The President deplores the Russian invasion of Georgia and rightly so, but where does he think they got the idea.

Their argument is that they are saving the people of South Odessa (a breakaway Georgian province) from the Georgians, just like we saved the Iraqi's from the other Iraqi's.

Unless President George plans to send in troops, and at this point in time about all he has left is the Girl Scouts, he tends to sound a bit naive and doesn't have any moral ground to stand on.

Perhaps he could convince the American people that the Russians might be developing weapons of mass destruction and intend to launch a nuclear attack on Peoria or Brooklyn and we need to invade Russia and get them before they get us.  After all, it worked before.  Only problem is....this time they have and they could, so don't bet that he's going to do anything but talk.....I hope.

With the primaries and concession speeches over the country can get back to normalcy under the Bush Administration.  Normalcy is defined by a falling dollar, rising gas prices, falling home prices, rising unemployment, falling confidence in the government, rising floodwaters in the Midwest ect., ect.  You get the picture.

But the President, in response to this latest series of national disasters is finally taking action and doing something to rebuild our confidence in his ability to meet a crisis and handle it successfully..........  He is leaving the country. 

Says he's going to Europe.  He sent wife Laura to Afghanistan.  He didn't need to go there, they already have trouble.  But Europe is another matter.  They have been peaceful, or at least have been so since his last European tour when they were throwing rocks and protesting him in the streets.  They're all asking, 'what did we do to deserve this."  Pat Robertson should come forward and explain to them that it is retribution from God.

Meanwhile, we have Dick running the country.........somewhere in the United States.....maybe.

It just gets curiouser and curiouser.

Republican Presidential candidate John McBush has invited Senator Obama to go to Iraq with him to bring himself up to speed on what is going on there.  Obama so far has not accepted and probably won't because he thinks it will appear as if the wise old man is instructing the young upstart on the ways of the world.  In other words, Political Gamesmanship.

 Of course that runs counter to Obama's claim that he would meet with "our" (or his ) enemies without any preconditions.  But assuming McBush is in that group of enemies, he probably should take him up on the offer. And with no preconditions he could argue no armed Hummers, no military escorts, no Blackhawks overhead, no flak jackets or helmets and no Iraqi police in sight.   Just scepticism, serenity and sand.

 

The McBush Victory Tour as choreographed by the "W Administration" would go something like this. 

A liesurely stroll  through Sadr City at 2 AM with John, Fox News and Blackwater "natives" in Arab garb to see how the Iraqis live in freedom.  (No mention of the freedom from running water, sewer and electricity). 

A daytime parade through downtown Bahgdad with lots of American flags hanging in the windows.  Truckloads of Hershey Bars for John and Barack to toss to liberated children.

Maybe a stop in one of the local produce markets to purchase a decommissioned RPG as a souvenir to bring back to Congress as proof that there no longer is a need for such things in Iraq.  Make sure to get one stamped "made in Iran" for the Appropriations Committee's upcoming military budget hearings.

And as a grand finale to the "McBush March to Forced Freedom" they could pay a congenial visit  to the Abu Grahib Education, Recreational and Rehabilitation Center.  Of special interest would be the guided tour of the Dick Cheney Watersport and Information Gathering Room.

All of this would be followed by a return to the US with a joint declaration by both candidates of "Mission Accomplished" .......................again.

Scott McClellan, former Bush White House Press Secretary has stunned all the people in the President's inner circle with his candor about the Bush Presidency in his new book "What Happened".  They're all saying, "It's not the Scott we knew".  Of course not.  He's honest, and if you really knew that about him, he'd have been gone before he got there.

For the rest of the world's population, it merely confirms what we already suspected.  For the past seven years the country has been run by an opinionated short-sighted simpleton with visions of grandeur about himself and his role in history and that has allowed him to be blinded and  manipulated by a couple of plump and balding, clever and unscrupulous political hacks who could never have gotten elected dogcatcher on their own.

And when it is all over next January and the President is no longer in office and without any power or influence and therefore no longer useful, these political parasites will dump him like a hanging chad that has outlived it's election day.........................  And he's not smart enough to know it.

The talk is "to talk or not to talk, that is the question".  

