So the Republicans in the Senate are having a Talk-A-Thon. Is that what's known in French as
filibustier?
The French have a word for fig leaf, too. Feuille de figue. Guess that's on the Republican rejection list, too. Less than 2 months ago the French, offered Dubya a huge fig leaf and said that with a calendar for elections and withdrawal, they'd lead the UN into Iraq to provide security for the transition? And the idiot-who-is-craven Dubya spurned them!
Today, AFP reports that,leaf in hand the size of a freeway billboard, France again "said Thursday it wants to help the United States in its "tragic crisis" over Iraq but believes a rapid handover of power to the Iraqis remains essential." What is this...the 20th offer or so to get us off the hook? The rest of the world is right, it takes a moron to drive the USA off a cliff.
Dubya may trust in poodles, but the best friend in adversity we've ever had is France. They are constant, persistent, reasonable, and generous.
Which brings me to the subject of Bush's boasts:
Eye'm ridin' herd!
It's time to put your cards on the table!
Eye'm bringin' peace to Ulster.
Bring 'em on.
Eye'm a uniter!
We're takin' him out!
Do we need more evidence of his incompetence, his hollowness, his irrationaliity and his meanness, especially when he's souped up on whatever drug punches through his incurious self to display his foolish arrogance?
