The President’s Personal Demon
In the on-going saga of the Worst President in the History of the United States, two catastrophes of almost equal import in recent days showcased the fanatical, apocalyptic personal world view that informs George W. Bush.The current deepening crisis in the Middle East and Bush’s veto yesterday of a stem cell bill passed by Congress belie an integrated, if frighteningly insane, internal mental map. It’s one that as maintained by an otherwise dysfunctional street corner bum with a bullhorn and sandwich sign proclaiming the imminent end of the world is relatively harmless. But as it instructs the most powerful leader in the world, it’s truly scary. People had better start to look at this more seriously.

First of all, with regard to the Middle East, no one is more responsible for the escalating violence in Lebanon and Israel than Bush. (emphasis mine) Contrary to decades of U.S. diplomacy dating almost from the establishment of the State of Israel after World War II, this administration has practiced five years of stubborn, malicious neglect.

Now, as thousands of innocent civilians on both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border are being killed, maimed, uprooted and rendered homeless, the Bush administration continues to sit on its hands, refuses to step in and insist on a cease-fire, and while standing on the sidelines, cheers on one side against the other.

snip

Not so for President Bush’s secret friend. This particular demon tells our president exactly what he must do to bring about enough global chaos to present the almighty with his cue. As our president stares into this force’s dark eyes, all thoughts of human tragedy are dismissed. As he looks deeper, he seeks only a sign of that light he so desperately wants to descend.

1. I think the demon has a permanent sneer
a bionic heart and very bad aim.

We found out he's evil early in his tenure, and have known for sure that he's batshit nuts since sometime in 2002, but we don't count. We're wacko libberul nutcases ourselves, "over the line," "conspiracy theorists," and the like. When it starts seeping into the national consciousness, then there's some hope for an end to the insanity. Even another stolen election won't give them ultimate power over a really pissed-off public.
