Reading The Pictures: In Fact, Barely A Cheerleader

Mr. Palestine? Oh, Please!

The cover is real. (It's not The Onion.) The stickies, however, are mine.

And while we contemplate nonsensical stories highlighting a hesitant president's non-function in a non-summit, let's not overlook the real choreographer here, and the "instrumental role" Mr. Palestine's "It Girl" played while Iraq burned.

What a shame that we have such a bunch of asses running our country and government into the ground. This bunch is pathetic and unfortunately laughable. IMPEACHMENT is the only answer short of being victimized for another year. I'm sure God is crying looking at what is being done, ostensibly in his name.

Bush Gets Involved:

The conflict between Israel & the Palestinians has been going on for 60 years. So I have a good idea! Let's all meet in Annapolis for ONE DAY to solve this thing.

Uh, by the way, I'll be leaving early...

I don't get it.
Is it supposed to be ironic?

And will the majority of Americans who thought the invasion of Iraq was about WMD be pissed when they hear that the global war on terrorism turns on Palestine, and always has?

Is there a price to pay for talking straight so late in the game?

So.... who will be handling things for our side? John Bolton? Condo Rice? They have a proven track record when dealing with the Arabs.

Maybe Bush will genuinely push for a real Palestinian state. So he can invade it.

After seven years of doing nothing in the world but making trouble this is way past a day late and a dollar short. Legacy mode indeed.

An Alfred E Newman moment for sure....
