Where has the defiant ridicule gone these days?
Every time I open another window in my browser, I find that all of the people here refer to our national zero by his legal name, Bush.

Where have the choice insults, like shrub, al-shrub, the noxious weed, the Raging Ragweed, monkey boy, the Simian Automatron, and other various and varied demonstrations of our mutual disrespect for the war criminal gone?

Have we begun to accept and fear the demagogue so soon? Have we given up the willful and shameless spite of the guy that took over the White House?

The MSM may be whoring itself out to the Neo-Con onslaught, but they haven't shut us down yet.

Remember, it isn't a freedom if you can't actually do it...

1. Dems need more ridicule in their diet
That's for sure. We have the most ridiculous man ever in the oval office, yet the talking heads can't see the emperor's nudity.

3. Maybe the word Ridicule has lost it's meaning under Bush
irony certainly has.

4. its 2005, we're destroying jericho
By turning his name in to an insult, we achieve what was not the case
before. Before, it was seen as giving way to their power... now it is
just a gutter trash word.... bush... a brand of cheap crap at discount
shops, bush, not a tree, bush, like something that should be biblically
burning, and not a shrubbery, as that is what the knights of neet
require in the forest. ;-)

Frankly, i like shrubs... so why ruin a nice word, when what we really
mean after stepping in a pile of fresh dog shit is "bush".

5. Everyone knows what there is to know about the man and Bush is all ...
we need to hear. Bonehead, Chimp, Blinky, Shrub, Beast, fuck nugget, it's all good and we all know him by all of those names.

But Bush only has four keystrokes.

6. Using my "ridcule thinking-up time" to read as much as
possible about everything this administration has done that is criminal to put together a comprehensive list. That would be the greatest ridicule possible - meantime just typing Bush or * is shorter and easier than taking that valuable time to refer to his dumb ass in a longer term of derision. The lying fuck-bucket....
