I understand that after four years of bashing gays, destroying the environment, trashing the Constitution, rescinding civil rights, ignoring the poor, ignoring minorities, ignoring women, raping science, deifying extremists, invading foreign lands, killing innocent civilians, and letting Osama get away, our illustrious president now thinks it's a time for healing and unity.
How do I say this nicely? Fuck him.
I'm all for unity. I'm all for healing. But I'm not an idiot. George Bush isn't our new president, he's our old president. We've had him for four years and we know how he works. He surrounds himself with ideologues and is too stupid, or uncaring, to do anything other than their bidding. He will attack and trash and pillage again and again like he has for four years. As Ronald Reagan would say: Trust, but verify. I'm all for George Bush being a uniter, and if he really proves he is, I'll join him. But until that time, I'm going to trust the George Bush I know. I know George Bush, George Bush has been my president for four years, and Mr. President... you're an asshole.
As George Bush himself once said:
"There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again."
