So, George Warmonger Bush is at it again. He is single-handedly rewriting the manual on political hypocrisy, or, more accurately, oblivious political irony.
His latest chapter came yesterday when he declared that Democrats in Congress should abandon their plan to pass a no-confidence vote on Attorney General Alberto Gonzales because it is nothing more than "pure political theatre." And who would know more about "political theatre" than George "Bring 'Em On!" Bush himself, the same guy who, after being so lazy that he had to take the easy way out of taking the easy way out of serving in Vietnam, saw no irony in flying onto an aircraft carrier in a fighter jet with a banner declaring "Mission Accomplished" in the background in order to declare the "end of major combat operations" in Iraq? Well, this master thespian of the D.C. theatre scene -- who is so overdue for a performance at the Ford Theatre -- has decided that now is not the time for anybody to be dabbling in "political theatre." No, as Bush himself might put it, he has dibs on that scene. Obviously this man is competely unaware that his entire Presidency -- ok, his entire fucking life -- is pure theatre. With the exception of his attention to AIDS patients and overtaxed millionaires, this incompetent fucknut hasn't offered an ounce of actual substance in the six years he's spent jerking off in the White House. No, Bush won't do a damn thing for this country, but, by gum, he'll be damned before anybody else -- especially the spineless Democrats [see next blog entry!] -- tries to engage in any of his patented Karl Rove-style theatrics.
Actually, Bush did make one valid point: he further chastised the Democrats, explaining that they should be passing war-funding legislation "as opposed to figuring out how to be actors on the political theater stage." Well, I suppose we can't argue with this complaint; after all, if the strategically clueless Democrats put off all other business until they figured out how to act in the political theatre, they would accomplish even less than Bush has.
Nonetheless, to hear this Z-List actor/president scold his political opponents for putting on official record their displeasure with an obviously incapable Attorney General is insulting, if not infuriating. The only thing left now for George W. Bush is to publicly call out Yogi Berra for mangling the English language. And please don't do that, George, because you're still a myriad of political theatre productions away from being Rex Harrison.
