Bush Inhales Vigorously
This morning I'm reading the paper and notice this howler from
"The public, for example, should be informed that the accusation that the U.S. went into Iraq for oil ("no blood for oil", as the slogan goes) is not merely inaccurate, but crazy. For starters, gas prices skyrocketed once we induced risky change in the Middle East. How does that benefit the American people?"
As the kids say today, WTF? Who said Bush has any interest in benefitting the American people? Can you say "Oil Company Profits"? As long as his friends at Halliburton and Exxon come out OK, who gives a flip about the American people?
Personally, I would bet that George W. does not have a single personal friend who belongs to this class known as the "American people". He sees them when he campaigns and he shakes hands with them at various photo ops, but do you think he has a friend who take his kids to sit in the bleachers at a Monday night Sox game because the tickets are cheaper? Do you think he has a friend who shops at Aldi's? Something tells me probably not.
I remember when his old man was at some convention and caused a little bit of controversy because he had never seen a grocery store price scanner before. I think Shrub has the same problem of being totally out of touch with the "American people".
In other news, the next six games are huge for the Sox. I have nightmares of them dropping all six. While highly unlikely, it would be the ruination of the season. I'll be happy with 4-2.
Go Sox.
