We are in agreement Bush can not write his own speeches. As is obvious from the recent politico.com interview, the man is incapable of thinking on his feet, he's completely inept and really does appear to be stupid.
Watching his speech to the Israeli Parliament, he makes the office of the president, or position of Commander in Chief, look like a joke. His facial features -- silly eye scrunching and inability to maintain composure -- lack of pronunciation of the English language and trademark smirk (second only to Dick Cheney's sneer) are embarrassing.
So who is behind the words this asswipe spoke? Who is the jackoff that came up with this offensive, silly and inappropriate spew? Because once again, it's not Bush (too stupid) that comes up with this shit, it's the manipulators behind the scene. Is it one of Cheney's pricks? Is Rove hovering in the background?
As with so many other instances of this administration, it's not always the crime it's the cover-up. The crime here is using the opportunity on foreign soil to use the platform for "breaching protocol by playing partisan politics overseas." (NYTimes.com) And the White House claims they knew this speech might be misinterpreted as aimed at Barack Obama. No shit, you planned it to be.
It's such bullshit, so who's behind it? My belief is finding out that information would be useful, but I'm not sure how you go about finding who has written a particular speech for the president. I only know that occasionally this information comes out for lightening rod speeches like the State of the Union that first introduced "Nigerian yellow flake uranium." Is it worth the time to expose who might have helped draft this offensive, ridiculous spew of crap that W seemed to snicker his way through, looking like kid that just stole a cookie knowing he'd done wrong but self-congratulating as if he'd sneaked on by.
Let's not let this disappear but make it another one of the huge PR blunders of this administration.
