Bashers
posted in General |BASHERS
The Back-Biting Bush Bashers are at it again – with a vengeance. There are lots of problems in the US and elsewhere, and they are all George's fault, i.e., Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, India, Israel, Palestine, Yemen, North Korea, France, the UN, AIDS, Medicare, Tax cuts, deficits, clean air, the environment, the IRS, Social Security, the economy, abortion, and perhaps 10-20 more too numerous to list. All George's fault.
Lively debate and criticism are the lubricants of politics and the battleground between the “ins” and “outs”. Certainly, President Bush is not immune to question and criticism. But the current bad-mouthing goes beyond the customarily harsh rhetoric between the “R”s and the “D”s. Perhaps the best case in point is the Beltway's Boorish Balloon, otherwise known as Teddy Kennedy. In his latest diatribe, he accuses the President and his staff of fraudulenlty creating the War against Iraq. In a way, I am surprised at Mr. Kennedy — not for what he said and the terms he used, but because he was able move his considerable heft off his broadening backside to be interviewed. But I guess I should never underestimate his urge to get in front of a camera with a mike.
The current verbal sewage coming from the Democrats, including the 10 would-be Presidential dwarfs, goes beyond politics, issues and differences. Rather, they are highly personalized attacks on Mr. Bush, whose personal conduct and principles stand so much in contrast to his predecessor who by all measures was a liar and moral degenerate. Even the courts said so. While there may be those who are well eqippped to direct criticisms at George and his administration, the Boorish Balloon of the Senate is not one of them. George may have his limits and shortcomings, but he does not have blood on his hands. Maybe someone should remind Big Teddy of the parable about living in a greenhouse and throwing rocks. In re Chappaquiddick, he would probably say that it wasn't his fault that she couldn't swim. That's about his speed.
