Charm Offensive!!--My Aunt Fanny's Ass!!!!!!!!!

[DemocracyInaction]

I can't stand any more of this goddamn shit. Finally flipped on tv a few minutes ago to see what's new on the news. The story being introduced was a waving Laura Bush and the voice over of "is she on a charm offensive of her own" or something of that sort. Fucking bullshit. Both these bastards are hated in Europe. They are being 'received' with protests. When addressing invited guests to some events the papers report it as received with "tepid applause", etc. They still drag people up and stack them behind these losers when they can for the photo op. And the biggest rah, rah was when the asshole addressed the GI's at the German base...no duh (that ain't the European Allies, sweetheart). Stop insulting the Euopeans. They know shit and propaganda and dangerous people when they see them. They have suffered because of evil, sick bastards like Bush using propaganda to bring themselves to power. It is beyond disgusting to hear these "reports" that were already written before the plane took off for Europe. They are charming no one. They are impressing no one. And they are accomplishing jack shit. In fact, that arrogant bastard still does the cowboy act and insults his hosts. Our media should be made to wear a swatistika on the breast pocket when broadcasting.

1. I think it was on AAR this morning that I heard someone say

when someone says charm offensive, you can say they are half right.

2. No, no...

You're supposed to think "they can't possibly asserting something that deceptive and ridiculous, so it must be true." That is, if you must think about it in the first place. They prefer that you just accept it at face value. After all, they are "an Authority."

3. That steel magnolia is about as charming as Medusa

They cleared out that entire town in Germany prior to their arrival because they are so loved and admired there.

6. We certainly are!

Why Mr Bush is so sharp he makes Reagan look like an intellectual. I feel so safe and free and democratised just having him over here. But don't worry, you'll be getting him back soon.

7. Damn. Are y'all sure you can't keep him for a lil while?

I really don't think we want him. When he comes home can he bring Bliar with him? With any luck he may be out of a job soon.
