Do I Make You Proud?

How proud did it make you feel to see President George W. Bush at the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics?

After eight looonnnng years of this loser, the biggest positive thought I could come up with was that this is a year of lasts for him. We're winding down, and it's the last time he'll do a lot of things: the last time he'll pardon the Thanksgiving turkey, and whatever his other jobs are.

Seeing him come in I was looking at him, thinking, such a guy, what would it be like to know the thoughts between those two ears? As to what he thinks of his enemies, his scandals, his misadventures in government. He's glad-handing the people around.

He's been such a terrible president, it's a shame we have someone so extremely bad representing us on the world stage. He's been speaking up for human rights in China, you know. That's a joke in several ways, the most obvious way being that he doesn't care about human rights. This is the first president I know of who we can legitimately call "The Torture President." So, maybe this will be the last time he'll have to go through the motions on the subject of human rights.

I'd love to see him have to address the subject of human rights one more time, such as if they could arrange an international trial for him somewhere. We truly have a real specimen in George Bush, of exactly what we'd hate to say.
