002 -- MIAMI (APJP) -- Why does George Dumb-bell-yuh always look so darn angry? He really does.
He was, as usual, snarling even while being careful not to inject too much political nonsense into the process of throwing out the first ball by handing to a kid in a motorized wheelchair who couldn't even hold the ball. It was ironic -- and really touching -- but hapless little George Junior couldn't help but reveal the overwhelming anger in his visage he's been practicing all too well over the past year and some months. Of course, I'd be angry as well if I were a chimpanzee baseball player caught trying to execute a football-style end run around the American people. Being President, for Bush, has been one big annoyance -- one huge headache -- and one must give him credit for sticking it out, even after the embarrassing pretzel incident. He's stepping up to the plate -- although still batting zero. Poring over the New York Times and the Palm Beach and Miami papers this weekend, it seemed like bad news was following the Simian president wherever he perched. So let's ignore the tanking economy. Let's forget that the NASDAQ is at a six year low. Let's turn our back -- just for a moment, mind you -- on the awful creeping poverty that's infecting our inner cities like a plague and where the new name of the game is for the underclass and their children to move from one state to another as door after door slams in their faces. Let's forget that the illiteracy rate in the state of Mississippi, whose senior elected official was the Senate Majority Leader for over half a decade, is well over 70 -- yes, that's seventy -- percent. Let's forget that there are nearly 5,000 black men sitting on death row in the company of only a few hundred white men.
Let's forget about the former Texas governor's own admitted drunkenness and drug use while he whips poverty-stunned drug users who don't have rich daddies to buy them out of prison and reward them for a life of drunken abuse by buying them a baseball team. Let's forget all that (and more) for now and just focus on the fact that the entire world is telling this moron that it is not -- I repeat, not -- a good idea to attack a nation like Iraq when you're as stupid as is George W. Bush. If he had a brain he'd realize that the men and woman surrounding him are either as idiotic as he or just plain evil.
Colin Powell is about to resign from his post as Secretary of State of this terrible mistake, this dumb-ass idea to move into a nation the size of Iraq and kill our children -- our baby boys -- in the process. And for just what? To get oil? Is the President insane or is he merely the tool of people so evil and so moronic they have no concept of conscience? Listen to this simpleton's "logic": Hey, you spoiled dumbass, let me tell you a secret. The following nations have weapons of mass destruction -- and their leaders or their populations don't like us either: France George, you're probably a nice guy. You have a nifty wife who has stuck by you no matter what. Okay, you've messed up your daughter's lives just as your brother Jeb did with his out-of-control, good-for-nothing offspring -- lives destroyed by your egos, your father's ego, his father's ego. Look around you. Take off your Presidential sweats and take a hard look at the men who surround you. They are old. They are hawks. They offer others' lives to make themselves richer. Your press secretary is an arrogant ass. Your Secretary of the Treasury is a goofball. Your National Security Advisor is a dilettante of the most dangerous order. Your Attorney General is just plain despicable. They are tempting you -- or are the forcing you, George? -- to destroy our nation and to submit our youngsters to war, to death, to being maimed and blinded. For what?
You have no idea what war is, little George. While kids were being dispatched to the Southeast Asian abattoir, you somehow cut the line and got into the Texas Air National Guard "champagne squad" -- then walked away without fulfilling your obligation to taxpayers. Nether does anyone around you. And your circle of advisors is clueless about war. They have no investment in war =- only in power. You know as well as I do that inside the Pentagon some generals are ready to break with you and Cheney. Some generals, you know, really hate war. They really hate killing and will do anything to stop it. And George, we cannot wage a war in the manner you assume we can. You are too ill-informed to know that. Where are our planes going to fly from? 1800 miles away, 2400 miles away? Are you dumb enough to think that four or five aircraft carriers can provide the air cover for an army of our sons and daughters? Turns out there isn't even enough fuel capacity to do that. Do you know that? Or does it make a difference to you?
As I write I see a retired Lt. General of Air Force briefing "The Ghoul", Jon Gibson, on how we will destroy Saddam. Gibson was a "reporter" for Court TV. That was his zenith -- when he was reporting on the notorious OJ Simpson trial. What is a US Lieutenant General doing on television with this glorified talking head Gibson beating the drums for war? Judging from the dross coming from your West Wing, George, I just have to ask you: if Saddam is so bad why not simply nuke him? Why not just flatten the nation of Iraq George? Why not use those missiles we paid hundreds of billions of dollars for to crush the Russians? Are you stupid, George, or what? I don't think so. I think you have the intelligence of a tenth generation American. You may not be a well-educated or well-read man, but at least some of the sophistication of our greatest universities rubbed off on you.
Search your soul. Purge the likes of Cheney and Gingrich, DeLay and Rice. Look to America's brightest men and women -- not the farthest right, not the neo-Nazis. Save yourself from shame and disgrace. You cannot win this way. Build our nation from within. But first, take out the terrorists. And keep your eyes on Saddam and the others I've listed for you. But now is not the time. That time may come -- but not in your lifetime or mine. I see you have Newt Gingrich, the disgraced philandering whore-monger who left the Speakerhip of the House in shame, pushing your agenda. You've even put him on a very serious committee inside the Pentagon which plans this nation's future and defensive or offensive posture.
And these two -- one of them now acting as a pitch man for you -- were all the time leading the charge against Bill Clinton. How dare they? And how dare you allow them to speak for you -- for your office. Stop them. And for once in your life, stand up and be a man, George. You've lucked into leading the free world. You're not the first to come to high office this way. Some like you have failed Thus far you have not | ||||
