George W. Bush: The Deeply Irresponsible President
Editorial/Op-Ed

by William McGinnis

ALEXANDRIA, VA -- (OfficialWire) -- 11/12/05 -- President Bush really seems to like the words, "Deeply Irresponsible." He has used them before in speeches and statements to describe various things he didn't appreciate. You can see this for yourself by searching Google.com.

His friend Tony Blair uses them too, as you can see by clicking here.

It is not a good thing to be "Deeply Irresponsible," particularly if you are an elected official. If you are Deeply Irresponsible, then why should anybody ever do what you think they should do? And why should they permit you to continue in whatever office you now hold?

In yesterday's Veterans Day speech, George W. Bush said, "While it's perfectly legitimate to criticize my decision or the conduct of the war, it is deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how that war began," And when I read this, I thought, "He just now perfectly described his own conduct as President: Deeply Irresponsible."

If you look at some of the main things he has done, or tried to do, you will see what I mean:

1. Social Security—The reckless changes he tried but failed to enact were Deeply Irresponsible, because they would have needlessly endangered one of the most successful government programs ever devised, all for the sake of appeasing his anti-government friends.

2. FEMA and Katrina—A bad appointment to be head of FEMA, plus sloppy oversight, led to a needless disaster when Katrina came along. This was Deeply Irresponsible.

This is one of those classic Frank Luntz tactics.

Another line today from Frist was that the Democrats proposed a "cut and run" ammendment. Never mind the fact that the Republicans plagiarized the ammendment that was first proposed by the Democrats, cut pieces out, then put their names on it. Afterwords they acted like it was their idea to begin with.

4. It doesn't matter how they parse it, Iraq is a quagmire. None of

this word-smithing is going to fix it. This bush presidency thing is the biggest fuck up in the last 300 years.

5. My favorite was 'smoke em out"

What ever happened to that gem? I guess after 4 years of failing to "smoke em out," they realised they were just blowing smoke up Americans' asses.

6. John Thune is onboard too. He just used it on Hardball. n/t

7. Call Me Irresponsible...

call me unreliable
Throw in undependable too
Do my foolish alibis bore you
Well I’m not too clever - I just adore you

Well, that last part, not. The rest sounds just like Bush.
