Bush and Blair: Self-righteous insolence

Sickening session of back-patting reveals desperate attempt at self-justification


<...>

To try to justify themselves, they stand together with increasing frequency, patting each other on the back, exchanging pleasantries and preening themselves in public in a sickening display of mutual affection which, if they were girls, would no doubt see them going into the toilet together.

With phrases like, "We'll hold their feet to the fire to make sure that democracy prevails", George Bush displays his black-and-white, provincial and limited view of the world stage yet again. Hold their feet to the fire? Why not go the whole hog and throw them on it, or else drop cluster bombs in their residential areas? Or how about sending Lynndie England to Palestine to provide us with photos which look like they were taken in Belsen?

With phrases like,"If we want a viable Palestinian state, we want to make sure the political, the economic and the security infrastructure of that state is shaped and comes into being," the British Prime Minister, who knows very well shat he is doing, make it crystal clear that this marauding Anglo-Saxon is alive, very well, and thriving and that we can all expect more of the same.

5. We got some good info from .ru
back when "we" invaded Iraq too. And somebody made a similar comment. Another thing for the ruskies: years of totalitarian stupidity, not unlike our current fate, developed an excellent sense of humor... Humor is pretty much all that's left after a while.

2. Is this an intentional typo?
Because it's kinda funny either way. "...well shat he is doing."
