Worst. President. Ever.
August 10th, 2005 by JoshI often pause for a moment to consider my hatred of our president, one George W. Bush. I remember the vitriol that spewed from conservatives and Republicans during the travails of the Clinton Administration. People called Clinton a killer and to those of us on the left it sounded purely absurd. Are we just mirroring their discontent at being out of power?
But then I pause again, and remember all that Bush has achieved, and gosh, just how great he is. Billmon:
THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Like me, many across this great land are taking lengthy vacations this month, to escape the roasting hot weather made possible by my bold policy of global climate enhancement. However, it has been brought to my attention that a relatively small number of families are not enjoying the summer nearly as much as I am, because their fathers, mothers, brothers, sons and/or daughters have been wounded and/or killed in the War of Heroic Action against Terrorism for the Future of a United Christian Kulture — or, as my NSC counterterrorism experts sometimes call it: WHATtheFUCK?
This is the man who takes a 5 week vacation from the world’s most important day job to clear brush, but cannot take the time to meet with the mother of a soldier who died in his illegal war who stands outside his home, sweating in the Texas sun.
As Maureen Dowd wrote today, “It’s getting harder for the president to hide from the human consequences of his actions.”
