King George IV
Posted by Betty Cracker 1/5/09Addled, cry-baby old fart George H. W. Bush appeared on the family’s news network this weekend for a confab with Chris Wallace, during which he wished another scourge on a nation that has already suffered enough: a presidential term for his son “Jeb.” Even a deluded, Depends-dependent fool like GHWB realizes that the timing may be problematic:
I mean, right now is probably a bad time, because we've had enough Bushes in there.
Bush the Elder totally misses the point: It’s not the number of Bushes so much as the epic level of incompetence the most recent just demonstrated, which by rights should doom anyone sharing that last name to a lifetime of political irrelevance. But I guess you can’t expect a father to recognize his son’s world-historical cretinism -- even if practically everyone else on the planet does.
As to Jeb’s personal merits, speaking as a Floridian who suffered though 8 years of Governor Jeb Bush and is currently surveying the ruination the piece of shit left in his wake, let me just say, “Fuck you, Poppy.” Chris Wallace is more polite, however, and wraps up the interview by inquiring after Bush the Elder’s thrill-seeking adventures:
...And I wonder how many hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars are squandered helping Bush the Elder and other members of the Dead Pecker Club get their jollies by jumping out of planes and such? Probably enough to pay for advanced prosthetics for a few of the soldiers maimed in Sonny Boy’s unnecessary war. Clueless bastards. May they howl in the political wilderness for 500 generations.
