Bill Maher's closing--an open message to George Bush:

"Mr. President, this job can't be fun for you any more. There's no
more money to spend--you used up all of that. You can't start
another war because you also used up the army. And now, darn the
luck, the rest of your term has become the Bush family nightma
helping poor people. Listen to your Mom. The cupboard's bare, the
credit cards maxed out, and no one's speaking to you. Mission
accomplished.

"Now it's time to do what you've always done best: lose interest and
walk away. Like you did with your military service and the oil
company, and the baseball team. It's time. Time to move on and try
the next fantasy job. How about cowboy, or space man? Now I know
what you're saying: you're saying that there's so many other things
that you as President could involve yourself in. Please don't. I
know, I know. There's a lot left to do. There's a war with
Venezuela. And eliminating the sales tax on yachts. Turning the
space program over to the church. And Social Security to Fannie Mae.
Giving embryos the vote.

"But, Sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you
govern like Billy Joel drives. You've performed so poorly I'm
surprised that you haven't given *yourself* a medal. You're a
catastrophe that walks like a man. Herbert Hoover was a ****ty
president, but even he never conceded an entire metropolis to rising
water and snakes.

"On your watch, we've lost almost all of our allies, the surplus,
four airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the
City
of New Orleans. Maybe you're just not lucky. I'm not saying you
don't love this country. I'm just wondering how much worse it could
be if you were on the other side.

"So, yes, God does speak to you. And what he's saying is: 'Take a
hint.' "

Maher is being unfair to Bush.

If I were a right wing propagnadist, a level or two up from the guys
like Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage and the other clowns employed just to
keep the angry white male populace distracted, I'd be cranking out the
phrase "It's all Bush's fault!" as fast as my sneaky little brain could
create propaganda.

Why?

Precisely because it isn't, really, Bush's fault. Bush is merely the
point man of a defective philosophy and an unworkable social and
economic model. The very same people who put Bush into place because he
would do what he was told have a *huge* interest in seeing the
defective philosophy and unworkable model perpetuated for a few more
years. There are still some government dollars that need to be siphoned
into the private-privileged sector.

They will sacrifice one of their own, particularly a minor bit player
like GWB, at the drop of a hat.

Putting the blame on Bush distracts us all from looking carefully
enough to see that it's the right wing political machine and its
defective world vision that has created more problems than it has
addressed. For the first few years, "It's Clinton's fault" played
pretty well.......but after 5 years of a GWB White House fewer people
are buying that lame crap anymore.

We're going to hear "It's Bush's fault" a lot more. We might do well to
realize that the volume of criticism is being "allowed" to rise above
the volume of defense by people who will flush GWB right down the
crapper, if need be, in order to keep raiding the treasury and moving
us toward a police state.

Chuck,
I thought you were the person who was recommended that the "National Police"
step in and take over local and national authority any time the "National
Police" think they are not up to the task.

I think I've got a bead on Chuck now, he is an oppourtunist. If it suits
Chuck's immediate needs then he is for it. Whether this need is emotional or
financial as long as it makes Chuck happy then he is for it.

You're entitled to your opinion, but you're seldom right about anything
and it would be unwise to bet the farm on your "bead". As you are
taking this to the realm of personal comments, can I assume that you've
exhausted the only line you can remember from the anti-liberal playbook
and have no futher argument to advance? If so, too bad.

Chuck,
You were upset because FEMA and the Federal Government did not get involved
with NO and LA before they asked for assistance. You said, the Feds should
have been able to see the local and state were not able to handle the
situation, and should not have waited till they asked for help, to jumped in
to save lives. They should have implemented a national evacuation plan,
because obviously the state and local governments were not prepared.

On the rest of your post, I fully agree. Let the plunder continue.
