George Bush Hosts a Tea Party!



A TvNewsLies Commentary

What is the use of repeating all that stuff, if you don't explain it as you go on? - Mock Turtle: Alice in Wonderland

And what a party it was! It actually made page ten of the NY Times, and that’s pretty impressive nowadays for anything involving George Bush’s war. Did you happen to see the guest list? Wow! Really wow!

The folks on the guest list were the most powerful and possibly the best and the brightest ever to work alongside American presidents going back nearly half a century. These dignified men and women were 13 former secretaries of state and defense, all of whom undeniably had a vast range of experience and knowledge about war and peace. They came to share what they knew. But they came to Wonderland.

Oh, what a lovely photo op it turned out to be: The Hatter, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Condoleezza Rice surrounded by history. The names were so terribly impressive: Powell, Cohen, Albright, McNamara, Schlesinger, Schultz, Haig, Carlucci, Perry, Brown, Eagleburger and Baker. They had served presidents from JFK to their present host. These were the real heavyweights of government. They came to pass on their wisdom and their expertise in a time of terrible chaos.

They came for tea, but they got baloney.

1. Remember 2000, when Bush would trot out all the old wise men

and put them on stage, and imply that we don't have to worry because these dudes will keep junior in check? He's back at it. He's shouldn't be president, so he gets his picture taken with people more qualified than he and pretends he is taking their advice.

2. At least it didn't work the way he wanted...

No big boost to his approval numbers for his wise consultation with the real experts. His ego was just too big to take any rational advice and his limited patience/attention span prevented even the appearance that he was listening.

3. When I heard the meeting lasted 10 MINUTES, I was livid

As Franken said this a.m., what a dog and pony show that was! We don't have a REAL government anymore -- we have faux photo-ops while the shadow government rules in secret. Just when you think they can't be any more dark and manipulative and thumbing their nose at the public ... you get this b.s.

4. but the photo was not shown

If it made page 10 of the NY Times, what's left? The TV channels ignored the meeting and there was no rational reason for the meeting at all....other than to sell the 'progress' in Iraq to these impressive people.

I have to believe it was a Karl Rove idea that backfired. Once Madeline Albright asked a challenging question... it was all over.

5. that is just plain sad

what an arrogant little dictator, my skin crawls when I think of him. I have a visceral reaction to all of those closed-minded, Rethug, Neanderthals.
