Official Wire: George Bush Is An Idiot
Edited on Fri Jun-03-05 06:52 AM by Mark E. Smith
Amnesty International Report Upsetting Only Because It's True

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- We all know that George W. Bush suffers from impaired speaking, but in fact, he does not know what the Hell he's talking about. Or he does and he's a liar. Either way, he's an idiot.

There is no question that America, under the leadership of the Bush administration, has developed extensive systems of abuse and continues with outrageous illegal behavior, in the name of its brand of freedom.

Amnesty recently criticized the Bush administration's treatment of detainees at Guantanamo bay, calling the facility "the gulag of our times,' a reference to political prisoners held by the former Soviet Union.

Bush and his supporters quickly responded by calling the accusation absurd.

"I'm aware of the Amnesty International report, and it's absurd - it's an absurd allegation," Bush said.

It would appear the Bush Administration objects to the word "gulag." Often people automatically assume "gulag" refers to work camps, but a closer look reveals a more broad definition, including:

"A place or situation of great suffering and hardship,
likened to the atmosphere in a prison system or a
forced labor camp."

If that isn't a universally accepted description of the condition for the detainees at Guantanamo bay, then what is?

For the Bush administration to call Amnesty's assessment of America's pattern of abuse "Absurd" is to not understand the meaning of the word.

I'd have used the term "concentration camp," but that's just me. What Rove seems to be attempting to do to counter the tidal wave of world revulsion over what is going on in Bush's torture camps is to seize upon a small detail and make it the focal point of the discussion. A couple of week's ago it was a detail in a small article in Newsweek. Now it is the use of the word "gulag." But is that what it really is about? Of course not.

1. By calling the man who has his finger on the nuclear button.....
...who controls the most powerful military machine ever known in the history of the world, who believes that God speaks to him and directs all of his actions and decisions, who mocks victims, who never listens to anyone, to call such a person an idiot, is an understatement. George W Bush is a egomaniac, sociopath psychopathic mass murderer who is capable of not only destroying his enemies, but would just as soon destroy his friends and his country to satisfy some insane itch that he has in the center of his reptilian brain.

2. Hey don't diss the reptiles!
Bush is a FREAK of nature. His brain doesn't exist, and yet the man still lives! I would rather have an honest snake for president.
