George W. Bush has surfaced in the news speaking at a forum sponsored by the George W. Bush Institute. Bush got over his reluctance to weigh in on issues since leaving office and spoke in New York City in favor of tax cuts for the rich – or as he now says “the so-called rich.”
“I wish they weren’t called the ‘Bush tax cuts,’ ” he said of the tax rates set to expire at the end of the year. “If they were called some other body's tax cuts, they're probably less likely to be raised.”
Bush, whose time in office among other things included two long deadly wars and the country’s deepest recession, claimed he didn’t miss being President; however:
"I enjoyed it; it was an unbelievably interesting experience," then he added [perhaps after some thoughtful introspection], "It was inconvenient to have to stop at some stop signs – stop lights – coming over here, but I guess I miss that."
It only takes a short speech and a couple of news stories to get a rapid reminder of what an awful jackass he was and still is. The President responsible for starting the war in Iraq guesses he misses being able to drive though stop lights. Well, Cheney got a new heart since leaving office but Bush is obviously still trying to function with the same brain.
…need a brain. They just kill anything living. It would be fun if Bush got pulled over by a cop and tasered. Of course, he’d get right up and EAT the cop.
cheney as the tin man
bush as the scarecrow
powell as the lion ?
A little birdie told me that a key insight into this diary can be obtained by “Spoonerizing” the last two words of the title. That’s the technique often employed by the Capitol Steps in performance, where the actor switches the initial letters of select words, coming up with a totally different meaning.
Yup.
