"It's his way or no way"
Three long, dark, miserable years ago unelected fascist punk Smirky the Moron called for the nation's leaders to "put politics behind us and work together" after the bitter Florida recount.

But as Emperor Snippy begins the final year of his term with Satan tonight's State of the Union address, partisans on both sides say the tone of political discourse is as bad as ever -- if not worse.

"The tone changes as long as you're having a monologue," said Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Hunksville). "If you question them one iota, they challenge your patriotism."

"Well, they can kiss my ass," I would have added.

The candidate who advertised himself as "a uniter, not a divider" has failed to narrow any of his country's glaring social and racial divisions.

The gaps are wider now than when he came to office. His stewardship of the mighty US economy has been disastrous... The only beneficiaries of what hardly deserves to be called an economic policy are his pals in the multimillionaire class, which includes many in his Cabinet... Bush has failed to extend his "compassionate conservatism" much further than his immediate circle.
