The stirring of the undead (BFEE)

[moodforaday]

What's up with this ghoulish spectacle? First there's Robert "Al Qaeda R Us" Gates, then Andrew Sullivan weaves a near-eulogy of GHWB:

That way son - Sunday Times - Times Online

That way son
After his election humiliation George Bush has slunk back to Dad for help. It's Shakespeare meets Freud, says Andrew Sullivan

and now this crock of shit in Newsweek:

Can Bush Sr. and His Team Save Son’s Presidency? - Newsweek National News - MSNBC.com

George Herbert Walker Bush is a proud father; tears easily come to his eyes when he thinks of his children, all of them, and there is gracious deference in his tone when he talks about the son he calls, with emphasis, "The President."

Poppy Bush, Baker, and there's always Kissinger in the wings. Make no mistake, these people have been running the show all the way, from their corporate hideouts. And now they're getting billed as nick-of-time saviors of Iraq and of America's well-being? What *is* up with that? Makes you wonder if Poppy is headed to Paraguay, after all, or to the White House in 2008.

1. I read Sullivan's piece through several times. All in all a good piece, as fairy tales go.

What made it a fairy tale? Sullivan's sexuality? No, his Disney-esque telling of our current national disgrace. The out-and-out simpering and fawning over old man bush* was downright nauseating. One paragraph in particular, the third, just about made me hurl:

"Last week George W Bush was forced back — once again — to the protective arms of his father. They call the first President Bush “Poppy” in the family, and it captures both the authority and the slight daffiness of the 41st president. His first son always lived in his shadow — both deeply admiring him and deeply resenting him, the way dauphins often do their monarchs. ...the way dauphins often do their monarchs."????

You are kidding, right? And it doesn't get any better. Who helped you write this Harlequin Romance-style historical fiction tripe? Andrew Lloyd Webber? The Brothers Grimm?
:kick:ONE!

2. I heard that Kissinger has been a regular visitor to the Bush 43 WH

all along. He's reliving Vietnam through the chimp. Thinks we gave up too soon on vietnam and the same thing is happening in Iraq - damn those cut and runners.
