What does King George care if two-thirds of the country thinks he's a complete screw-up?
Virtually every sane and sober adult with access to a free speech newspaper or newscast realizes that Donald Rumsfeld is, and always has been, wholly incompetent to be Secretary of Anything, especially Defense of the World's most destructive War Machine. Still, upon repeated calls to dump him for someone who is" let's say, qualified, Bush refuses, saying this 72-year-old fossil "is doing a fine job."
Geez! Where have we heard that before?
To its credit, even CNN refused to air King George's speech on Wednesday, adding the comment that it was "just more of the same" of what we've heard the past two days.
Of course, it doesn't help when King George XLIII, Dark Lord the Dick Cheney, Rummy, and their minions, led by dullards such as RNC honcho Ken Mehlman and talk show host Laura Ingraham, blame the media for the horrendous mess in Iraq.
Hey, the media allowed the RoveBush Fascists to have their war, now they, too, are trying to correct mistakes.
There's a lot of "stupid is as stupid does" to go around, beginning with about half of the people who voted for George W. Bush because he claimed Christianity, or because Bill Clinton proved to be human. There's even more to go around among those who voted for George W. Bush the second time. Fool me once, shame on me"
And there doesn't seem to be an end to it.
Yes, I know Forrest Gump is just a character in a novel and a movie.
Nevertheless, maybe we wouldn't be in this mess if Mother Barbara had used that "stupid is as stupid does" bit of wisdom around the Bush mansion some 58 years ago.
Y'think?
1,935 days since the Rehnquist Supreme Court illegally allowed this illegitimate takeover of our Government by the RoveBushCheney Fascists. Impeachment is our legal recourse to deal with Bush, but can we get rid of the rest by tarring and feathering, and running them out on rails?
