Reply #37: That poor horribly deluded soul.

[Bouncy Ball]

Whoever wrote that, God, how out of touch with reality can they get?

Except for #1 on that list (can't really say if he goes looking for trouble, but sure seems like it), the rest of it he completely violates:

3. They were always on the side of right.

Nope, attacking a country that did nothing to us isn't right. No matter how you twist and contort yourself.

4. They defended good people against bad people.

Uh, nope. 3000 Americans died on his watch. And over 100,000 Iraqis and 1800 US troops have been killed as a result of his immoral, illegal war on a country that did nothing to us. Doesn't qualify in my book as defending good people. Qualifies as having good people killed or in the case of 9/11, letting them be killed, despite numerous SPECIFIC WARNINGS.

5. They had high morals.

See # 3 and 4. He is automatically disqualified from this. See bloodshed in Iraq.

6. They had good manners.

I have so many examples of this man being a horse's ass, I don't know where to start. A recent one would be calling the retiring Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O'Connor an "old gal." Cleaning his reading glasses on the sweater of a woman fixing the microphones on The Letterman Show. Flipping people off. Bombing a country that did nothing to us is pretty damn rude, too.

7. They were honest.

Lying about the reasons why we should attack another country would disqualify you pretty badly.

8. They spoke their minds and they spoke the truth,
regardless of what people thought or "political correctness,"
which no one had ever heard of back then.

Spoke the truth? bush and speaking the truth? Doesn't compute. If he's talking, he's lying.

9. They were a beacon of integrity in the wild, wild West.

bush a beacon of integrity? A lying warmongering treasonous son of a bitch hardly is a beacon of integrity.

10. They were respected. When they walked into a saloon
(where they usually drank only sasaparilla), the place became quiet, and the bad guys kept their distance.

Um, he IS the bad guy. One of many. He's the American Bad Guy, much to all of our shame.

11. If in a gunfight, they could outdraw anyone. If in a fist fight, they could beat up anyone.

ROFL! This is a guy who is terrified of horses. Ooooookay. *I* could take him. And considering his physical and cognitive decline over the past several years, I think possibly Haley Joel Osment could take him, too.

12. They always won. They always got their man. In victory, they rode off into the sunset.

Victory? Where? What victory? Does this guy call the deaths of thousands of innocents and the destruction of a country victory? Wow, how fucked up.

By the way, bush is not from Texas, he's from Connecticut. He's not a cowboy, he's afraid of horses. YOU CANNOT BE A COWBOY AND BE AFRAID OF HORSES. It's like Rule #1, ok? It's just NOT done. He's not a rancher, never has been, never will be. He's from a northeastern blueblood family of privilege and he cackles all day thinking about how he's fooled idoits like the deluded soul who wrote that sad pitiful email.

He plays dress up. REAL role models do NOT play dress up, they are the real thing. They feel no need to prance around on an aircraft carrier pretending to be a flyboy when they aren't. They feel no need to pretend to work "cutting brush" if they aren't actually allergic to working any harder than it takes to pour a Wild Turkey and turn on the Cartoon Network. Actually the real thing doesn't need to SAY five hundred fucking times how hard their job is and how much work it is. THEY JUST FUCKING DO IT. Actions speak louder than words or costumes.

If you are the real thing, people will know it and there is no need for fucking COSTUMES and DRESS UP and having a bad case of verbal diarrhea trying to convince people you are something you are not.

And people of integrity, by the way, see right through that crap like Saran wrap on an ice cube.
