bush is a twit

Bush is such a dipshit. Have you noticed that? Today Tom Ridge comes out and says there's an increased chance of a terrorist strike of major proportions in an attempt to 'disrupt national elections'. What bullshit. If that's the case why not raise the level in their fancy dancy little terra bar?

What it was was an attempt to disrupt the flow of momentum began by the naming of Edwards as Kerry's VP.

This week Bush is asked what the difference is between Edwards and Cheney and replies "Cheney could be president."

Really? So what's all this talk about taking Cheney off the ticket and replacing him with *gasp* Powell or McCain? Jesus, talk about a two faced flip flopper!

The other, more sinister thing this Ridge announcement was was a set up for Bush to disrupt the national elections. Picture it. Ridge announces now that there's evidence of a terrorist strike that is intended to disrupt the elections... sometime in October, if the Pakistanis don't produce bin Laden as Bush has requested, Ridge raises the threat to Orange or Red, because, well, we told you back in July there was increased evidence of a strike to disrupt the elections. In order to protect the "integrity" of the elections, Bush declares a national emergency and issues a decree to suspend the elections.

Sound far fetched? Some people have stated that someone flying planes into skyscrapers sounded far fetched before September 11, 2001.

Remember as you freak out in November, you heard it here first!

Well, it's been a long time since I posted here, and for anyone who has checked in I apologize. Don't get me wrong, there have been plenty of things that sprout the smirking chimp has done to solidify his twitness.

First of all he's an ugly bastard. Especially when he's stuck for an answer and he creases his monkey brow and purses his little 'how can anyone kiss them' lips. The last thing he did that pops into my head was his WMD jokes. Did you see that? What a pathetic joke he is, stupid bastard making jokes about his pack of bullshit while people are dying horrible deaths for his stupidity. Oh, no wait, that's right, we're now liberating the Iraqis. Liberating Iraq for a new commercial market for Disney... oh yea, Disney, the folks who brought you censorship!

Speaking of Disney, have you heard about the new Iraqi theme park? It's called Abu Ghraib and the most popular attraction seems to be Saddam redux. Your friendly guide, Lynndie England, will show you through the ropes.

Oh, poor poor Lynndie! What a horrible thing to happen to her! She's just a kid from a Virginia trailer park... just a kid caught in a horrible misunderstanding. Destiny Goin blames the Army! "It's just unjust, is what it is," Goin said. Oh yea, it's unjust alright. Now, I'm a good liberal, and I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. I don't know how, but it is possible that she didn't mean to do these things, but she looks like she's having a bit too much fun torturing other human beings. Oh, wait, I forgot, these aren't human beings these are thugs. Right, how stupid of me. The photos were put on discs and passed around like the latest Star Wars disc. Another boring night in Abu Ghraib? Hey! I know! Let's check out the latest disc from the guards! What fun!



Oh but wait... there's more yet to come. Ronald Dumsfeld tells the panel today that there are MORE photos, and golly gee! there's video too! Then the impetuous buffoon actually makes a threat! Good golly gosh, he says, things will get WORSE if those videos and pictures are released!!

Well, I don't see what all the fuss is about, do you? Midge Decter, a dingbat who supports sprout the smirking chimp, thinks the fuss about the 'hazing' is just election year politics. "This new scandal is no more than an election-season opportunity seized by certain serious opponents of the war, along with many more unserious opponents of the Bush administration." Oooh Midge... did your mother have any kids that lived??

So what does any of this have to do with the smirking chimp? Well, lets follow the money, shall we? Or in this case the chain of command......

Now. I may not have all the pieces here... if I don't please let me know...

There's this woman, Janis Karpinski. She's a quiet business consultant in real life, but when she gets to play Army she's a Brigadier General! She also happened to be the Brigadier General in charge of Abu Ghraib, sort of like a cross between Walt Disney and the Marquis de Sade, until she was quietly admonished and relieved of her duties when this thing first broke loose and an Army investigation began. According to the New Yorker,

"In an interview last December with the St. Petersburg Times, she said that, for many of the Iraqi inmates at Abu Ghraib, living conditions now are better in prison than at home. At one point we were concerned that they wouldn't want to leave."