Obama says he'll talk to anybody, even the enemy.  Just set the date.

McCain says,  "talking to the enemy is out of the question without strict preconditions and precautions". 

HIllary and Bill want a campaign donation first, then we'll talk. 

'Course, I always wondered what you talk about with people you don't like.  The weather only goes so far and pictures of your kids won't hold 'em long either.

I suspect they talk about what's wrong with each other.  It plays good at home, insures that nothing will get done and sets the schedule for the next meeting.  Amazing what some people will do to get another free lunch.

The squirrels were out on the political trail this past week.  

Hillary was drawing yawns from the fellow behind her on camera at one of her speeches.

 John McCain dumped Reverend Hagee from whom he sought an endorsement last month.  Reverend Hagee returned the compliment by dumping John McCain.

Barack Obama believes the National Anthem should be replaced with "I'd Like To Teach the World to Sing" from the Pepsi commercials.

And Karl Rove may be arrested and locked up by Congress?

Meanwhile, George W. Bush is still trying to explain that appeasement really doesn't mean what he said it meant last week and President Cheney is still missing,......... but no one cares.

Seems we're still fussing over the President's comments about appeasement to the Israeli Knesset.  That's their equivalent of our Congress.  

Story is that the President implied that Senator Obama was following in the footsteps of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlin who went to talk to Hitler and the Nazi's in 1939 and ended up giving away half of Checkoslovakia to the dictator to avoid war.  That's appeasement.  Didn't work. 

Might better have spent his time talking about the benefits of collaboration with Hitler and  Nazi Germany that his grandfather Prescott Bush engaged in at the same time and how useful it can be in creating a political dynasty in the U.S. which elected first his son and now his grandson to the Presidency.  A President I might add who has managed to give away just about everything conceivable in order to avoid nothing in particular.   That's collaboration.  Works for George.

The "oilmen vp's" came to Washington today to testify in front of Congress as to why the price of oil was so high.  The oil companies only sent the vice presidents because the presidents couldn't be bothered.  Since none of them could quite remember how many millions they made per year in salary it was also not surprising that none of them could quite remember why the price of oil was so high.  

They did "speculate" that it might have something to do with a falling dollar, general inflation and poor economic conditions in the country but didn't have a clue as to what might have caused that particular problem.

It basically was somebody else's fault but they weren't sure who. 

It was the classic "which came first, the chicken or the egg defense" presented by the "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" chimpanzees.

Congress concluded they were probably right.  It was somebody else's fault and as soon as they can figure out who, they will be added to their campaign contributors list.

Like I said the other day, we found President Cheney rummaging around Iraq only to discover on a PBS interview that he doesn't care if he ever finds us.

When asked if he cared what the American people (his employer) thought, his response was "No".  He then went on to explain that they would only interfere with his thinking on public policy.

Or, in other words, with our help he would never have been able to invent weapons of mass destruction, gutted the US economy to underwrite Halliburton, Blackwater and the government of Iraq on credit from money we have borrowed from the rest of the world, while undermining the Constitution and outsmarting the former governor of Texas who fantasizes that he is the President of the United States and thinks Dick works for him.

Well, we found President Cheney.  I had been concerned that George W. had been running around giving speeches without adult supervision and wondered where Dick was when we need him.  Turns out he's been hiding in Iraq.  Probably reviewing their waterboarding techniques to make sure it continues to not really be torture.

He says the whole place is stabilized now with only 43 people being killed today by a suicide bomber.  Apparently that's an improvement.  Here it would be a catastrophe but if Dick has solved Iraq's problems maybe it's time to come home and devote some time to ours.

He could start with the oil companies.  Whoops, he is the oil companies.  Maybe he could help with the housing foreclosures.  Aw forgot, he gets free housing.  Probably not his hot button.  Could do the economy, but.......he's already rich and those folks usually get richer if the roof caves in on the rest of us.

On second thought maybe he should just stay in Iraq and continue to save us from Osama baLama, or whatever his name is.  Been looking for him so long I can't even remember how to say his name. He's probably hiding out with Hitler in Argentina.  I understand there are some people still looking for that one too.
