BushHog

Bush Portrays Kerry as Too Indecisive to Lead is the headline in the New York Times. Here's a direct quote:

"It's the same old Washington mindset," Mr. Bush [said]. "They'll give you the orders, and you pay the bills."

This statement is from a man who has unilaterally gone to war in Iraq at a cost of $105 billion dollars and counting, who has run up a $500 billion dollar deficit this year alone, who has allowed Kellogg Brown and Root to overcharge taxpayers for food and fuel for US soldiers in the Middle East, who has forced States, counties, and municipalities to increase taxes to pay for federal mandates like No Child Left Behind, who has gutted environmental regulations, who has subsidized the drug companies to the tune of billions of dollars at taxpayer expense--and he accuses the "Washington mindset" of somehow being profligate.

To me, Bush sounds more like a thief who tries to sue a homeowner because he tripped and fell when climbing through the window.
