My LTTE on Bush's treacherous and stupid statements

[nichomachus]

They limit us to 200 words -- there was so much I couldn't say.

George Bush, racing himself to the bottom, has reached new lows.

First was a ludicrous assertion that he gave up golf as a sacrifice for the troops.That assertion is a slap in the face to the troops and their families, tens of thousands of whom have sacrificed much more than a leisurely game.

I can see where in the world of Bush's elite, giving up a trifle like golf could be viewed as sacrificial. What next? Having the servants not strain his lemonade?

Then, Bush dove into the muck with his claim that Democrats are akin to Hitler's appeasers. Has he forgotten that Hitler early on was a darling of the corporate elite, or what Bush calls his "base?" He also forgets that as the Nazis rumbled into Poland, his grandfather was still providing banking services to the Third Reich, something old Prescott stopped only when the bank was seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act. There's appeasement for you.

More important, Bush seems ignorant of the fact that many who have sacrificed life and limb in his war of aggression in the Middle East are, in fact, Democrats, and are not appeasers. He just spit on those troops. Shame.

Seeing as how the paper is a right-wing rag of the first order and I live in a Republican stronghold, it will be interesting whether (a) they run it and )b) they leave in the part about Prescott the Traitor.

1. The Hitler reference is a preemptive strike

to avoid war crimes charges against himself. All the neocons' neckties must be feeling a little tight these days.

2. Very nice!

I find that word-limits on LTTE's are greatly helpful in focusing one's thoughts. You've crafted a succinct and hard-hitting attack against a pseudopresident who is too seldom called out for his bullshit.

Nicely done. I hope that it sees print, even if your local paper is too RW.

4. Oh -- I forgot

there are 120 golf courses within a 20-minute drive from my house.

7. I recall when the GOP Congress put in many around DC.

I am thinking they were not for the lower ranks in the service. The one at the Naval hospital was only for officers when my husband was there. I guess the DOD paid for them so Congress and the service could use them. Course the one at the naval hospital was just a hang over from all that 'class' stuff the navy was so good at. I would hardly say McCain would be called a man of the people.

5. Go get 'em Nicho! K & R!!

It'll be interesting to see whether they keep in the Prescott part.

:popcorn:

I mean, Nazi sympathizers are, like, soooo embarrassing!
