Terrific Bush slap-down by DUer on Huffington Post
An article of searing irony by lala_rawraw.

On Liberating Something

It seems that our dear President needs smoke blown up his ass regularly in order to maintain his fine swagger and shit-eating grin. So much so -- and apparently with WHIG being effectively (and thankfully) disbanded -- the ego dousing sessions now fall to our combat weary troops (and one planted PR expert).

As though the horror of war were not enough, soldiers are gathered in little groups and told to turn their frowns upside down in some hallucination of reality and play nice for the cameras. Even dressed, rehearsed, and provided with a hitchhikers guide to staged events, our President could not remember the names of the soldiers tasked with giving him the warm fuzzies, the questions he was to ask or the satellite delay he needed to account for.

3. Had a quick look and I'd recommend this one
A witty comment in the vein that appeals to my cynical nature.

Well done lala_rawraw...and what a lovely r/l name she has.

9. That Onion article was prophetic indeed.
Then again, Republican f-ups are par for the course.

Too bad many Americans suffer from selective/collective amnesia.

:hi:
