If You Think Our Media Hate Bush....
Get a gander at what
one columnist in Australia thinks:
George Bush's second inaugural extravaganza was every bit as repugnant as I had expected, a vulgar orgy of triumphalism probably unmatched since Napoleon crowned himself emperor of the French in Notre Dame in 1804.
The little Corsican corporal had a few decent victories to his escutcheon. Lodi, Marengo, that sort of thing. Not so this strutting Texan mountebank, with his chimpanzee smirk and his born-again banalities delivered in that constipated syntax that sounds the way cold cheeseburgers look, and his grinning plastic wife, and his scheming junta of neo-con spivs, shamans, flatterers and armchair warmongers, and his sinuous evasions and his brazen lies, and his sleight of hand theft from the American poor, and his rape of the environment, and his lethal conviction that the world must submit to his Pax Americana or be bombed into charcoal.
That's just about the most over-the-top thing I've read this year. It has everything that marks it as moonbattery of the first degree:
1. Refers to Bush as a chimp.
2. Mentions the smirk.
3. Mentions neo-cons.
4. Bush steals from the poor.
5. Bush rapes the environment.
6. Everybody who doesn't agree will be bombed.
