"It’s like having a blind, brain-damaged parakeet as president."

Great editorial on Buzzflash!

It’s like having a blind, brain-damaged parakeet as president. All the Chickenhawk Neo-Con "endless war" advisors sit around the parakeet and recommend war, deregulation, rollback of environmental protections, government contracts for campaign contributors, making America into an official Christian state, and so forth. Because the parakeet is mentally deficient, he keeps nodding his head all the time. The advisers interpret his nodding head as approval for their destructive plans. The Bush corporate media shills prop up the parakeet by insisting that his head nods are proof of his decisiveness and wisdom. This is what passes for good government with the Republicans and their media enablers!

It doesn't even matter if it means America was and is at greater risk for terrorism with a brain-damaged, nodding parakeet sitting in the White House. It doesn't matter that he is a puppet for reckless fundamentalist zealots, driven by narrow-minded illogical ideology. All that matters is rabidly supporting the "team effort." Maybe the team is being led over the cliff, but that’s a mere trivial complaint -– a sign of flaccid weakness.

An EVIL, blind, brain-damaged parakeet.

4. Not evil

Just really sick. Really twisted.

Not evil enough to plan out all the shit. That's the rest of the administration's role.

Bush is that special kind of twisted that remains distinct from evil. He is a sick motherfucker. Like most conservatives, he gets off on human misery and suffering.

5. I loved this line....

"All that matters is rabidly supporting the 'team effort'. Maybe the team is being led over the cliff, but that’s a mere trivial complaint..."


This effectively sums up Bushco's philosophy. Great article

6. i love it

great rip.
but my real thoughts are that bush is vicious little dim-wit. as some people who are not to bright can be.
think of his prison track record in texas -- i mean he couldn't even do the pope. so i see the kind of guy that pulls the wings off flies for the fun of it. he enjoys these wars -- the killings -- it gives him a sick thrill.
