I'm having trouble hating bu$h.
Now don't get me wrong here, I try to be a good Murkin but I guess I'm just a late bloomer. And I will admit that I didn't act soon enough when the Publicans were trying to tell me--and show me by example--that it was the Patriotic Duty Of Every American to Hate the President.

Looking back, I can't believe how many clues I let slip by me! Every time I turned on the TV or got on the Internet, there was somebody hating the President; telling me that I wasn't a True Murkin if I did not Hate The President.

Sad to say, it took me until January of 2001 to begin to do my duty. I think it was January 20th before I was able to begin Hating The President.

Now, better than three years later, this shit is wearing me out! I don't want to be a slacker or anything, but hating bu$h is a hell of a lot more work than hating Bill-and-Hitlery.

I guess it's because things were so much simpler back in the 90s. I mean, Bill-and-Hitlery won the election, so you pretty much knew who the Evil Ones were. It's all so different with bu$h!

Bear with me here for a minute. Because bu$h came to power under such a cloud, hating him involves hating his brother Jeb and hating the Five Justices and hating James Baker. Then I have to hate Dick Cheney because he's really in charge. After that, I have to hate Rumsfeld for putting troops into Iraq and getting them killed so Supporting Our Troops begins to take valuable time away from Hating the President.

Then, I have to hate Colin Powell for taking so long to make up his damn mind about whether we were going to bomb Saddam's ass off or what. After that, I have to hate Condo Lizard Reissssss for not telling bu$h that al Qaeda was on the way, giving him an out on 9/11 and depriving me of another reason to Hate The President!

Dammit, I'm running out of hours in the day to hate the Committee That Is The President. Even if I rotate them all, even if I use the Two Minutes' Hate model, I just don't have the time or energy to devote to my Sacred American Duty to Hate The President. Boy, if I had a job, this shit would be taking time away from it!

I don't even have time to hate Poppy and Bar for birthing this Reptile Who Squats In Office--and that really pisses me off! (Hell, I've probably even left out a few people that I should also be hating.) DUers, what the fuck am I going to do about this? Help a brother out!! Hook me up with some tips on doing my proper duty!

Hatefully yours,
:evilgrin:

1. I feel quite the same way
Maybe it's because my initials are DBT. But, I swear on a stack of Bibles (KJV or NIV, as you choose), I am not the DUer known as dbt.

I have a lot of anger at Team Bush, and think that they should be investigated for "High Crimes and Misdemeano(u)rs", but I have no actual hatred for them. This is why I can't get too upset about it when Laura says something dunderheaded, or when one or both of the "Tequila Twins" do something "naughty".

Hell, I even watched a PBS show on TV last night (after JCSuperstar) that featured Karl Rove, and found a few of his remarks insightful.

Hatred is always a waste of time, but an intelligent and well-controlled sense of outrage is half the fun of politics -- and it also helps advance The Cause ... any Cause. And we're going to need as much finely "crafted" and "nuanced" anger as we can muster to propel Team Bush to that Grand Jury they deserve.

2. At the risk of overstepping the bounds of decency...
knowing the reputation I have for never swearing on this board:evilgrin: I would suggest that it is far too time consuming to hate them all individually (as they can really be morphed into one group easily. I call them P.I.S.S. (The Presidential Institution of Sleazebags and Shitheads). That way I only have to hate the organization. Try it, you'll like it!

3. To paraphrase Bush's bedbuddy Frist...
I don't hate Prez Bush. I just hate what he does.

4. Hmmmm...hating Bush. Well, let's start with the basics
1. He's a rich boy.

Who likes rich boys? Nobody. But it's worse! He's a rich boy who tries to act like a good old boy. Now think: you ever seen a pic of Georgie in any bluejeans other than Sergio Valente? I didn't think so!

2. His cowboy hats are always too clean.

Clint never wore a clean cowboy hat. Heck, even REAGAN had a few dirty cowboy hats. Why? BECAUSE HE ACTUALLY USED THEM.

3. He is scared of another man's penis.

Let's face it, penises can't shoot guns, drive cars while drunk, light matches around gasoline, launch cruise missiles, mouth off to big dudes in bars, hardly ANYTHING that can actually get you hurt. So why be scared of a penis? It's easy: he admires the penis and won't admit it. If he'd just admit his passion for Clinton's penis (AKA Clenis), I'd have a lot more respect for him.

Well, I have to go make breakfast for my family, but there's more reasons to hate him, I assure you!

Kindest regards,

Vickers

5. Hating Bush is not required. Voting against him is required.

8. I HATE THEM
I don't think they are incompetent...I think their intent is evil. Evil wrapped in the cloak of goodness is dangerous and must be destroyed!!!!
