the latest from mark morford, and definitely worth the read:

George W. Bush Is Dead To Me
Nation cringes as the worst president ever continues long, painful slog to the end
- By Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist
Friday, July 7, 2006



It is like some sort of virus. It is like some sort of weird and painful rash on your face that makes you embarrassed to walk out the door and so you sit there day after day, waiting for it to go away, slathering on ointment and Bactine and scotch. And yet still it lingers. Some days the pain is so searing and hot you want to cut off your own head with a nail file. Other days it is numb and pain-free and seemingly OK, to the point where you think it might finally be all gone and you allow yourself a hint of a whisper of a positive feeling, right up until you look in the mirror, and scream.


George W. Bush is just like that. Everyone I know has had enough. Everyone I know is just about done. There is this threshold of happy deadened disgust, this point where the body simply resigns itself to the pain, a point where the disease, the poison has seeped so deeply into the bones that you just have to laugh and shrug it all off and go for a drink. Or 10.

. . . . . . . .

This is where it stands: Bush can in no way risk alienating the ultra-right-wing bonk-job contingent that put him in office (they are, considering Bush's 32-percent approval rating, the only ones left even remotely supporting him -- even though, according to many estimates, they're starting to abandon him, too), and hence all policy and all agenda items from here on out will be even more vicious and desperate in an attempt to shore up the base. Hence trying to mutilate the Constitution to ban gay marriage. Hence attacking the New York Times and claiming newspapers are endangering American lives.

In other words, Bush's latest nasty, Rove-designed salvos and upcoming attacks to save a sliver of power and pride and sneering GOP control are just the beginning.

However -- praise Jesus and pass the scotch -- they are the beginning of the end.

1. Republicans are such odd undisciplined creatures

W/Rove viciously smeared McCain and his entire family after New Hampshire in 2000 and ended up with McCain hugging the W. It sickened me to the core.

They're like feral cats.

3. * is the 21st century icon of death.

3K+ 9/11 victims
100K+ innocent Iraqis
2500+ innocent troops
Death to the US reputation abroad by ignoring the Geneva Convention and sponsoring State sanctioned torture - PRICELESS.

And then there's that death of Democracy in the US thing.

* IS the Death administration.
