You didn’t think I’d let 2002 end without getting in one more jab at W, didja? Well, someone has done the work for me, although W just makes it so easy. DubyaSpeak.com is a comprehensive archive of W’s unique brand of idiocy. Here’s a selection:
TOP 10 AS SELECTED BY THE EDITOR
10. I’ve been to war. I’ve raised twins. If I had a choice, I’d rather go to war.
9. I am mindful not only of preserving executive powers for myself, but for predecessors as well.
8. You teach a child to read and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.
7. No, I know all the war rhetoric, but it’s all aimed at achieving peace.
6. My mom often used to say, “The trouble with W” – although she didn’t put that to words.
5. In 1994, there were 67 schools in Texas that were rated “exemplorary” according to our own tests.
4. I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe – I believe what I believe is right.
3. Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease.
2. I understand small business growth. I was one.
1. Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream.
You know, I make fun of W a lot, and for good reason, but when it comes down to it, somehow he actually got elected. All jokes aside about him looking like a cute little monkey, mispronouncing and creating new words, and wreaking havoc upon both domestic and foreign policy: how the fuck did this moron get elected? It’s been about two years, and I just can’t believe that W is the President of the United States. I didn’t believe it when it happened in 2001, and I guess I still have trouble fathoming the depth of voter ignorance, apathy, or just plain stupidity that allowed him to become the leader of our country. I can only hope that in 2004 the voters will come to their senses and that in the meantime he doesn’t set us on a ruinous path from which we can’t recover.
There, that was cathartic. Too bad nobody actually visits this site to accept the flamebait… 🙂
