The Silly Season

There are many things that G.W. is not, and genius is one of them. For crying out loud, he brags of getting C's at Yale! But then, our friends on the Right say this:
It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can't get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile.
You know, we have editorial standards that censor Doonsbury's use of "Turdblossom," a nickname G.W. coined for his Rasputin Rove (as so ably parsed by my friend Redjalapeno and the comments at The Pepper Farm). Why in the world don't we have editor's who will censor crap like this. Harumphf! "..brilliance approaching to genius.." It makes me want to gag, gag, gag if it wasn't so silly.

And so tragic.

And then he displays an obscene gesture to reporters. What does the world think? I am so ashamed of my country.

Thanks Doc for the plug!

Um, I believe that flip-off was actually his thumb, signaling a 'thumbs up' over CAFTA.

In that sense, his thumb is the middle finger to the Central American countries that will bear the burden of the 'benefits' of this agreement, and the to the Americans that will lose further jobs in manufacturing and textile industries.

That is pretty damn funny isn't it?
