Bush

First, a W. Bush quotation (and some response) from The Daily Dish.
"QUOTE OF THE DAY: 'The good news is - and it's hard for some to see it now - that out of this chaos is going to come a fantastic Gulf Coast, like it was before. Out of the rubbles of Trent Lott's house -- he's lost his entire house - there's going to be a fantastic house. And I'm looking forward to sitting on the porch.' (Laughter).' - president George W. Bush, today. Just think of that quote for a minute; and the laughter that followed. The poor and the black are dying, dead, drowned and desperate in New Orleans and elsewhere. But the president manages to talk about the future "fantastic" porch of a rich, powerful white man who only recently resigned his position because he regretted the failure of Strom Thurmond to hold back the tide of racial desegregation."

There are no words for how stupid is the person who was elected POTUS. No words for the anger which is so great it brings me out of my hopes to just ignore the circus geek that he is. Sadly, he eats not the heads off live chickens, or squirming worms from a tin can of slime, he bites the head from intellectual public discourse and good, reasonable, fair government... A differnet sort of freak-show revulsion, but a freak show revulsion nonetheless is the idiot POTUS. One hopes the wooden steps at the ranch are particularly slippery one morning while Baby Bush heads out, feet slipper clad, to stare at the landscape and have his morning intellectual moment staring at the huge plant things, to struggle to recall the noun, "trees."
