Bush Lives in a Fantasy World

In the first interview of the publicity tour for his new book, Decision Points, Bush told Matt Lauer that he didn't want to use force.
"Not everybody thought you should go to war, though," Lauer said. "There were dissenting voices."
"I was a dissenting voice. I didn't want to use force," Bush said

But what could I do, he did not add, "I was only the commander in chief of the Armed Forces. If everyone else wanted to go to war, who was I to stop them?"

Seriously? Weren't you "the Decider?" If you didn't want to use force, you could have just not used force. It's really that simple!

I didn't want to use force," Bush said. "I mean force is the last option for a President. And I think it's clear in the book that I gave diplomacy every chance to work. 

I believe that the book which I had ghostwritten for me explains what a great guy I am. And I'm sure the ghostwriter would have no motivation to lie. So, you know, case closed!

"And I will also tell you the world's better off without Saddam in power.

And so are 25 million Iraqis." 

Well, you know, the ones who are still alive. And not maimed. Or widowed or orphaned. And aren't living in refugee camps. And aren't in constant fear of being blown up for being in the wrong Muslim sect. Basically, other than them the whole world is better off now that Sadam Hussein is not keeping Al Quaida out of Iraq and providing a counter-balance to the mullahs in Iran. 

Bush went on to say that he still feels like going to war was the right decision. And as he wrote in the book, "No one was more sickened or angry than I was when we didn't find weapons of mass destruction."

Oh, yeah. I remember how upset you were about that.



And of course no one in the "liberal Media" is going to call bullshit on any of his ridiculous claims. It's just simply not done. We need to move forward, not look backward, and put our petty differences aside, and blah, blah, blah, and meanwhile the war criminals of the previous administration face zero consequences for their crimes, not even public disapproval. Which pretty much ensures that there will be a next time. If this country had any balls, we'd send these guys to the Hague and let future administrations know that this will not be tolerated. But of course, that will never happen. You only get tried for war crimes when you lose a war.

Hey Brent Bozell, Shut Your Goddamn Fat Yap You Little Piece of Shit!

Bozell's going to trash talk Jimmy Carter? Where does he get off? Here's what Bozell had to say about the former president on Sean Hannity's Mish-Mash Media Bullshit Buffet, or whatever:

BOZELL: You know, first comment on President Carter. Doesn't he sound like that proverbial college freshman who spouts neo-Marxist pablum after one too many hits on the bong? I mean he... Mr. President, it's time, you know it's time to put up shutters in your houses and really shut up now because you are making a fool of yourself.

Oh, Hell No!

Do you know what Jimmy Carter does all day? He eradicates diseases. Seriously. The Carter Foundation is largely responsible for Guinea Worm being on the brink of  eradication. In 1986, when he first went after Guinea Worm, there were 3.5 MILLION cases of the disease in 20 countries. In 2009, there were 3,200 cases in 4 countries.
 Now he's working on eliminating River Blindness. And Trachoma and Malaria. When he's not building houses for Habitat.

And what is it you do again, Mr. Bozell? You used to run the Parents Television Council which meant that you got paid wingnut welfare to watch risque' TV shows then fan your self and gasp "I Never!" while telling people that "hey, don't let your kids watch Sex & The City, it has sex in it!"

Now you run the Media research Council which consists mainly of watching news programs and complaining that they aren't fawning over Sarah Palin. In a way, it's a sort of impressive resume', you've figured out a way to make a living watching TV. But let's stack up your accomplishments against Jimmy Carter's.

You: President of the "Tsk, Tsk that show is naughty!" foundation.
Him: President of the United States of America


You: Bachelor's degree, University of Dallas
Him: Graduate of the United States Naval Academy, Anapolis Maryland

You: Getting paid to watch TV and get indignant.
Him: Wiping out diseases.

Him: Nobel Peace Prize Recipient
You: Once gave a prize to Stan Evans. (yeah, I don't know who that is either)

Him: Negotiated a lasting peace between Israel and Egypt
You: Once got between Hannity and Colmes


Him: Created the Superfund, setting aside millions of dollars to clean up toxic waste.
You: Created phony research that caused your organization to be sued by the WWF and lose $3.5 Million





So shut your goddamn fat yap, Bozell. You are not fit to polish Jimmy Carter's shoes. You contribute nothing to society except adding to the amount of bullshit with your ridiculous claims that the multi-billion dollar corporations are spending millions of dollars to aquire media outlets in order to put out left-wing propoganda. And getting paid handsomely to do so. You're either incredibly stupid or completely dishonest, and I don't care enough about you to put in the time to try and figure out which. Because you are nothing. You are a revolting slug that Jimmy Carter should step on if he weren't so nice.

Oh, here's the clip, if you have the stomach for it:
