By BaxterGeorge W. Bush is going to speak to the nation tomorrow morning. At 7:45! Gee, nobody's busy eating breakfast, taking their kids to school, or going to work at that time, right?
Get ready for another awful day. After all, we started today with some Presidential remarks, and look what happened.
The only thing that stuns us cats more than the bad behavior of the Republicans and their hapless nominees, John McCain and Sarah Palin, is the supreme irrelevancy of the current Republican President. What do you do when your own base doesn't even listen to you?
We know. You wander out to a Munchkin-sized lectern on the White House grounds and you haltingly read a few meaningless platitudes that your staff wrote for you, stumbling over a few words while you do it. The American people would be terrified by all this if they still bothered to pay you any mind.
What a legacy. An ignored PDB, the loss of the World Trade Center and 3,000 lives, a failed mission in Afghanistan, Bin Laden walking free, the illegal invasion of a country that didn't attack us, the deaths of more than 4,000 soldiers, an emboldened Iran, North Korea back in the nukes business, the total politicization of the Justice Department, the dismantling of the Bill of Rights, two new right-wing morons on the Supreme Court, a drowned American city, a world that hates us, and now, the destruction of the global economy.
We're sure we've left something out, but Bush's disaster list is way too long, even for those of us with nine lives.
