In fact, I didn't even think to watch it. I don't care to hear the tinny defenses. I don't care to rebut the desperate rationalizations. I don't care what a highly trained team of speechwriters can do with the data furnished by a highly trained team of political hacks who are working with the themes developed by a highly trained team of pollsters. At this point, the facts of the case are clear. Because George W. Bush was president, innocent people died in large numbers. Because George W. Bush was president, the earth warmed and disaster edged nearer. Because George W. Bush was president, more children live in poverty. Because George W. Bush was president, the rich wield more power. Because George W. Bush was president, more people hate America. Because George W. Bush was president, more Americans view the presidency cynically. Because George W. Bush was president, this country is worse off, and this world is worse off. He betrayed us. I have no interest in engaging the debate that asks whether he was a cynical monster or a hapless fool. It is enough to say he was a failure, and leave it at that. He can spend the rest of his life giving speeches to justify his actions. But he will never be able to drown out the roar of his record.</blockquote><br />Sums up my disgust quite succinctly.<br /><br />Thanks, Ezra.<br /><br /><br><br><center><i>"For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances, as though they were realities, and are often more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are."<br />-Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527)</i></center><br><br /><br /><br><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Best bar bet in the world</span>: Delilah didn't do it.<br /><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=7&chapter=16&version=9&context=chapter">Judges 16:19</a>-- <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Politics" rel="tag">And she made him (Samson) sleep</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Hillary Clinton" rel="tag">upon</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Clinton" rel="tag">her knees;</a> and <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Religion+and+philosophy" rel="tag">she called</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/GLBT" rel="tag">for a man,</a> and <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Democrats" rel="tag">she caused</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Kathy Griffin" rel="tag">him</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Obama" rel="tag">to shave off</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Democratic Party" rel="tag">the seven locks</a> <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/News+and+politics" rel="tag">of his head.</a><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7117215.post-36315148547877971802009-01-15T08:45:00.003-05:002009-01-15T08:53:13.795-05:00The Last Bushism?
