George W. Bush: King of the Flipocrites

by The Angry Liberal

Main Entry: flip·o·crite
Pronunciation: 'fli-p&-"krit
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English ypocrite, from Old French, from Late Latin flipocrita, from Greek flipokritEs actor, flipocrite, from flipokrinesthai
: a person, esp. a presidential candidate, who accuses his opponent of flip-flopping on issues, all the while knowing that his own record of flip-flopping is infinitely worse. See also: George W. Bush.

It's nauseatingly ironic that the Bush Administration is accusing John Kerry of flip-flopping on some issues. It seems that supporting $87 billion in military funding when it's paid for with a repeal of useless tax cuts, and later opposing the same funding when it's borrowed from our children, counts as a flip flop. Gee, who could support a candidate who refused to vote to borrow $87 billion from unborn children? No wonder Bush opposes abortion. The country's fetuses owe him too much money.

The truth is that anyone paying attention knows that Bush is the undisputed King of the Flip Flops. And Bush's flip flops come without the need of the consideration and soul-searching required by thoughtful people. All the Bush campaign has to do to create a flip flop is change the text of a speech on his teleprompter.

Folks, you just heard George W. Bush condemn every accomplishment on his resume. There has never been a more perfect example of an unqualified individual using his family connections to succeed. Pick a Bush "achievement": Admission to private school, Yale, Harvard, the Texas (and, some say, Alabama) Air National Guard all arranged by Bush, Sr. Oil businesses financed by Dad's Saudi friends. Part ownership of the Texas Rangers arranged by Daddy's baseball commissioner friend. And yes, the United States presidency arranged by Da-dah's Supreme Court appointees. Without constant and forceful intervention by Bush I throughout his life, Bush II would likely now be a short-order cook at Denny's, if he could pass the drug screening. With Dad's help, he's President of the United States. By stating that college admissions should be based on merit, Bush has flip-flopped on his very existence. By extending this premise to life in general, Bush has thrown into question his legitimacy as a college student, national guard member, businessman, and current position as the leader of the free world.
