I Think They Had A Lightbulb Moment

Crossposted at BIO.

Bush threw together a little press conference yesterday, and in doing so, gave his base a tiny glimpse into what it's like to be a Lib/Dem.

Listen, it's not that we wanted Bush to fail from the outset. Well, okay, maybe SOME of us wanted him to fail, but when 9/11 happened, we tried to put our differences aside and rallied against a common foe (that would be Osama Bin Laden, for anyone who's forgotten).

But his true colors cracked through, and those of us who prefer freedom of choice, freedom of expression, and ideas that may help themselves, but help their fellow citizens as well started getting annoyed. We tried, people, we really did. But Bush is just a dick.

Lo and behold, he's gone so far as to piss off his supporters. All that time and money they put in to keeping him in power because he made certain promises. And BOY are they pissed.

From Confirm Them:
  • "Get lost Dubya. You cronyist lying loser."

  • "I have been a lifelong Republican. I quit. This is truly embarassing."

  • "There is absolutely no way to justify this pick. I am sick to my stomach."

  • "What have I been saying about Bush all this time? This ass passed over Corrigan, Garza, Jones, Luttig, and Pryor for THIS THING."

  • "The President just betrayed his supporters."

  • "This is an embarassment. I have defended this administration before, but never again."

  • "I’m so mad, I can’t think straight. I’m going to come out and say it,
    and God alone will have to judge me: GEORGE W. BUSH IS NO LONGER MY PRESIDENT."

Hell, even Rush Limbaugh dittoheads got pissed at HIM for trying to sooth the savage right-wingers.

If I were a staunch right-winger, I know I'd probably be pretty angry. I mean, Miers has been linked to a Texas gay rights group, and apparently was looking for endorsements from them. I wouldn't think right-wingers would like that very much, but who knows - maybe Bush is trying to get right-wingers to be more progressive!

Nah, Bush has his own agenda. He's in his second term and doesn't care what anyone thinks. He's tired of pretending he cares about other people. He's annoyed that he has to do photo ops and hug displaced black people. It's hard work holding up that thin veneer of "I'm just like you!"

It must be a real downer, coming to the realization that the man put in charge of this country is a jackass.

Welcome to the club! Hi, it's nice to meet you! My name is MoxieGrrrl and if you have any questions don't hestitate to ask! There's doughnuts and coffee over there. Don't tell anyone, but we keep the stash of Kahlua and Irish Whiskey under the table. Help yourself.

I was supportive yesterday; however, today I do not endorse her.
It was not because of the usual smokescreens like abortion, environment, blah blah blah.
She spent a year back in 1994 lobbying for a World Wide Criminal Court.
Nail in Coffin; She’s a Collectivist!

Thanks for the link to confirmthem.com. The sound of those piteous bleats inspired me to pop the zit of my festering resentment thusly:

You true believers never cease to fascinate me. Junior has presided over almost six years of turning your currency into toilet paper, mutilating your sons to fatten the pockets of his father’s friends, and grabbing for unlimited power to imprison and torture anyone who wants to complain about it - and what finally breaks your heart is his failure to install a SCOTUS justice with a proven record of keeping the queers in their place? At least the rest of us (you remember: the majority of voters in 2000 who thought that even a wooden plank named Al Gore was better qualified than the draft-dodging, coke-sniffing frat boy who managed to screw up every single opportunity handed to him on his father’s silver platter) didn’t have to twist our common sense into a pretzel to convince ourselves that this drawling sub-literate ventriloquist’s dummy was a good and capable man working on our behalf. We knew he was an amoral cowardly hypocrite from Day One. But you gave him your hearts! You believed in his promise! Part of me wants to feel sorry over your sense of betrayal. But now that it’s finally, finally dawning on you what a horrible joke his administration has been, all I feel is contempt for your foolishness, hatred over its enabling of the murder of innocent lives, and spiteful satsifaction that you’re going to have to spend the rest of your lives in the bankrupted, disgraced, and tyrannous nation that your man brought into being. Thanks for nothing, you stupid hateful morons.

Have a nice day.
