I wanted some information about the Medal of Freedom, as I was going to post and suggest that our upcoming democratic president award Seymour Hersh the Medal of Freedom, especially after reading Turkana's diary. And so I came upon this hilarious, supposedly serious Medal of Freedom website. See if you agree with the anonymous owner's interpretation of the history of Bush and his Dream Team.
This website does list all (I assume) MOF recipients up until 2003. You can view them listed by just their names, the year they received it, or recipients by president.
Below are some quotes under Bush’s awards, laughingly called Presidents Dream Team.
If you also want to read about President William Jefferson Clinton, I’m afraid all you’ll see is a picture of Bill and Hillary on a boat, with no accompanying information, and his page is called President Clinton. Although there is a tip quoted below about how the anonymous author feels about President Clinton.
This site is obviously not up to date, as it still lists Rumsfeld and Powell as part of the Dream Team, but it is a shame that such an honor as the Medal of Freedom be associated with a domain name of the same and run by delusional people. I hope that children, when doing research for school, do not get their information from this site.
Okay, I suggest you move all liquids away from your computer, and swallow, should you have anything in your mouth. (All the emphasis is mine)
The Bush Administration "Dream Team":
Highly Qualified, More Diverse Than Any Other Presidency
Bush has some of the most respected politicians and military leaders in the country.
Many political pundits and analysts have stated that President George W. Bush has surrounded himself with an all-star team comprised of the most qualified and diverse people our government has ever seen. Unlike the previous administration, this President has surrounded himself with an honest, qualified and hard working staff needed to most effectively serve the American people. Also, our government is the most diverse in history, with the first ever African American to serve as Secretary of State, Colin Powell, and the first African American woman to serve as National Security Advisor, Condoleezza Rice.
We all should be aware of those individuals who will shape the history of our nation in this time of crisis. The hunting down of Osama bin Laden, the bombing of Afghanistan, and the downfall of the Taliban government is in the hands of our National Security "Dream Team" hand picked by President Bush. Their mission is to design a plan of attack that will achieve the specific goals of Operation Enduring Freedom.
Vice-President Richard B. Cheney
He is considered the most highly qualified Vice-President in history and will be instrumental in advising the President on military actions that should be taken by the United States.
National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice
Now her knowledge and experience will be utilized once again by George W. Bush and the current administration to ensure that appropriate policy objectives are carried out against the terrorists in the Middle East.
Donald Rumsfeld
Now it is the job of an older, wiser Donald Rumsfeld to make sure that our military is ready to fight for the abolition of the terrorist bin Laden and the destruction of the Taliban. He must aid in the designing of military operations and campaigns that will win the war on terrorism.
Secretary of State Colin L. Powell
Now, George W. Bush will use Secretary Powell to aid in creating alliances with foreign nations and gain support for America’s cause in our effort to fight the terrorist Osama bin Laden and his supporters.
Now for the wrap-up
This glimpse into the people that define this administration has hopefully provided you with confidence in the leadership of this nation.
Drum beat, please.
George W. Bush has shown us his greatness through his leadership during this trying time, his willingness to surround himself with people who have proven their abilities time and time again and his undying faith in the American people and the American way of life. He knows that we will be triumphant and that America’s ability to unite in these times is what makes the United States the greatest country that the world has ever known.
Although I laughed out loud when reading these fish stories, I do know how tragic it is that none of what was written at this site is true, and it’s not a laughing matter, yet sometimes to deal with the darkness, humor is necessary.
