It’s slowly been sinking in for me that while Bush seems to slow to crack walnuts, he’s been clever enough to nearly pull off a coup in America: shocking? What other president has managed to impinge upon our civil liberties, and overstep his powers as a president to a degree which the founding fathers would have counted as treasonous. He has pushed his will against the Geneva convention to make the worst kind of torture not only possible but routinely practiced(even though it doesn’t work.) He has people kidnaped from their homes and shpped to torture cells overseas. I don’t know who is dull : Bush or the American people who sit back indifferent (until it’s too late.)

Let’s look at the bright side… Granted, he certainly has been one of the worst presidents in our nation’s history in terms of education, economics, foreign policy, and civil rights… BUT, at least he’s provided us with a few good laughs now and then… like a good SNL sketch.

Riiiiiight… I just wish we would have woken up a few years ago and impeached the bastard for the shady (seemingly un-investigated) business deals between his cronies and him taking place in the wake of the Iraq “war.”

Remember: Questioning our leadership is perhaps the most patriotic thing we can do.

Shaun: I just watched a show that Bill Moyers put together interviewing jourmnalists at that time, and the fact is that any knowledgeable peoiple about the middle east like Bob Simon,or the people at Knight Ridder knew that the Bush version of 9/11 events was impossible and total B.S. Before long, because so much pressure was put on the media to support the Bush position to lie that no one dared tell the truth, even though everyone knew that the “facts” were not mistaken but trumped up. As Dan Rather said, they were simply scared. He showed episodes of Oprah yelling at audience people for being “unpatriotic.

The point of the show is that , in a democracy, freedom of dissent is more important than almost anything.You’re right! Almost during the entirety of the war, all the major journalists lied for fear of being branded “unpatriotic”.

Sounds like Nazi Germany, don’t you think?

Definitely one of the funnier jokes on Bush I’ve seen.
