Pathetic

Morialekafa will not appear for the next two or three days. You have all heard that classic advice: go west old man. I will go where there are no computers, no television, and few people. Happy days! Perhaps I can have a few hours of sanity during these nightmare years.

Having watched excerpts from Bush's latest Press Conference the only word to describe his performance is pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. This is a guy who is in so far over his head that he no longer has any connection with reality. When asked serious questions about Iraq, our strategy, how we got involved, etc., he just plain and simply babbles. He continues to link Iraq to 9/11, continues to argue that taking out Sadam Hussein was the greatest thing since the invention of fire, continues to claim that Iraq is the breeding ground for terrorists (which it is now, thanks to Bush/Cheney), continues to argue we have to stay the course or they will attack us here at home (he seems to think that if we withdraw they have ships and planes loaded with terrorists who will immediately attack mainland U.S.A.). I personally believe he is becoming completely unbalanced (if he was ever balanced in the first place). Using the term pathetic to describe his performance is actually being generous. How anyone can continue to support this absolute disaster of a president is totally beyond my comprehension. Every time he appears in public now he just reinforces his image as an absolutely incompetent, uninformed, and mainly disinterested participant in events so far over his head as to be incomprehensible to him. What are we supposed to say - we know he's an idiot but he's our idiot?"

John Karr, John Karr, John Karr, John Karr, John Karr. All day long now for the last couple of days that's all you hear - John Karr. If it turns out he is simply another nutcase looking for attention he will have certainly succeeded beyond any reasonable expectations. Were we really supposed to wait breathlessly all morning to witness his two minute extradition hearing? I no longer watch CNN but I confess I turn it on once in a while to see what the market is doing. I swear that everytime in the last couple of days it was always John Karr. Typical for our MSM. It's like nothing else is going on in the world. They have 24 hours of constant news and what they give is the same story over and over and over. And it's usually some ridiculous car chase or fire or hostage situation, or whatever. It's as if they don't really want you to hear any real serious news (which, of course, they don't). If Bush is pathetic, our MSM are dismal.

You know, I truly dislike George Allen, Rick Santorum, Trent Lott, and a few others like them. I dislike them because they are racist, sexist, homophobic holdovers from the early 20th century. But mostly I despise them because they are so unutterably stupid. They are stupid because they seem to believe they can actually get away with their racism, etc. at the present time. They are not intelligent enough to realize that they should keep their disgusting beliefs private. They seem unable to understand that playing to their local constituencies racism and homophobia is not going to play well nationally. Perhaps if all goes well we can be rid of them soon. We do not need such people in our government, not now, not ever. The thought of them actually trying to be nominated as presidential candidates is enough to make one want to vomit. But what do I know? I said Reagan could never be president. I said Bush could never become president. I thought the American public had at least a semblance of brains and common sense. Alas, I was wrong again.
