When I first heard that Bush would not order an investigation into intelligence failures surrounding Iraqi WMD's, I sprang out of my floatation tank and shouted "Hari Krishna!" This would be a windfall for the democratic candidate, who could accuse Bush of jeoparding national security with his blatant obstructionism, and then kick back as their poll numbers go through the roof. "Lookie lookie! Our children are dying in Iraq, terrorists are at the gates, the whole world hates us, and Bush doesn't care! The American People deserve answers, Bush, and they deserve the TRUTH!"
Now I hear that Bush has done a complete reversal and is suddenly calling for a "non-partisan" investigation into the intelligence failures - with results due in 2005. That bastard! How dare he play politics with national security! If he cared at all about the American People, he'd confess to everything right now, apologize to Saddam, and graciously endorse Dennis Kucinich as the next president of the United States. Instead, he's engaged in sleazy, election-year manuevering to deny the democrats the political juice they so rightly deserve!
But all is not lost, folks. There's a rumor circulating around the blogosphere that Shrub may have joined the Texas Air National Guard to avoid the draft - and then went AWOL. I'll explore this further in another post, but I think this just may be that sharp, pointy symbol of impending doom hanging over Dumbya's head...just like that Greek dude's sword.
Good Grief! This is still hilarious after all these years!!
