TPMCafe || Politics, Ideas & Lots Of Caffeine: " But he was peerless today -- arrogant, clueness, stupid. My heart soared like an eagle, which is probably politically incorrect, but it is also the truth. You could see exactly what Jim Hightower meant when he said that Bush was like someone born on 3rd base, who thinks he's hit a triple. It was mesmerizing to watch him lie and mispronounce words; I couldn't take my eyes off him: it was cobra-hypnosis.
Of course, the line that stole the show was about the lying detainees at Gitmo, 'people that had been trained in some instances to disassemble -- that means not tell the truth.' But there were many other equally astonishing lines. It did me a world of good: watching him, you couldn't help but think that Act II is nearly over. Of course, there will be some tiny flies in the Act III ointment, such as the coming lack of oil, and the fact that the whole world hates us. But I say, pick, pick,pick, because the right wing of the GOP is disassembling right before our very eyes. While I continue to believe that mass demonstrations (coupled with cyber activism) can help bring the end of this terrible administration, we also seriously need to keep the faith, and we can't do that if we lose our senses of humor. Laughter really IS carbonated holiness. So THANK you, Mr. Bush, for the last few days."
I hope she is right. It is clearly the worst administration since Harding. Maybe Grant.
