Yesterday morning I sat down at my table to eat breakfast and turned to Fox News Sunday. It is my usual Sunday morning routine. Now, I have seen some crazy stuff on that show, but it usually doesn’t happen until that moron Bill (Bloody Willam) Kristol opens his month in the “panel” segment.
Yesterday in the first segment, Bush administration shill (more on that later) Chris Wallace visited George W. Bush at Camp David. They took a nice stroll in the woods and then settled down for a chat. By the time the segment was done, I had dropped my jaw so far it was resting in the maple syrup on my half eaten waffle.
Lowlights:
When Wallace asked Bush about Obama he said this:
Bush: “I certainly don’t know what he believes in. The only foreign policy thing I remember he said was he’s going to attack Pakistan and embrace Ahmadinejad.
That would be wrong. Obama said he would attack Al-Qaida in Pakistan if he had actionable intelligence, and Bush has sent at least 2 Predator drones into the Northwest Region of Pakistan, killing more than a couple of folks. Obama said he would talk with Iran. Well, Colin Powell thinks that is a swell idea! In fact, the Bushies have some talks going with Iran as we speak. I did enjoy the Obama retort to the Moron-in-Chief:
“Of course President Bush would attack the one candidate in this race who opposed his disastrous war in Iraq from the start. But Barack Obama doesn’t need any foreign policy advice from the architect of the worst foreign policy decision in a generation,” said Obama spokesman Bill Burton.
Then there was this beauty on taxes and Democratic candidates:
If they’re going to say, oh, we’re only going to tax the rich people, but most people in America understand that the rich people hire good accountants and figure out how not to necessarily pay all the taxes and the middle class gets stuck.
We've had -- we've been through this drill before. We're only going to tax the rich and all you have to do is look at the history of that kind of language and see who gets stuck with the bill.
What an amazing statement! He manages to call rich people tax cheats and accountants crooks all in one breath!
My question: THEN WHY KEEP CUTTING TAXES FOR PEOPLE THAT YOU ADMIT DON’T PAY THEM. Question 2: Mr. Bush, why don't you work to close those loopholes?
Regarding our troops in Iraq:
But remember, we are there at the invitation of a sovereign government, elected under a modern constitution. And so I — some of these arguments, I view, are — they just need to be — the people making these arguments need to think through exactly what they are saying.
Yep, I certainly remember that invitation. Hey, America! Please come and blow the crap out of our country, give it a snappy name….like Shock and Awe. And please let it last for years and years!
It does appear that Bush realizes that he is a guy with a 30% approval rating:
My attitude is, so long as they’re talking about me, we have a better chance of winning because our candidate will — what’s going to matter is not the past but the future when it comes to campaigns.
If the Democrat Party feels like they can win an election by focusing on me, I think they’d be making a huge tactical mistake. But I hope they do that then because our candidate will be able to talk about the future.
Now, back to the shill Wallace. Even Bush was smart enough not to go with this one.
WALLACE: I want to follow up on that. Whether it is interrogation of terror prisoners or the intercepting of surveillance among al Qaeda members, are you ever puzzled by all of the concern in this country about protecting of rights of people who want to kill us?
BUSH: That is an interesting way to put it. I wouldn't necessarily define some of the critics of my policy that way. I would say that they want to be very careful that we don't overstep our bounds from protecting the civil liberties of Americans.
And then we go to the Bush speak we all look forward to.
And secondly I believe the Iraq democracy is going to take hold and — it's very hard to write the future history of America before the current history hasn't been fully written.
At one point, Bush said “I am a simple President.” Agreed.
One year to go…………
