Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
I'm referring to the sorry spectacle of the president flying back to D.C. from Texas to jump on the holy-roller bandwagon entangling a brain damaged coma victim's feeding tubes in its spokes. Don't know if he's trying to energize his base or distract folks from his Social Security debacle, or just plain happy to get his face next to a headline that says "coma."
But any way you cut it, it's rare to see this kind of world class brown-nosing from a termed-out politician. His staff loves to say Bush is a man who doesn't know the meaning of the word "quit." Well, apparently he's not all that conversant with the word "shame" either.
I can understand Bill Frist and Tom DeLay orchestrating these weasel moves, as they're still ambitious poisonous little suckups with big Christian-right butts in their crosshairs, but shouldn't George be working out of the downtown plaza of Legacy City right now, cleaning up his contribution to a presidential library by shredding documents? And it turns out, he's just a big fat sissy boy like his dad. Isn't that sweet?
A President Bush tap dancing in front of the Falwell-Robertson organ grinder. Ah yes, it does bring back memories. And don't you worry, just because George is a lame duck, that doesn't mean you won't get to see plenty more of this. I wish the rest of you would quit encouraging them.
TrackBackWas anyone taken in by this tomfoolery? From my understanding, everybody including the Falwell-Robertson lemmings thought it was just empty song and dance. Maybe it's just the weather in Chapel Hill.

Posted by: Ryan at March 26, 2005 09:51 PMThere's a whole lot of things that George doesn't know the meaning of... truth, honour, integrity,...you just know we could go on for a couple of days ...
Like Al Capone, he's a vaccuous smirking thug, with no real intuition about anything except how to gather power to himself.
At least Capone was a self-made man.
Ooo, thought that second comment said "de-fetused". Jimmy Kimmel had a good remark the other night about Pat Robertson's thinking tube being removed for a while. I like it.
Posted by: KJ at March 27, 2005 09:36 PMIt is time to start calling the wackjobs and freaks for what they are.
As their frustration grows it becomes clear they do not want a Govenor or President, they want a King. And not just any pussy modern king, either, they want a King who is above the law and rules by divine right. They want a King who can simply sign his name to a document and "make it so."
Show of hands now - after this past week how many of us view judges as "an important check and balance against the crazies" and how many of us view judges as "wackos that need to be cast aside?"
Put another way - how many of use want these freaks pounding at our door when we are dieing?

has a little piece of irony about the "culture of lies" with a (recently censored) piece about Dubya's law allowing hospitals to kill patients who can't pay.
that, and zappa-inspired art
