Follow Us On Over!

We have a new home for our insanity. Of course this blog is still our heart and soul because we love all things politic and we will continue on here. But follow us on over for some musings by the typist. About us. About her (ego ego) and life, we guess.

Oh, and the typist is apparently writing here too:

You can follow that link at your own risk. She calls us muses and that hurts our feelings. We are not muses. We are amusing. So there.

Seriously Mr. Bush? Are You Really an Idiot?

Seriously Mr. Bush, you were unprepared for war? You say the government is "in it" with regard to the recession? And you are pretty sure you helped elect Obama?


What a big old surprise. George Bush in an interview with Charlie Gibson today said a couple of cute little things.
First:

"I think I was unprepared for war," Bush told ABC News' Charlie Gibson in an interview airing today on "World News." "In other words, I didn't campaign and say, 'Please vote for me, I'll be able to handle an attack,'" he said. "In other words, I didn't anticipate war. Presidents-- one of the things about the modern presidency is that the unexpected
will happen."

By and large I think our poor, brave troops were unprepared for war. They didn't have the requisite equipment to safeguard themselves. They were often under-trained and sometimes badly directed. You, Mr. Bush, were just an idiot. And what the heck is a "modern" presidency? One with cell phones and the internet? Do you not think the unexpected hasn't happened to other presidents before "modern" times, whatever that means?
Seriously, all I want for Christmas is for Obama to magically take over the castle. Today.

Then about the economic sump pump we all fell into:

"I'm sorry it's happening, of course," Bush said in a wide-ranging interview with ABC's "World News," which was airing Monday. "Obviously I don't like the idea of people losing jobs, or being worried about their 401(k)s. On the other hand, the American people got to know that we will safeguard the system. I mean, we're in. And if we need to be in more, we will."

We're in? In what George?

Safeguard the system? Which system would that be? The one that you let get out of control while you were sleeping or the one that you tried to control and screwed up?

And last, Bush actually tells Gibson that he his presidency helped elect Obama:

"I think it was a repudiation of Republicans," he told Charlie Gibson of ABC News, according to a transcript released by the network Monday. "And I'm sure some people voted for Barack Obama because of me. I think most people voted for Barack Obama because they decided they wanted him to be in their living room for the next four years explaining policy."

Oh. My. Dog. Does this guy think the sun and earth exist to serve him? Yes of course Obama won in part because of the crap we have endured for the last eight years, but it was never about George Bush the person or his inept presidency. It was about our future. About Inegrity. And about doing the right thing for ourselves and the global world we all live in.

And last, but not least, for the simple fact that Obama can write, speak and spell all at the same time. The simple fact that he can speak in complete sentences is no small matter George. Let us just look to your interview.

By the way, have you been introduced?
George, this is Sarah Palin.
Palin, this is Bush.
You two were separated at birth. On another planet.
Let us get you both a cab so that you can find your way home.
To that other planet.
