Forecast: More Horror

I've been pretty good about laying off Chimpie recently, but today's public appearance by the Incompetent-in-Chief had me boiling.

US President George W Bush has said the conflict in Iraq will require "difficult choices and additional sacrifices" in the coming year.

The "difficult choices" are kill or be killed and made by members of our armed forces alone, and the "additional sacrifices" will also be wholly borne by our military and their loved ones. Chimpie will neither make difficult choices--indeed, he has deferred those so that a few dozen more Americans can die first--nor will he suffer any sacrifices, nor will his family, friends, bootlicking followers, fellow incometents, criminals, enablers, and dupes.

Here's what the Decider revealed in todays conference, according to the BBC:

He gave no clues as to what he had been told by his military advisers, nor as to what a new strategy might look like.

The president seems to be all but ignoring last week's report from the Iraq Study Group.

A source close to the administration says Mr Bush was angered by what he saw as the report's negative and harshly critical tone. The report, said the source, "will not provide the architecture" for a new Iraq strategy.

Isn't that heartwarming? The Decider isn't deciding, but he is exhibiting the wonderful consistency of becoming petulant whenever anyone--including his father's handpicked interventionists--point out that he has not only erred, but created utter catastrophe on a scale unimaginable in 2001, and I'm referring to the Saturday Night Live skit at that time in which a map showed the Great Lakes on fire and Will Farrell's Bush admitted, "Even I know that's bad!"

Who the fuck cares if Bush is angry at the ISG's negative and harshly critical tone? Is he so insane that he expected a pat on the back and hearty "Hail fellow, well done, Sir!" for his performance? We are currently witness to Republicans on prime time television calling Bush delusional, and yet he is still accorded the courtesy of a platform upon which to exhibit his madness. How many more die because he doesn't like to be criticized? How much longer is he going to hold his breath and make no decision because Jim Baker and friends were mean to him? When is someone going to step up and move to remove this dangerous maniac from his position of power? Can the Congress not find the will to publicly exclaim that what has been happening in this country far exceeds lying about a blowjob from an intern, and therefore deserves, no, demands and requires impeachment and removal from office?

Bush is dangerous and delusional. Why is he still allowed to command the nation? Even now that the Chimperor has been shown indisputably not only to have no clothes, but no sense, no desire to make good on his mistakes, and no condition that does not reflect a definition of sociopathy, he is still given deference by members of the press, the legislature, and the pundits in a giant Kabuki theatre that ignores that every day death and dismemberment is visited upon people whose only crime is to live in the wrong place at the wrong time or volunteer to serve an office that has somehow been commandeered by an incompetent, incurious, incapable, and incurable idiot.

Merry fucking Xmas.
