More bloody than Carrie: Bush's revenge on the National Guard

By Jane Stillwater

Like the plot of that old horror movie, Bush was humiliated by the National Guard and now he is getting his revenge. He's already desimated them by deploying them to Iraq without adequate body armor. And now he wants what's left of them to trudge along our borders in 140-degree heat. What's next after that?

::::::::

Remember that horror movie back in 1976 where a girl who was humiliated and made fun of comes back to seek revenge? Well, we got an update on that plot. And George W. Bush is now playing the role of Carrie.

Here's the new script: Back in 1968-73, Bush served in the Texas National Guard where he was teased and humiliated when he scored 25% on his pilot aptitude test and was suspended and grounded from flying duty.

Well, Carrie, er, I mean George waited a long freaking time to get his revenge on the National Guard -- BUT HE DID. America's National Guard is now almost completely destroyed after being sent to Iraq with unprotected Humvees and inadequate body armor.

But was that revenge enough? No.

George went further and administerd the coup de grace. This week he assigned the remaining tattered remnants of the National Guard -- who had somehow managed to survive being butchered in Iraq, cut off economically at home and strangled in New Orleans by FEMA -- to the ultimate humiliation: Border patrol. And if the National Guard somehow manages to survive trudging through the Arizona desert in 140-degree heat while leaving their home states undefended (again), I'm 100% sure that Bush will figure out some other humiliating and/or deadly revenge to finally finish them off.

Trust me. Carrie will not rest until there is NOTHING left of the National Guard.
