The Ballroom
Finds Bush Sad and Disgusting
RECEIVED Tue., Sept. 4, 2007
Dear Editor,
When one contemplates the future, one must learn from the past. Gov. Shrub and the “Machiavellian” Rove pushed two programs through the Texas Legislature – “No Social Promotion” and the much tougher TAKS test morphed from the easier TAAS test. Anyone with a half a brain knew it would create scholastic havoc and dropouts – which it has done both. Because the scheming duo knew that if Bush didn’t win the presidency he wasn’t going to run again for governor, they had the two programs go into effect in 2003, when the duo knew Bush would not be around. Let the next poor schnook deal with it. The dubious Bush/Cheney/Rove tax-cut program for the rich will, according to the wise and erudite former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan, bankrupt the country when certain portions become effective in 2008 through 2010, when the trio know Bush will not be around. Let the next poor schnook deal with it. Now we come to the Iraq war. Bush, with his ever-shifting obfuscations and lies about why we are at war in Iraq and no matter how many of our fabulously brave military personnel are murdered and maimed in the interim, will do and say anything to keep the war going past January 2008, when the treasonous trio know Bush will not be around. Let the next poor schnook deal with it. At that point in time, the now former President Bush, the “Machiavellian” Rove, and “Darth Vader” Cheney, supported by the radical, fanatical extreme far-right-winged bigoted zealots, will go on a book-writing, TV-appearing, PR campaign tear blaming the new president, Republican or Democrat, with the loss of the war – an inevitable loss then as it is a reality today. All the death, destruction, and loss of human treasure, between now and then will occur, all because Bush wants to try to exculpate his blackened reputation from the rubble pile of history, where it most assuredly will reside. One can only wonder the name of the last soldier to die because of this mendaciously moralistic maniac. How tragic – how sad.
Now, we also know, from Bush’s own lips, his important agenda for the future. Along with trying to repair his scummy reputation, he is thinking about the big, fat, speaking fees he’ll make while sending our brave soldiers off to die. One wonders if he will share half of the filthy lucre with the Gold Star Mothers whose sons and daughters were murdered and maimed in Iraq? What a pathetically, pitiful, pustule Bush is. How sad – how disgusting.
