- Years ago I wrote an article titled "What The Captain
Really Means." A fighter pilot flying in the 2nd Indochina War is
being interviewed by a reporter while a public information officer is explaining,
"What the captain really means is... It's not publishable here but
readers will get the idea. Keep in mind that when Bush or his Handlers
say anything, the MacScottie Potty Factor activates.
-
- "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful and
so are we. They never stop thinking of new ways to harm our country and
our people and neither do we." GW Bush
-
- "...a catastrophic success." GW Bush, referring
to Iraq.
-
- McClellan responded that anyone speaking with determination
and intensity would misspeak themselves at times. Oh?
-
- "The world is a safer and freer place under my leadership."
GW Bush. I'm yet to hear an explanation on that one. Iran is building nuclear
warheads and North Korea is, also, and has delivery capability.
-
- Bush said we would win the war on terrorism, then said
we can't win the war on terrorism and then said we are winning the war
on terrorism. Is that political pragmatism, flip-flopping or just plain
dumb? The explanations by his handlers defy any understanding.
-
- But I know what he means by "catastrophic success."
The national debt is the highest in our history, domestic programs have
been virtually eliminated by billions in cuts in funds. Our civil liberties
have been destroyed by the USA PATRIOT Act, millions are unemployed, millions
have no medical insurance.
-
- Here are a few statistics. In the first year and a half
after GW took office, 4.3 million more people dropped below the poverty
line of $18,660 for a family of four. That is a total of 12.5 percent,
or 1/8th, of our entire population! The number of children living in poverty
increased by 11 percent. And in the first seven months of this year job
growth has not kept up with population growth, which means that more people
have sunk into poverty.
-
- "Outsourcing" has eliminated hundreds of thousands
of jobs, our borders are broken, illegal aliens are swarming in like locusts
and Bush wants to make them legal. Drugs are costly and 44 million people
are uninsured. We can't import cheaper drugs, but corporations can import
all sorts of products we used to make for ourselves. Tax cuts benefit only
the wealthy elite so that now the middle class pays more in taxes than
the wealthy. The economy is a disaster.
-
- Then there's the elimination or revision of environmental
protection laws destroying our forests, polluting the water we drink and
the air we breathe. And so on, ad nauseam.
-
- So what he meant by catastrophic success is that his
strong, bold and determined leadership has led our country successfully
into a catastrophe.
-
- Governor Steroid of California said that America was
great because of Bush. This is the guy whose hometown is a few klicks from
Linz, Austria, (Hitler's hometown) and who once said he admired Hitler.
Remember that Bush has said three times that he would like to be dictator.
Considering some of his self-praise about his achievements he could have
said the following: "I'm convinced of the powers of my intellect and
of decision . . . none have achieved what I have achieved..." Adolph
Hitler, 23 Nov. 1939.
-
- Considering that Grandpa Bush made the family fortune
by violating the Trading With The Enemy Act with uh, well, Zeig Heil, Grandpa!
-
- Last September TIME ran a piece titled The World According
to George Bush, his Weltanschauung (world view). Considering his "achievements"
here and abroad, it should be Weltuntengang (end of the world).
-
- And back to the steroidal governor for a moment. On that
all important issue of gay marriage, his definition will get your head
spinning. He said, "I think that gay marriage is something that should
be between a man and a woman." Has he been in California lately?
-
- "I looked into his soul." GW Bush about Putin.
-
- "I looked into his soul." Zell Miller about
Bush.
-
- They sure do keep the McScottie Potty Factor busy.
