Boosh: ‘No regime should ignore the will of its own people.’
Bush: ‘No regime should ignore the will of its own people.’»

In a statement regarding new sanctions against Zimbabwe today, President Bush declares that “no regime should ignore the will of its own people“:

The regime has also continued its ban against NGO activities that would provide assistance to the suffering and vulnerable people of Zimbabwe. No regime should ignore the will of its own people and calls from the international community without consequences.

TPM’s Eric Kleefeld notes the irony of the Bush administration, which proudly ignores public opinion in the United States, instructing other countries to listen to “the will of its own people.” Kleefeld suggests that the administration look at “the direction of polling data at home — not to mention international opinion — showing that people want a timetable to withdraw from Iraq.”

Especially after He and Cheney constantly saying "So?" to us.

Yet again, he's giving us the middle finger even as he score political points by jumping on an issue that he couldn't care less about.

6. Makes you want to break his nose, doesn't it?
In 2000, the "will of the people" was Al Gore. In 2004, it was John Kerry.

The "will of the people" was to fully investigate 9/11 & to root out al Qaeda in Afghanistan.

9. Now, don't get mixed up: the American people are NOT Dubya's own people.
Only the richest 1 percent of Americans are Dubya's own people -- and he never ignores their will.
