OT, but a nice summary for Mark and other Bush apologists
Mark Hickey writes:
The Woodward book (the whole book, not select quotes out of context) tells the story of a plan that came together over months, and a growing acceptance of the fact that the UN was going to refuse to back up any action to remove Saddam from power / enforce all the UN resolutions. I've not had the opportunity to read the whole book, but the reactions to it are interesting. The pro-Bush contingent seems to think that it shows Bush as a dynamic, decisive leader. The anti-Bush crowd seems to think it shows him as an out of touch, right wing whacko disregarding reality at the behest of his god. I guess that means Woodward's book is "fair and balanced." |

"Ted Bennett" wrote in message ... http://www.bushflash.com/thanks.html -- Ted Bennett Portland OR Nice web site too - a few quotes from the front page. "There are three constituencies that are at the core of Bush's hopes for election: The Ultra-Rich, the Stupid, and the Religious Right. Unfortunately, there aren't enough millionaires to ensure his victory in the upcoming election, but, fortunately, there are plenty of stupid couch-potatoes that will march steadilly forth from their television sets to cast their vote for ol' George. Unfortunately, one can count on half of the stupid to be distracted by something shiny en route to the voting booth, and thus will never make it far enough to actually cast their ballots. This leaves Bush with one core constituency to count on- the five million or so religious protestant Bible thumpers than have been testing the limits of generational inbreeding in the red states. These folks have a blind adulation for Bush Jr that just boggles the mind." Good stuff. You wonder why its difficult to take these people seriously. You use slide shows put to music by anti Bush fanatics as your intellectual ammunition. Myself, I prefer respectable news and opinion sources from across spectrum, but at least you have so much fun.

You use slide shows put to music by anti Bush fanatics as your intellectual ammunition. Anybody who thinks that this is serious news reporting, or is in any way, shape or form "intellectual ammunition" is probably one of the terminally stupid. Some of the facts and figures presented might have weight, but that's something different. I don't suppose anyone's got a refutation for those? Mere ad hominem commentary against the producers doesn't have much rebuttal weight. -- Jonesy |
