In honor of President's Day, our wingnuts have gotten a little extra wingnuttier.
First, Bush's gave a President's Day speech honoring George Washington. In addition to Bush's other superpowers, such as looking deep into other leaders' eyes, he can also speak for George Washington. This is what he had to say regarding the Iraq War:
As we work to advance the cause of freedom around the world, we remember that the father of our country believed that the freedoms we secured in our revolution were not meant for Americans alone.
He once wrote, "My best wishes are irresistibly excited whensoever in any country I see an oppressed nation unfurl the banners of freedom."
It is easy to take George Washington's successes for granted and to assume that all those events were destined to unfold as they did. Well, the truth is far different. America's path to freedom was long and it was. And the outcome was really never certain.
Apparently, Bush is not only the reincarnation of Reagan, Truman and Lincoln; he's also the reincarnation of George Washington. In his own mind, at least. In my mind, he's Nixon, Buchanan and Hoover rolled up into one person. Yes, Bush is just like Washington, except for the effectiveness, competence and truthfulness. Well, they're both named George anyway.
The next item, apparently Richard Mellon Scaife had a change in heart.
Christopher Ruddy, who once worked full-time for Mr. Scaife investigating the Clintons and now runs a conservative online publication he co-owns with Mr. Scaife, said, "Both of us have had a rethinking."
"Clinton wasn’t such a bad president," Mr. Ruddy said. "In fact, he was a pretty good president in a lot of ways, and Dick feels that way today."
So, the guy responsible for bankrolling the Clinton-hunting 90s is now sorry? Color me unsympathetic. Unfortunately, the Clinton rules of journalism are still around and the Right Wing Noise Machine is operating on all cylinders. Mr. Scaife, you're not forgiven.
Final item, apparently Bush has some special plans for bin Laden, if he ever looks for him again. From Wonkette:
According to crazy Israel-hating liberal webtards Ariel Sharon, Bush had a dream. If he ever got hold of Bin Laden, Bush told the Israeli prime minister, "I will screw him in the ass!"
Speaking of George Bush, with whom Sharon developed a very close relationship, Uri Dan recalls that Sharon’s delicacy made him reluctant to repeat what the president had told him when they discussed Osama bin Laden. Finally he relented. And here is what the leader of the Western world, valiant warrior in the battle of cultures, promised to do to bin Laden if he caught him: "I will screw him in the ass!"
Do you kiss you mother with that mouth, George? I expect to see media reports about Bush's vulgarity, after all the media doesn't have a double standard for liberal bloggers does it?
