Think it will get published, or is it too over-the-top? Any ideas for suggestions/edits appreciated!
If the most recent lie vomited forth by George W. Bush -- that he’s never been “stay the course” in regards to his Iraq policy -- wasn’t enough for the thinking portion of America on which to gag, we were subsequently treated to the absurd claim by White House spokesman Tony Snow that “we went back and looked today and could only find eight times where he ever used the phrase ‘stay the course’.” In addition, we’re expected to believe the curious explanation that the president is no longer using the phrase because, well…”staying the course” was never really about staying the course in the first place.
When I heard Snow’s preposterous assertions, I recognized it for what it was -- yet another premeditated Orwellian/Rovian “black-is-white, war is peace” wad of misinformation calculated by a morally corrupt presidency to bury the dreadful, over-cooked peas that is this administration’s botched Iraq policy under a pile of mashed potatoes, hoping nobody would notice.
Apparently neither Snow, nor the veracity-challenged Bush administration, is very well schooled in using the search engine Google, or the search feature on their very own White House website. When I heard this White House sanctioned rot, that’s exactly where I went. And what did I find?
In the course of a little more than an hour, I was able to discover – on the White House’s own website archive of the president’s speeches – that in fact, the president has used the term in official speeches and comments at least thirty times. That’s not counting the times he’s likely used the phrase and the moribund ideology behind it in a myriad of interviews, nor the countless times various administration members have undoubtedly parroted their boss’s drivel. Sort of like Jack Abramhoff’s “handful of visits” to the White House, n’est pas?
The misguided half of the American electorate who voted this amoral cabal of liars into power not once, but twice, need to join the rest of us who have been morally outraged over the administration’s mismanagement of our country for six long, disastrous years, and demand impeachment. If you fail to do so, then the only truth that will matter is that those who pull Bush’s strings will know that the American people are as clueless as the president himself.
