The Adoration of the Bushi

"Everything President Bush does is for our good."

That is the quote I woke up hearing this morning on CSPAN.

How unutterably ignorant can you be?

This comment would be pitiful if it weren’t such a part of the ideology that is destroying what little democracy we have left in this country. I’m sorry, but I can only have contempt for people like this.

My God, they’re going to run Barbara Bush for President. Just kidding, but she has evidently made a comment that the country is ready for a woman president, preferably a Republican.

On that subject, I can’t understand this talk about Hillary Clinton running for president. As much as I think that she would be a good president, certainly a hell of a lot better than the present criminally crazed lot, I do not think she can be elected. I think she can win the Democratic nomination, but I do not think she can win a national election.

One only has to listen to the woman-hating rhetoric and the caricatures of her already prevalent in the culture. A friend recently forwarded to me a photo montage depicting Hillary Clinton appearing to have a piss in a urinal like a man. Now, the person who forwarded this is a Democrat.

Years ago, I was astounded when I walked through an acquaintance’s house to see an image, held with a magnet to the refrigerator, of Hillary Clinton’s fat legs. Now the woman who owned the refrigerator had cut this image out of some publication and put it on her refrigerator. You tell me what this is all about?

As a third example of the misogyny so prevalent in this culture, consider the ridicule of Elizabeth Edward’s weight in the last election.

Hillary Clinton, in my opinion, is just not going to be elected. I wish she could be elected, but I don’t believe it. The most interesting person considering running to me is Feingold.

Well, I guess my cat and I should get up. It's hard lately to even leave the television. There's some kind of morbid fascination with watching a train wreck happening, especially a train wreck involving an entire nation. It's a little like watching Marilyn Monroe singing Happy Birthday to President Kennedy.
