Bush at the U.N. - A Rude View
The Rude One weighs in... Oh, the humanity!

While they were watching George W. Bush speak today at the United Nations, the leaders of the other nations there must have been prepared for anything. Would he throw his own shit at them? Would he scratch his balls through the entire speech? Would he drag out an Iranian child, hold a gun to her head, and threaten to blow her brains all over Kofi Annan if he didn't get himself some motherfuckin' sanctions? Certainly any of that would have been less insulting than the patronizing, sanctimonious, self-righteous, smug call-outs to many of the nations represented. In essence, what Bush did today was to say that the world is full of nations of niggers and the United States is the great white massa who knows best what those darkies need.

<snip>
This, of course, is not to mention his shout-outs to the peoples of Syria, the strange "Today, your rulers have allowed your country to become a crossroad for terrorism," which is fine and dandy except when we send prisoners to be tortured there; and the people of Darfur, "you have suffered unspeakable violence." Somewhere in the Sudan, a woman who is burying pieces of her husband while her children starve around her is just so goddamned grateful.

And why shouldn't she be grateful? Why shouldn't a man in a bombed to splinters and pebbles house in Beirut just be so fuckin' happy? Why shouldn't the women of Afghanistan be dandy-ass thrilled while not going to school and getting beaten and raped? And, shit, it takes a long time to wash away the purple finger of freedom. Yep, lookie, here, world, George Bush says that good times are a-comin' if you just believe in him. Toss aside your centuries of hatred, violence, oppression, and mistrust of the West, sweet niggers of the Mideast and Africa. The stumblefuck white guy with his crazy ass nation-building military has said paradise is around the corner.

Do you think the delgates at the U.N. just shook their heads when Bush unironically said, "Freedom, by its nature, cannot be imposed"? Or do you think many of their heads were filled with the story of Maher Arar, the Canadian man captured by U.S. authorities, denied any charging or trial, and renditioned to Syria for a year of torture before being set free, and now finally exonerated from any terrorist ties by a Canadian court? Do you think they stared at Bush and thought, "He may treat us like niggers, but we know who the scared little bitch is"?


(My apologies for the N word - I didn't put it there and don't know what to replace it with. If anyone is offended, please suggest a substitute before the edit function is disabled.)

1. Totally appropriate in this context.
Replacing it would undermine the whole point of the editorial.

2. "Freedom, by its nature, cannot be imposed"
Oh god, he didn't....At that point I would have stood and laughed hysterically at him till they dragged me from the hall.

Please tell me they didn't clap and that even a few of them walked out on his highness. Tell me there are some with a conscience left in this world.

4. The writer is right on......and as far as the N word....it is used
appropriately because that is what the * cabal thinks of us and the rest of the world who oppose him....and he is a scared bitch.....so scared he couldn't use the UN meeting to meet face to face with Iran....(on thinking about that he probably wouldn't have been effective in such a meeting)

6. Anyone who reads the "Rude One" knows what to expect.
I wish I could write some of his columns into a speech.

BTW, we ordered 5,000 new signs today.

US Embassy Attacked by Islamic Militants in Syria

Islamic armed group attempted to storm the U.S. Embassy on Tuesday using automatic rifles and explosives, just one day after the US marked the fifth anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks.

Three were killed in a shootout with Syrian guards. A fourth was wounded, one of over a dozen people injured during the assault. Syrian security forces killed three of the attackers.

The United States has expressed gratitude to Syria after its security forces intervened against militants trying to blow up the US embassy in Damascus.

Syria's Interior Minister Bassam Abdel Majid said it was clearly a terrorist attack targeting the American embassy. The identity of the group involved is still unclear.

9. How ironic is it that we would send someone to Syria to be tortured
and then label the Syrians as "terrorists?"
