Bush has now come up against the mighty American capacity to get bored with everything.He has become yesterday’s fad, like the Nehru jacket or the hula hoop.
In our society everything is prized for its entertainment value.This is why even the bumblings, mixed metaphors and sheer nonsense emanating from Bush drew chuckles instead of derison and sneers from Americans. Now he and his war have become boring through endless repetitions.Not even the deaths of many soldiers and Iraqi civilians have the capacity to provoke America’s wrath as lack of entertainment value.
When that moment arrives, it is time to pack your bags.
This why I predict that the rightwing windbags’ days are numbered.All their gags ( Ann Coulter, Limbaugh, Hannity, Hume etc.) caused laughter, the more extreme the sayings the better. The laughter has stopped now,even for the most extreme righwing rants.The culture has arrived at a turning point.
The SCLM can barely muster the enthusiam to even mention them now. On with the show – let’s talk about Laura’s Christmas tree!
Where do you think george and his minions see themselves in the future? It’s going to be so rough for them, and perhaps even more amusing for us. I just hope I’m still around when george follows in Pinochet’s footsteps.
Does Andrew Dice Clay or Morton Downey ring a bell? That is going to be the fate of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld.
I’m hoping that by 2008 the public will be so sick of the yee-haw schtick that they’ll try something novel and vote for the smart guy for a change.
My fear is that this change in public mood will happen just as the DLC decides in their wisdom that the Democrats need to run a “down-home man of the people.”
Nixon and Bush. Two republican presidents. Two men working from the same blueprint. Two wars. Two administrations built on lies. Two cover-ups. Two White Houses profiting from war. Two much for one country two ignore.
Your examples tell me that it is not possible for any Republican to win any elections in this country except by concealing his true agenda.
Following in the footsteps of a man who was forced to resign, is pretty selfdefeating, I would think.
