Absolute B.S. from Bush
Should we henceforth call him President George W. B.S.? At least one pro-Bush (or rather pro-B.S.) conservative, by the name of Austin Bay, has been re-inspired by B.S.’s speech yesterday at West Point: “I am listening to President Bush’s speech at West Point and thinking ‘Why didn’t he give this speech three years ago?’” You wonder what great, new thing B.S. might be saying, and then you look at the quotes from the speech at Michelle Malkin’s site, and it’s nothing but a supercharged rededication to an illusory global war on terror, in which B.S. boasts about fighting the terrorists “on every battlefront” (you mean, like allowing them to take power through democratic elections in the West Bank and pushing Israel to retreat from them in Gaza?), and not resting “until this threat to our country has been removed” (you mean, like allowing Muslims to continue immigrating into America, and allowing the Saudis to continue spreading jihadist hate literature against America in U.S. mosques?). But that’s what the little B.S.-lovers can never get enough of: patriotic sound and fury, signifying the exact opposite of what it seems to be saying. Am I being nasty? Very well then I’m being nasty.
