You're a Monster, Mr. President

READ MORE: Andrew Foster, George W. Bush, United States, Virginia Tech, Iraq
Each day it becomes clearer what a great national shame is the presidency of George W. Bush. Whether it's the illegal, incompetent, dishonest prosecution of the war in Iraq - where a member of the "freely elected government" we're so darned proud of just led a protest of thousands against U.S. presence and regularly incites, if not commits, violence against troops; where the most visible result of the "Surge" has been a suicide bombing inside parliament - or the silly defense of an Attorney General who promotes torture and lies (yes, it's documented: lies) to Congress, it is now undeniable that our country is being led by a soulless, self-adoring crook who cares nothing about average citizens, American history, or the rule of law.


But just when you think he can't go any lower, President Bush always finds a way to outdo himself. Today, in the wake of the incomprehensible slaughter of thirty-three students at Virginia Tech, the president sent out his spokeswoman to - first and foremost - defend the killer.

"The president believes that there is a right for people to bear arms," said Perino, in the first White House response, adding the utterly meaningless "but that all laws must be followed," thus nipping in the bud any crazy attempt to use this incident to have a discussion about gun rights in the United States.

Well, thank Heavens someone's looking out for the Second Amendment while everyone else is losing their heads.

1. It's unbelievable that was his first sentence

I had expected Bush to mention something about the 2nd amendment/right to keep & bear arms. But, to put that as his first sentence is just unthinkable and totally inappropriate. I can't put into words how grossly inappropriate that is.

[JHB]

2. Not unbelievable at all.

It's Politics First! for the Mayberry Machiavellians. I doubt Bushco can distinguish it from an opponent's photo op.

[Hubert Flottz]

3. Bush is in constant cover thine ass mode.

Karl sees to it! Playing politics with everything that happens.

[raccoon]

4. Kicking this to greatest. Yes, of course he says that about the

right to bear arms, not to piss off many of those who voted for him, thinking (And this aggravates the piss out of me) that the Democrats will "take away their guns."

[Lochloosa]

5. Words fail me.

No they don't.....

YOU UNCARING MOTHERFUCKING ASSHOLE. MY YOUR SOUL ROT IN HELL!

6. Well put, Lochloosa!

I couldn't have said it better myself.

[HuffleClaw]

7. and he's going to VT for photo ops today ???!!

shameful and disgusting. truly appalling. heads or tails we get a look at 'presidential tears'

[WinkyDink]

9. Carnage. He thrives on it. And here he'll be safe, too. It's a win-win!

You watch; Bush will be very hard-pressed not to smile or even crack wise. More likely, he'll attempt some machismo.

[WinkyDink]

8. I guess Bush needed a couple more hours to get his simulated "human response" down.

He was probably still at his Narcissistic "That guy was a piker" level.

PSYCHOPATH.

[The Count]

10. Wow! Bush believes in laws? Amazing!

[HuffleClaw]

11. a link to the original white hous statement ?? n/t

[Bake]

12. Perino's in waaaaaay over her head.

That was just about the clumsiest thing I've ever seen a press secretary do. I predict she'll be gone ... that is, IF the MSM picks up on this (what am I saying? Of course they won't!).

13. Bush is a gangster.

[progressoid]

14. Unbelievable.

[The Count]

15. Right there with My pet Goat and the guitar playing! never disappoints!

Name the crisis and I'll name the fuck-up!
