George W. Bush owes the world an apology.

[Island Blue]

Ann Richards once said that George W. Bush was born with a silver foot in his mouth. (Or was it a silver spoon up his nose, I forget.) Here's a man that has never done an honest days work in his entire freakin' life. He spent his early years partying, boozing and going AWOL from a cushy stateside National Guard assignment, so there was no chance of him getting his sorry ass shot at in Viet Nam.

Fast forward to more recent history. As Governor, he laughed at the pleads of Carla Faye Tucker, a woman who he had condemned to die. As president*, he has stolen two elections, failed to react to repeated warnings that the United State was under an immanent threat, pissed in his pants in front of a room of 2nd grade children when he found out that threat had been carried out, lied the US into one war and lost interest in another (perhaps legitimate) war, while taking his tiny little mind off of the real target, Osama bin Laden.

Along the way he has screwed the poor and rewarded the top 1% with riches beyond their wildest imagination, lied about EVERYTHING, lost two wars, the goodwill of people world wide, a grand American city, and most importantly, several thousand American citizens due to war and disastrous emergency management. Least we forget, on his watch we also lost an entire fucking planet!

Of course being a generous giver, he has spread his misery across the globe, and is responsible for perhaps 10s of thousand of deaths in Iraq and elsewhere.

He has been disastrous for the environment, is determined to ruin ANWAR, threatened to eliminate Social Security, has turned his back on millions of Americans in need of basic health care yet used tax payers money to fly from the pig farm in Texas to DC in order to attempt to prolong the suffering of a brain dead woman. He has stripped American citizens of rights that the very foundation of democracy rests upon, treating the Constitution as if it were royal toilet paper to wipe his royal ass.

These are just a few of the sins of George W. Bush. Amazingly though, he has been given a pass for all of this by a media. They are simply either too stupid or too lazy (or both) to do the work of real journalists, preferring tabloid headlines about anyone who dares to question Bush's grand authority.

Every time George W. Bush opens his mouth it's an adventure in remedial English, as he never fails to find stunning new ways to dismantle the language. This too is brushed off by the media. Sure there have been several books written about George's "Bushisims" but hey, it's funny when he mangles the word "nuclear".

Last nigh I decided that no, it's not funny any more. Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have kept me sane for the past six years - they are about the only ones with balls big enough to say what needs to be said, but for me, the Human Blooper Real that is George W. Bush is just no longer funny.Not after this week, not after John Kerry was crucified by the right (and many on the left) for leaving out a few words in a sentence. Fuck everyone who has been an accomplice in allowing George W. Bush to get away with so much shit for the past 6 years (give or take 30 years) and fuck everyone who did not defend John Kerry for making one honest mistake. Fuck 'em all.

George W. Bush - you owe THE WORLD an apology.
