The Boomer-in-Chief Nears a Milestone: The Big 6-0
By Peter Baker

He talks about the March of Freedom around the world, but it's the March of Time at home that's on President Bush's mind lately. No matter how fast he pedals that mountain bike, no matter how much he towel-snaps foreign leaders, the Yale-by-way-of-Texas frat boy is facing the big 6-0 next week.

The idea no doubt will shock many fellow baby boomers, accustomed as they are to the mantle of youth in American society. And it certainly seems to have shocked the president, who regularly mentions the approaching milestone to audiences and jokingly blames his graying hair on his mother.

"Getting older by the minute," he sighed during a speech at a college in Omaha a few weeks ago. "I know I'm not supposed to talk about myself, but in a month I'm turning 60. For you youngsters, I want to tell you something. When I was your age, I thought 60 was really old. It's all in your mind. It's not that old. Really isn't."

But if his generation likes to obsess about the broader meaning of it all, its most powerful member seems content to let others decide. What does it mean that the generation of revolution has become the establishment? What does it mean that the generation of idealism has been tempered by reality? What does it mean that the generation of vigor and optimism now begins to peer over the hill at mortality? If Bush has any thoughts on that, he's keeping them to himself.





For some reason, fate, God, whatever - has decided to let this walking pile of filth live to a ripe age of 60, and with medical care for the super-rich being what it is, especially when that millionaire is occupying the White House, he looks on target to exceed the US average life expectancy.



Here are just a few good people whose lives were cut short while this maniacal conscienceless freak was allowed to live on and walk our green earth in comfort and ease:



Ryan White
December 6, 1971~ December 17, 1984

Had the misfortune of contracting AIDS during the Reagan years, when the president's priorities were giving his rich friends tax cuts and exploding the deficit with insanely high defense spending (sound familiar?) Reagan was so unconcerned about the AIDS epidemic that he never even publicly said the word until 1987, a full 6 years after it was discovered.




Ashley Eckles

She was only 4 years old On April 19, 1995, when a white, Christian conservative American terrorist decided to take out his crazed anger against the US government on a building full of office workers and 19 children in a day care center.




Lee Remick
12/14/1935 - 07/02/1991

Down-to-earth, but beautiful, with otherworldly eyes, this talented actress was taken from us all too early due to cancer.




Paul Wellstone

21-Jul-1944~25-Oct-2002


This tireless fighter for progressive values spent decades working to get better housing for the poor, affordable health care, free lunch for poor children, protecting free speech, and finally opposing the foul and obviously fraudulent Iraq war, even as so many other cowardly democrats lost their spines in the hysteria leading up to war on the eve of his death in an untimely plane crash.

Even in death, right-wing ghouls and their accomplices in the media couldn't leave him alone, ridiculing his loved ones for having a memorial service that was as idealistic and political as the man had been throughout his entire adult life.



Casey Sheehan

May 29 1979-April 4 2004
Son of anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan, he idealistically enlisted after 9-11, wanting to protect his country from terrorists, trusted his president and died pointlessly in Iraq at the age of 24. Bush & Cheney's orchestrated campaign of lies and fraud against the American people were instrumental in his needless death.


And the list of beautiful, inspiring people who were taken far too young from us goes on and on and on....



And yet this piece of trash still walks our planet.

1. Actually it's not a walk but a strut which suggest that his jockey...

...shorts are too tight and that Laura pulled them into a wedgie in the back.

2. Amen.

3. Very good post.

5. I didn't know how to fit this into the post...

...but I also had a notion of mentioning that he is approaching an age when many Americans start on a cat food diet, or an age when he could collect a social security check that would not even be 1% of the amount he makes in interest and dividends from his massive wealth (which is still a pittance compared to the fortune Cheney has amassed- mostly while on the public payroll)

But I couldn't really figure how to work those points in. I guess the post works well on its own.

6. * -- living proof that you can get older but NOT wiser!

Anyone else notice his flip-flop?

"Getting older by the minute," he sighed during a speech at a college in Omaha a few weeks ago. "I know I'm not supposed to talk about myself, but in a month I'm turning 60. For you youngsters, I want to tell you something. When I was your age, I thought 60 was really old. It's all in your mind. It's not that old. Really isn't."

7. and many more...

what is it they say " the good die young" while the evil seems to live on and on and on...

8. Sadly, it does seem to apply

The meanest, ugliest bastards in the world tend to live forever. Another of God's sick jokes.

9. And I've found it is a longer haul to outlive your enemies

than to, alas, outlive your friends.

11. I sincerely hope I live to spit on POS Bush's grave.