Aww, that's so sweet! That was before she was suspended. Now, can anybody really tell me that a Brigadier General can be relieved of her duties and suspended and the Commander in Chief not know about it? Well, that's exactly what they will say, if they haven't already. But wait, wait, it still gets better. In an interview with CNN on Tuesday, May 4, 2004, she denied having any knowledge of the torture! It's possible, I suppose. But for smirk to say he had no knowledge of the abuse is absurd. Brigadier Generals do not get relieved of command without a few ripples. Of course, we all know the CiC likes to stay stupid. "Just tell me what I need to know today!"

Enter Major General Antonio M. Taguba. Here's an interesting fella. He was ordered by Lieutenant General Ricardo S. Sanchez, the senior commander in Iraq, to investigate the allegations of abuse. According to The New Yorker,

"Taguba found that between October and December of 2003 there were numerous instances of sadistic, blatant, and wanton criminal abuses” at Abu Ghraib. This systematic and illegal abuse of detainees, Taguba reported, was perpetrated by soldiers of the 372nd Military Police Company, and also by members of the American intelligence community"

Guess who didn't read the report? Rummy claims he just read the summary, and I guess he didn't think it was worth telling his boss about any of this. Why disturb him, let the poor boy sleep for goodness sakes! He has a tough week at his ranch coming up! Or.... did he tell his boss? That would be the logical thing to do, right?

"Shit, George, if this crap gets out Kerry will be all over it!"

But nah, sprout the wonder chimp never got wind of it. (uh huh)

Oh, but wait, patient reader! There is still more!!!

Provost Marshal Donald Ryder, a major general reported last fall that there were system wide problems. Ah, but what the hell, it's not like sprout knew about that report either. If anyone gave it to him it probably sat on his desk until he threw it away. After all, I mean, come on! He's much too busy to have time to read any reports (let alone the newspaper)! That's what he has a cabinet for, that's why they meet every morning, so he can be kept informed of what's really important... his latest approval rating.

Ah and now for the final stroke. The Red Cross, that commie, un-American organization that wants to tear down this country along with the UN and the WTO, er no wait, oh, never mind. The International Committee of the Red Cross has been warning of abuse since shortly after the invasion. They specifically reported abuse to Janis Karpinski and Bremer as far back as March 2003, but she knew nothing about any of it. Not only that, there are reports that this is more widespread than Rummy or several others care to admit. The Brits have published photos of their troops urinating on Iraqis, isn't that special? And, ready for this? A private contractor, Titan Corp., "a leading provider of comprehensive information and communications products, solutions, and services for National Security. Serving the Department of Defense, intelligence agencies, and other government customers" provided some of the 'intelligence specialists' at Abu Ghraib.

On Monday, March 29, 2004, Riverbend of Baghdad Burning wrote a piece about a woman who was taken and held in Abu Ghraib, where "after witnessing several beatings and the rape of a male prisoner by one of the jailors- in mid-January, [she] was suddenly set free." She most likely received a hailstorm of email about how full of shit she was... I suggest several people owe her an apology for their responses. For her, an apology for a nasty e-mail might be appropriate... for Rumsfeld and Bush, and, unfortunately, by extension, all Americans and the troops, I seriously doubt it will cut the mustard.

Well, smirky, can you say "Bring em on"?

Well, Happy Valentines Day, anyway. At least there was some good news coming out of Massachusetts (is that spelled right? There oughta be a law against states whose names you can't spell). The 'liberal' state tried to pass a marriage amendment that would prohibit same-sex weddings.

