Another disastrous Bush Interview

I listed to an interview of Bush on the McNeil News hour today. It was very depressing. Bush was a bumbling stuttering fool who just spewed forth the same old stale policies that have failed the country for the last six years. Part of me actually starts to feel sorry for the guy. And then I realize that is just my pathetic 'bleeding-heart liberal' side. There is no reason to feel sorry for Bush. He is a arrogant wealthy jerk. And here he sees that his policies are failing and he's been given a set of alternate policies by family confidant James Baker. But in his trademarke arrogant stubborness, he has discarded that advice and continue pushing his failed policies in a vain attempt to salvage his legacy.

With nothing but fake sympathy, Bush sends more troops to their deaths. When asked about whether the rest of the country should share in the sacrifice for the war, he immediately begins the standard refrain . . . "Raise taxes?" Bush and other Republicans are masters of denial and rationalization when it comes to taxes. They have convinced themselves that raising their own taxes is always bad for the country. Really? You mean having to buy a Lincoln instead of a BMW 7 series is bad for the country? Are we really helping the country by living with an unsustainable standard of living and pushing all the costs of the war onto our children and grandchildren? Of course not.

I'm struggling to find a silver-lining in this big black cloud. The only thing I can see is that Bush's horrendous policies continue to destroy the current corrupt and ideologically bankrupt GOP. It is very sad that this destruction of the GOP has to come at the expense of soldier's lives and excessive government debt. But that is the only good thing I can say about Bush right now.

Ever notice that any time Bush is interviewed, the interviewer ends up looking smarter than Bush? I always sit there and think "Why can't that interviewer be our president?"
