Go Home, GW. (a Moby blog post for 9-11)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

Another DUer suggested to me that this deserved its own thread, so here it is. Whether or not you care for his music, he is pretty dead on in his political beliefs, which he blogs about probably more often than he does his music. If you're not familar with his stuff, then check it out. I think he even has free downloads on his myspace page.

go home, gw.
Sep 10, 2006 - nyc

dear president bush,
stay out of new york.
you don't like us and we don't like you.
90% of us voted for john kerry in the last election. we don't trust you, and we believe, based on your record, that you've been a terrible president.
you're supposed to come to new york city today.
you're not welcome here.
you only come to new york city when you need to bolster your poll numbers.
you came here after 9-11 even though you ignored warnings of terrorist attacks and cut funding to anti-terrorist programs.
you came here for the rnc convention even though your policies have made america less safe.
you are not welcome in nyc.
go back to texas where you can cut wood for the tv cameras.
or go back to washington d.c where you can watch dick cheney run the country.
you are a liar.
you are inept.
you are probably the worst president that the united states has ever had to endure.
you are not welcome in nyc.
we are not your cheap whore, to use whenever your poll numbers are in the toilet.
we are not your crappy prop, to use when you're worried that you might have to deal with the consequences of your failed policies.
you suck, and we don't want you here.
everything you've done has gone wrong. you are in the pocket of the oil and defense industries, and the poor idiots on the religious right actually sometimes believe that you care about them and their agenda.
you only believe in issues that will keep your corporate backers happy.
you are an awful, inept, corrupt, and tragically incompetent president.
and i'm sorry that you've chosen to come to new york city on 9-11.
we didn't vote for you and we're not in any way happy that you're here.
go home, gw, and let us just get on with living our lives in the city that was attacked
due to your pre 9-11 ineptitude and incomptetence.

1. I'm following you. ;-)

Glad to see you gave it its own thread.

And I'm gonna be the first :kick:

5. Ah! I'm being stalked.

:hide:

2. Moby don't mess around

And yes, I do like his music.

[Nutmegger]

3. He's also supporting Lamont

and wants to do a concert for him to raise funds. :) :bounce:

Liber-Loser gets BLOOMBERG!

4. Having seen Moby live a few times...

I'd say one of his concerts would be an excellent fundraiser. If he does the concert, I'll try to go to it, even though I'm in NJ.

Way cooler than Bloomberg.

[Nutmegger]

6. I'll go too

and I rarely go to concerts. Yeah LIEber-Loser can have BLOOMBERG! :rofl:

Maybe there should be a DU group meetup thing if this concert happens?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

7. That'd be cool.

:thumbsup:

8. What a beautiful, horribly honest piece.

Kudos to moby. I especially liked this part:

everything you've done has gone wrong. you are in the pocket of the oil and defense industries, and the poor idiots on the religious right actually sometimes believe that you care about them and their agenda.

Nice to see that someone recognizes this. W doesn't care about anyone, not his wife, not his kids, not his family - let alone the American people. Case in point: Katrina. He is truly worse than evil. I've always wondered if he has some sort of personality disorder. His total ambivalence and lack of human feeling just isn't normal.

9. Yeah, I read his blog regularly. He has good political commentary almost

daily.

This is one of his posts from yesterday...

quagmire, and not the sex addict from family guy.

some fun and good-natured right wingers have criticized me for criticizing the war effort in iraq.
i've routinely said that anyone familiar with iraqii history would/should've known that an invasion of iraq was bound to be a disaster.
george bush senior wisely knew this, that's why he refrained from overthrowing iraq in the early 90's.
who else might have known this in the early 90's?
who might've said:

“for us to get American military personnel involved in a civil war inside Iraq would literally be a quagmire”

john kerry?
hillary clinton?
ned lamont?

why...who could've said such a thing?
oh, that's right, it was dick cheney, in 1991.
looks like some people in the administration weren't always blithering idiots.
maybe at some point during the 1991-2001 period dick cheney was practicing auto-erotic asphyxiation and cut of the supply of oxygen to his tiny brain?
what happened to squeeze the intelligence and common sense out of 1991 dick cheney and replace it with ignorance and hubris in 2001 dick cheney?
really, what happened?
oh well.
fun times at the white house.

13. Huge kick

As a NYer, living three blocks from the WTC, this is exactly what I've felt all day.

Get out, you're NOT WELCOME, and NOBODY likes you here.
