WTF Is It Now?!?

'ABUSING THE PUBLIC INTEREST'
"Let me get this straight. Last week, while standing in front of a specially prepared backdrop with the words 'Corporate Responsibility' plastered all over it, President George W. Bush told Wall Street he is outraged by the kind of corporate malfeasance that is now causing the stock market to tank. Then Monday, standing in front of a special backdrop that said 'Strengthening our Economy,' he promised to crack down on corporate greed.
"Greed, eh? Corporate responsibility, eh? How about cashing in on family influence, insider trading, running with con men, and stealing the taxpayers blind? Can you write all that on a fancy backdrop, George?

"What is he going to do? Put his entire family and most of his friends in jail?" - Read more of Joyce Marcel at the American Reporter.



'NO CLOTHES, NO BRAIN, NO MORALS'
"I've never been one to say 'I told you so,' but in this case I can't help it. As a matter of fact, over 50 million Americans spoke up on November 7, 2000, and said the same thing I've been saying: George W. Bush is unfit to be President of the United States. And now, finally, the people, the press, and even the businesses that supported Bush are realizing what the rest of us knew all along—that shoehorning an incompetent moron into the oval office wasn't such a good idea after all.

"Way back in the campaign, in the early days of 2000, we heard the press telling us how 'likable' George W. Bush was, as opposed to 'stiff' and 'uptight' Al Gore. Nothing I have seen of Bush, from the early days of his campaign up until now, has suggested anything 'likeable' about him. He comes off as an uninformed, ignorant child who has lived his entire life with a silver spoon in his mouth, and that might be the nicest thing I can say. But the press kept telling us how 'down to earth' he was. So they said.

"At this point, I don't think George W. Bush's performance as president can be rated against anyone else's; there just isn't another case of such breathtaking incompetence to compare it to. He has managed to take a country that was in fine shape, maybe the best shape it's been in decades, and drive it into the ground in 18 short months. Under Clinton we had peace, prosperity, unprecedented growth, and some sense of security. Under Bush we have had horrific terrorist strikes, war without end, curtailed civil rights, skyrocketing unemployment, recession, federal deficits instead of surpluses, and a stock market that has lost more than a third of it's value since Bush's ascension to the Oval Office." - And I thought I was cranky.
