Bush leaguer

U.S. president leading nation into deadly quagmire
By BILL KAUFMANN -- Calgary Sun


As the charred, corpses pile up in the fiasco he pined so petulantly for, George W. Bush calls it sweet progress.

The White House squatter, who refuses to visit hospitalized U.S. soldiers he's sent needlessly to their maiming, remains safely ensconced in his reality vacuum, trafficking in the narcotic of denial many of his countrymen seem happy to ingest.

To help them swallow, his administration has banned media pictures of flag-draped caskets returning from Iraq.

The world today is a safer place because of me, babbles this absurd little man, as yet another car bomb rends flesh and terrorist recruitment basks in its Bush boom.

snip:

New heights of hatred of a rogue America is just jealousy, opines the oblivious "leader" who boasts of spurning newspapers in favour of "objective" news reports from close aides.

1. I fell asleep, a little over 3 years ago
I woke up, and I was in Wonderland. Everything was upside-down. My leaders were not the same; they were thugs and criminals. Politicians, the other people who could possibly stop this man, nod their heads in agreement. They let him have his way.

Like a tornado that destroys everything in its wake, BushCo rips through families, businesses, states, and leaves wreckage in its wake.

I wish this nightmare could be over soon.
