Let us be humble enough to admit it when we are wrong. As the verbose but ineffectual Senator Levin so eloquently remarked today, MoveOn’s attack upon General Petraeus was “outrageous.” And the transcendent journalist Mark Shields, who I think was actually sober at the time, pointed out on PBS this evening that the MoveOn ad was “tasteless” because “Americans do not like to have their names made fun of.” A truly poignant observation, Mr. Shlemiels.
We should bear in mind that General Petraeus has benefited and inspired this nation by assuring us of the basic rectitude of the latest surge of our compassionate but decisive Commander-in-Chief George W. Bush, who despite his continuing battle with an unresolved Oedipus complex and his painful learning disabilities, is leading our nation to a hitherto unimaginable level of glory.
So then, let us repent. And Bob Fertik (democrats.com) has been kind enough to show us how to do it. Never again shall we refer to the general as General BetrayUs. Henceforth he shall only be called by his proper name, to wit: General Ass-Kissing Chicken Shit -or AKCS for short.
And we should note in closing that a mere one million people have been killed in Iraq. Is that really such a big deal in view our obvious need for oil reserves and profits? So aside from being more polite toward our noble leaders, let us not be so touchy about a few corpses.
