If the shoe fits

One month to go, so this hopefully will be one of the final George Bush rants you'll have to skip over. I tell you what, this shoe throwing incident is a funny old thing isn't it people. Not funny ha ha, but funny, what the fuck is going on funny. The way it's been reported, if you didn't know who George W. Bush was or what he's been up to these past eight years, you'd think he was the victim here.

Bush has very magnanimously stated that he has no hard feelings towards the journalist who launched his size 10's at Bush. It's jaw dropping gall from the man really. How thoughtless can one person be? How many times can a President miss the point in two terms of office?

Granted, it is funny watching someone throwing shoes at a politician, I'd love to see someone smack Gordon Brown in the face with a pair of Timberlands. No doubt John Prescott would have thrown his own shoes back, but in the context of this attack it's not funny, it's another example of how monumentally ignorant, insensitive and completely unaware Bush is to all the suffering he's caused. It's even less funny when you listen to what was being shouted when Muntathar al Zaidi was throwing his shoes at Bush's face.

“This is a farewell kiss, you dog. This is from the widows, the orphans and those who were killed in Iraq.” And after he was knocked to the ground he continued saying, “Killer of Iraqis, killer of children.” The news channels haven't really discussed at length the nature of these comments. It's a shame really that our journalists don't have the balls to talk to Bush and Gordon Brown like that.


They haven't really talked about how five years ago the Iraqi's were beating statues of Saddam Hussein with their shoes and are now attempting to beat the actual George Bush with them instead. He is of course responsible for thousands of deaths and has sent Iraq back to the stone age. His invasions have caused so much grieving and suffering, a huge percentage of Iraqi's actually feel nostalgia for the tyrant days of Saddam Hussein.

A few months after the 9/11 attacks George Bush told reporters that he and Laura had had a wonderful year! Really, maybe it wasn't quite so good for the rest of your nation. Since the latter part of 2001 he's been at war, I might just have lost the ability to enjoy myself in my old age, but should a President at War be using that kind of language? How can you have a wonderful year under those circumstances, let alone say it out loud?

That comment was nothing compared to this Christmas video he's released featuring his little fucking war mongering dog Barney. See how much of it you can watch. I'd rather spend a weekend at one of those murder mystery weekend's in Mumbai than watch 30 seconds of this video.



There's a tiny percentage of me that wanted to like George W. Bush because he does do some funny things and I really wish he had never been President because had he been a late night chat show host or a sports commentator he might have been entertaining. Bush's press secretary Dana Perino told Jon Stewart that he'd get on well with Bush as he's a funny guy.

Yeah, but he's a friggin war criminal. Hitler was probably great company if you didn't talk about his work. He's ruined the world, he's given his military license to torture suspected terrorists, he's invaded two countries. He's a fucking moron. As much as I want to blame Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Karl Rove for everything that has occurred this past eight years and as hard as I try to dismiss Bush as just their puppet, no one is so moronic that they can't appreciate that torturing people is wrong. Even Ashley Cole is capable of the level of reason required to accept that you can't go around invading countries for thier natural resources and expect to be thanked by the locals.

Ronald Reagan was evil, and those that shaped Bush into a Presidential candidate are also evil, but Bush something else, something far more dangerous. He's clinically psychopathic really. A bit strong you may think, but as the saying goes, if the shoe fits. I think a psychopath is someone who can kill without showing the least signs of remorse. Even Charles Manson didn't have the front to release a Christmas message to the nation featuring his dog.

One month to go.
