If you don't get what is wrong with this picture, I sure as hell can't explain it to you.

And that is the reason I have virtually ceased making any sort of political posts, because either I'm preaching to the choir or taking hits from people who call me partisan and stupid even though nothing Bush does resembles the responsibility conservatives pride themselves on.

But this link from oletheros is just too much for me to pass up.

"Did the President tell the entire nation that he would decrease our dependence on Middle Eastern oil? Well, he didn't mean it literally."

I keep wondering how long till kids are telling their parents, "I didn't lie to you. I just didn't mean it literally."

I'm just frustrated beyond belief. Not surprised, but frustrated and furious that this is apparently okay, and a huge portion of the nation (including some of the people reading this) think this is acceptable behavior. We deserve better. We should be demanding better.

Writing this isn't even making me feel better, just vaguely pissed off because I know someone will jump in with a response that I cannot fathom about Why Whatever W. Does Is Okay.

It's way too early to need a drink.

Oh, and you know something that bugs me? Those SUV-drivers who have those smarmy nyah-nyah "W. The President" stickers on their gas-guzzlers? They usually have two or three of them. What, are they afraid they'll forget which letter it is if they just have one?

And say what you will about me, I've never tailgated someone with a Bush sticker while holding up handwritten signs and yelling, as that asshole who scared the crap out of me in 2004 did.

He just needed to use the old Obi-Wan Kenobi "From a certain point of view" line. Works everytime...

Cool. We match, iconically.
Right there with ya, bunk.

It all depends on what your definition of "is" is. :)

sorry... I hardly ever believe what The President says, no matter who it is.

Who's running in 2008?

Reed has a sticker on his car that says F the President.

I couldn't even stomach listening to the address. We need to export him...

But it was just an example!

You know, of what he might do were he actually an effective president, not a liar, and not personally benefitting from dependence on oil.

I can see it all now:
"President Elect Kell, I appreciate your desire to reformat the Homeland Security Department, but we can't really call it "Please Don't Be An Idiot, Thank You. Think of the stationery."

All that ran through my mind during his speechifying was....

Does he REALLY believe this shit? Karl Rove has his hand up GW's arse and is working his mojo, he is. Fuckers! There's a special place in hell for these s.o.b.'s. Except I don't even think Satan wants this lot.

Love your Jon Stewart drinkin icon. I must have this shiny morsel!!!

Kisses.