Now, really. Can't people see that this is the same stuff that went down about interracial marriages? The only difference is that some people actually think they have a chance of passing this kind of amendment. Monkey boy georgie has said he'd support an amendment to the constitution hasn't he? And Kerry! Two years ago he was all for it, now he has to pull back from the edge because Americans appear to be closed minded about who other people fall in love with. It's a damn shame when democrats have to stand by the idea of denying others basic, essential human rights (rites?).

Look. Marriage is a religious concept. You can go stand in front of a priest and get married without the paper from the state. It won't have any legal binding on an Earthly plane, but in the eyes of god you'll be joined forever. You can also get all the paper you want from the state and if the church won't marry you, you ain't gettin hitched. My ol' lady is Jewish... just try to find me a roman Catholic Priest who (when he's not busy with the alterboys) would marry us. We could have a marriage license from every state in the union and the blessing of Monkey boy georgie himself, even Asscraft could sign on, and that Roman Catholic Priest ain't marrying no Jewess in his Holy Roman Church.

The point to all this is that marriage is a religious issue, not a state issue. (religion? state? church? state? Ohhhhh,now I see where you're going!) If my religion, Holy Moly Scroffism, states it's not only acceptable, but preferrable to marry the same sex, what business is it of the states? I know, thats an extreme example, but it makes the point. What people are saying is that they don't want to encourage same sex marriages by allowing them the same rights and priveledges of us straight folk. They say same sex marriage will destroy the family as we know it. They may be right. Marriage and the family as we know it has been on the way out for some time now, ever since Sally found out she didn't need to go from under daddy's wing to under hubby's wing, and men folk are scared... afraid that their place in society might suffer. Just maybe it's time for marriage as we know it to fall by the waysides, maybe then we can pay closer attention to the needs of alternative family styles... things like single parent households... things like childcare... things like allowing non married couples to share benefits, rights, and estates... all those radical new ideas.

Back to the good news... The Massachusetts convention was held as a reaction to the ruling by the state's high court that same-sex couples cannot be denied marriage licenses under the state constitution. It lost... 103-96. Close, but good enough.

That arrogant little shit is your president. He was AWOL from his guard position for at least a year because he was a rich little punk that thought he could he could get away with anything he wanted, a rich little Senator's son... and poppy bush took good care of his boy... made damn sure his little boy wouldn't get dismantled in Vietnam. And little boy georgie took it and ran... oh yea, he'd fly those planes, that was a thrill a second, a thrill paid for by the taxpayors, a waste of money because little boy georgie knew damn well he'd never leave the states.
This is not to denigrate anyone's guard service, this is not about the guard. When republicons and good right wanker sprout supporters try to deflect the argument (as monkey boy himself tried to do in his Meet the Press interview today) by saying something incredibly stupid like "How dare you disrespect Guard units!" tell them monkey boy himself disrespected the Guard units by trying to say his service was as honorable as anybody elses. Besides, this is not about the Guard, it's about a lying little monkey.

If you missed it you missed a classic. The little monkey was all by himself looking 100% the fool that he is... all hunched over with that little "I smell shit" look on his weasley pinched face. What an idiot, stuttering and stammering over the easiest questions. Not once did he have the balls to say anything even close to "I may have been wrong".

He said he got an honorable discharge from the Guard and that should be proof he served "honorably". Bullshit Mr. Prez. You got in as a favor to your daddy after scoring one of the lowest scores in history, jumping over 500 other men who were more qualified... you managed some kind of basket leave shit to dodge your orders for about a year, then got an eight month school cut to go to Harvard Business School (how you got in there is another story in itself)... what's the stretch to think you got an honorable the same way... handed to you. I got out of the marines with an honorable... after 13 Article 15s... and I got a two month school cut... and my daddy doesn't rub elbows with congressman.

Yer fulla shit prez.

Well, the name says it all. I think George W. Bush is a twit and I'm starting this blog so I can vent my spleen on a regular basis. I don't have to tell you why I think he's a twit, but I might give specific examples if I feel like it. I just want to be able to say my piece.
