Good god, but I hope the public will finally see through the facade and recognize the small, miniscule, utterly unqualified and unprepared simpleton we've got nominally leading the executive branch.
Alas--or thank goodness--I missed the presser, but WIIIAI linked to the transcript, and offered helpful interpretation of lines including the whopper about Iraqis supposedly "tolerating" a certain level of "violence."
What...an...unthinking, unfeeling, uncaring, uncomprehending...asshole.
And, the administration that can't bark "9/11!" often enough was once again asleep at the wheel when a plane crashed into...a Manhattan building. Well, to use a term even they can understand, that's just par for the course, I guess. Think about it: losses in Iraq and Afghanistan (not to be too flippant, but that'd be like a championship basketball team getting beat by a group of high schoolers in a local park)...they lost New Orleans thanks to their ignoring steady, constant requests on the part of local and state officials to do something about the aging (and, it turns out, improperly designed and maintained) levee system, they lost the rest of the west central Gulf Coast thanks to their incompetence in responding to a natural disaster...and, for that matter, their preening about and crowing about 9/11 is in appallingly bad taste considering that they were, at the very least, caught flat-footed (take note of how 9/11, in their twisted worldview, has become virtually organic, or natural, as opposed to being an example of just how unprepared Team Bush was upon assuming leadership).
Again, to use a term they might be familiar with: they are the embodiment of "the soft bigotry of low expectations." Alas, all of us are worse for it.
