Bush to US: Go Fuck Yourselves

Do not come here looking for a dissection of the president's "speech" on the hypergrift going down in Iraq, because I didn't watch it. Why would I? Like the guy was ever going to say anything worth a damn? Like he was ever going to offer some kind of plan that could benefit anyone other than his pals in the disaster capitalism game? Not that I couldn't dissect the hell out of it if I wanted to, but a seasoned journo knows a lost cause when he sees it. Parsing Bush's "speech" is for hacks with too much time on their hands. For those who want an interpretation to sink their teeth into, here it is: He doesn't give a fuck about you. Or you.

And who are you? Well, you tell me. Are you the type of American who sees Bush's approval rating sliding into the 20s and says, "Hey, I thought presidents were employees of the people and were charged with executing the will of the people?" Wrong! They're charged with executing things, all right, but just ex-biz partners who went rogue and started fucking with the markets. Think of that the next time you stare into Saddam's vacant eyes as he hangs dead and broken. Better yet, grab a pal from the list of accomplices the U.S. has going now and start your own office pool for the next to get the "clear, hold and build" treatment. I'm calling Maliki and Musharraf, soon enough.

I mean, did any of you notice that Saddam's war-crime charges for killing 180,000 Kurds were dropped the minute after he hung for killing about 150? Not a coincidence. Did any of you notice that Bush's woefully overreported Iraq Study Group was stacked with Bush family pals, a clear signal of the president's intention to stay the course in Iraq? Did any of you notice that, a mere day after he said he'd increase troops in Iraq by 20,000, that he already has plans in place to actually add, as the NY Times reports, "65,000 soldiers to the Army and 27,000 to the Marine Corps, to bring the services to 547,000 and 202,000, respectively, over five years"? Are you there God? It's me Scott, stunned as fuck.

Again, I would like to apologize for the cursing, but not really. What does it take to wake everyone up around here? Who has to suck W.'s cock to get him impeached in this country? (Jonah Goldberg, pick up the white phone.) Is that why Condi has such a huge gap in her teeth? Does Osama bin Laden have to sneak into the White House and kill Barney for the mainstream media and its robotic audiences to start remembering who he is and what he did?

Let me make this clear, especially to all of you potential Ensign Cannon Fodders out there about to enlist, or about to be drafted: The blood and sacrifice of our troops, who Bush claims to support -- along with the rest of the flag-waving liars that follow him, and his own market machinations -- will be for nothing. Those you are claiming to save will hate you even more, especially since around 50,000 Iraqi innocents have already kicked the bucket in this economic takeover disguised as a military campaign. You are being sent to die by a president who won't even attend your funeral, and will never remember your name. You are being used. All of you.

So the next time the president is about to give a speech, turn it off. It doesn't have anything to do with you anyway, and if you ask Joe Biden, neither does the Democratic takeover of Congress. While your elected representatives sit and write long-winded backslappers about all they will do in 100 hours, and the days after those hours come to nothing, you're going off to the heated armpit of hell to die for nothing. Enjoy the ride, and make sure to leave a clearly defined will. The crumbs will be small and coveted here back home, as the environment warms and the recession gears up.

Of course, you could not go. You could say no, and join the growing chorus of those charged to die and kill who refuse to do so. And while we're at it, those who like to crow about how they support the troops could stuff some more productive research into their eyes before they once again open their poorly informed mouths. They could stop giving a fuck about Paris Hilton, Tom Cruise, Donald Trump and that fat hag Rosie. (As a husband to a Chinese-American woman, Rosie, read my lips: "Go ching chong munch some ching chong carpet ching chong laced with ching chong ching cyanide and ching chong die.")

Of course, we could all drop the bullshit and admit that this president is off the charts, and needs to be reined in. His money for the war should be dried up, and he should be impeached without further notice. I told Nancy Pelosi's press secretary this months ago when Feingold tried to censure Bush, and she told me -- off the record, of course, because you can never talk to a politico about anything relevant on the record -- that they didn't support the idea because they wanted to win elections. The problem is, they think they did. Well, you didn't, Democrats. Bush fumbled it, fumbled it so hard he should start trying out for the pathetic Texas teams he loves to watch when he should be working on saving those he has fucked royally under the mentorship of Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld.

So, memo to Pelosi, Reid, Biden and the rest of you Democrats who are on seriously borrowed time: It's time to get serious about fighting Bush, and fighting to win. Because that's the only thing those assholes really respect. Actually, that's pretty much the only universal thing Americans in general respect. To the victors, go the spoils. Now shut up, stop writing empty blog posts, and go and DO something. To the president, to the war, to the utter corruption you are swimming in. Do anything to anyone, rather than keep screwing the poor bastards who voted you into power hoping you'd fight for them when you've done the opposite since 2000. If you remember correctly, that was when Al Gore decided to go down in history as a really nice guy who cared about an incoming environmental catastrophe so much that he had to hand over a presidency he won to a career grifter with no moral compass whatsoever. Without a fight.

Mark my words, everyone. Bush will never cave and he will never change, because he's making himself and his friends record-breaking stacks of cash. And there's only one way to beat that. Force him to change. Hard, mean and fast. Or else you too will go down in history as the "do-nothings" you came to replace. There is no other way. No matter what anyone is selling you. There is simply no other way.
