Bush 2.0: Worse than Four More Years of the Same

by: Dean Barker

Fri Sep 12, 2008 at 05:37:02 AM EDT
WaPo, A01:
Gov. Sarah Palin linked the war in Iraq with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, telling an Iraq-bound brigade of soldiers that included her son that they would "defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans."

...Palin's return to Alaska coincided with her first extensive interview since she became the Republican vice presidential nominee. In the interview, with ABC News correspondent Charlie Gibson, Palin struggled when asked to define the "Bush doctrine" on foreign policy, leading to repeated follow-up questions from Gibson about whether she believed in the right to "anticipatory self-defense" and crossing other nations' borders to take action against threats.

John McCain has obviously become a shameless, dishonorable puppet of the Bush/Cheney machine.  That much is clear, and has been for some time now.

But here's today's not so deep thought, which hit me like a ton of bricks. Sarah Palin is Bush 2.0 - an example of a mindset created by the extensive damage of the Bush years.  She may not believe in evolution, but she represents the next mutation of the species elephans Bushensis. That's why she doesn't have a clue about the Bush doctrine - in her world, it's natural for America to start aggressive wars.  And that's why she's incapable of separating Osama bin Laden and a country that had nothing to do with him or his attacks - because eight years of lies have altered her genetic code.

Living through Bush/Cheney is nightmare enough. God help us all if America becomes led by people infected with Bush 2.0 DNA.

Senator Kit Bond, on the floor of the Senate yesterday made those same (0.00 / 0)
assertion about how Iraq was the central arena of the war on terror, according to al Qaeda itself.  Of course, he's been saying the same thing for several years now.

Senator Sessions followed up with an enumeration of all the attacks that had been avoided by redirecting the FBI to take action BEFORE, rather than after some crime is committed, including the shoe bomber.

C-SPAN now has archived programs in FLASH.

Of course al Qaeda SAYS Iraq is the central front in the war on terror. (0.00 / 0)
Get a globe; it's far more convenient for them than coming all the way here.  But it wasn't a front at all until we made it one.

"Boys, if you ever pray ... " (4.00 / 1)
Dan Kennedy, in a must-read post on his blog Media Nation, "The definition of hubris."

http://medianation.blogspot.co...

Long ago, a young farmer and a haberdasher from Missouri, he followed an unlikely path - he followed an unlikely path to the vice presidency. And a writer observed, "We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty and sincerity and dignity," and I know just the kind of people that writer had in mind when he praised Harry Truman.

- Sarah Palin in her convention speech, Sept. 3, 2008, comparing her qualifications for the vice presidency to those of Harry Truman.

Boys, if you ever pray, pray for me now. I don't know whether you fellows ever had a load of hay fall on you, but when they told me yesterday what had happened, I felt like the moon and stars and all the planets had fallen on me.

- Harry Truman, speaking to reporters on April 13, 1945, upon learning that Franklin Roosevelt had died and he had ascended to the presidency. Truman was serving in his second term as a U.S. senator when FDR chose him to be his third-term running mate, and had won plaudits for his work as chairman of a committee that investigated military waste during World War II.

Governor, you're no Harry Truman.

On a related note, (0.00 / 0)
John McCain is no Teddy Roosevelt.  Anybody who knows anything about what Teddy Roosevelt stood for knows that.  And it is an insult to his memory for the Republican Presidential nominee to claim his mantle, in this, the hundreth year since the last year in which there was a Republican President that Roosevelt supported--and that President was Roosevelt himself.  He even ran against his successor, the sitting Republican President, both in the Primary and in the General Election of 1912.
