Adding insult to injury: Bush says starving India eats too much

Bush's sentiments (and those of his lieutenant Condoleezza Rice) reek of callous contempt for the world's poor. They lay bare the fact that the only perspective Bush and US imperialism is capable of is that of the US corporations. In Bush's words, the growing purchasing power of the middle class in the developing world is ``good'' because ``y'know, it's hard to sell products into countries that aren't prosperous'' (see http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/3006775.cms), he said on May 3.

In other words, India's growing appetite was pushing food prices up and causing the rest of the world to go hungry. Unfortunately, the world's people haven't mastered the art of being markets, not mouths: of tightening the belt over their bellies while loosening their purse strings ...

4. Yes, President Merde de Tete...

Good nutrition should only be allowed for those who have the blood of royalty flowing through their noble veins and arteries, like say...YOU! Otherwise, they can just live in a crack in the road and eat gravel.

9. What a dilemma for George and his base, the Have Mores

You can't sell crap to people that don't have any money, but if they have some money they want better crap. Doesn't anyone appreciate the ongoing predicament of the overrich? Are they to be left, at long last, with only one champion to advance their beleaguered cause?

Please, for the sake of the billionaires, vote for John McCain, the only candidate who truly cares about the needy greedy.

14. Yes, I suppose he's right..

But, lamented Bush, ``you start getting wealth, you start demanding better nutrition and better food''

Then you get REALLY rich, and you start demanding senseless wars and having people tortured.

Perhaps there's a lesson in here someplace, Eh dubya?

15. "...in other words...in other words..."

January, 2009 cannot get here fast enough.
