It’s getting so I can’t even bear to listen to him.

Every time GW opens his mouth, I feel like I’m listening to high school sophomore blather on about the world he knows little of – but is sure he’s right about it.

This morning, our unelected ape decided to hold a press conference to throw down some spin control on all the recent terror bombings in Iraq. Like a bad record, he spun the same tired spiel of fear and misinformation.

Blame the Baathists. Blame the Syrians. Blame the “suiciders” – (a word he made up this morning to describe terror bombers).

Blame everything, except his administrations’ own flawed, self-serving foreign policy.

Here’s a section of today’s PR parade that was particularly amusing…

"(Saddam Hussein's deposed) Baathists try to create chaos and fear because they realize that a free Iraq will deny them the excessive privileges they had under Saddam Hussein," Bush said.

The amusing part of this explanation is the fact his father’s policy of post-Gult War sanctions helped create those excessive privileges that were unique to Saddam loyalists. While sanctions and bombings killed hundreds of thousands innocent civilians over the last ten years, those close to Saddam lived in luxury…..thanks to George H.W. Bush not going after Saddam – the first time.
