Rising Hegemon
Bush sure seems to avoid any and all difficult questions the new way (other than being interviewed only by Hannity and Cavuto), "It's in the book!"
It's like Reagan's Iran-Contra Testimony's "I don't recall" trope with even more douchiness.
Not that Bush doesn't still outrageously lie about shit.
Update:
This is nice.
A bird's gotta bird, a fish's gotta fish, a bush's gotta lie - or - "You knew I was snake when you picked me up."
ReplyDeleteI suspect that, as in the case of the already senile Reagan, that this may in fact be true. He probably doesn't even know what is in the book, never having read it.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is that what rightwing bullies really like torturing people on their Evil Scary Boogeyman List, but they can't admit that in polite society.
ReplyDeleteSo they've pretty much got to pretend that they do it reluctantly, for noble reasons.
Can you imagine psychopaths like Ann Coulter or Glenn Beck, or even our own deal resident troll, if the US ever had a military junta--- do you think any one of them wouldn't be standing right outside the torture chamber, enthusiastically calling for the authorities to ram red hot irons into the anus of helpless 87-year-old Quaker peace grannies?
Nothing like the erudite vitriol of a Brit. My favorite line in the critique of Bush and His Big Book: "He has the self-awareness of a bison."
ReplyDeleteFrom the New York Times Department of Understatement, this headline:
ReplyDeleteBush Recollection Puts Spotlight on Miscarriage
All commentaries on the Bush presidency should be required to use the word "vainglory".
ReplyDeletethe only problem I have with the Brit's piece, is that he's viciously maligning the noble bison.
ReplyDelete...he's viciously maligning the noble bison.
ReplyDeleteThat was my take too. maybe a better comparison would be to the piles that they leave in their wake. (Which may have value as fertilizer but I'm pretty sure have little self awareness.)
the better comparison, jimmiraybob, would have been to the steaming pile of dog shit written about by Bush...
ReplyDeletehe was annointed by the rite wing of the supreme court.
ReplyDeleteNot that Bush doesn't still outrageously lie about shit.
ReplyDeleteAttaturk.
If you're going to seriously attempt in levelling accusation that Bush outrageously lied, you hafta, ya know, provide something resembling proof.
All you have here is the extreme leftist rag The Guardian whining about CIA interrogations of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
