President George W. Bullsh*t - Daily Mirror Editorial

[HootieMcBoob]

Not pulling any punches here :)

Both Bush and his Democratic rival John Kerry were young men in the 1970s, when the Vietnam War was raging.

Unlike Bush, Kerry volunteered and fought and killed for his country in the dangerous waters of the Mekong Delta. He was awarded three Purple Hearts, a Silver Star and a Bronze Star.

BUSH, a rabid coward, slunk off for guard duty with the Texas Air National Guard in some patsy little job his daddy's rich pals provided.

Bush spent most of his "war" drunk, partying with other spoiled rich kids. No one ever saw him in uniform and the only way he risked his neck was pouring too much beer down it.

But like conservatives everywhere, Bush and the Republicans have only a passing acquaintance with the truth.

1. ouch!

Why doesn't the writer tell us how he really feels?

Scathing, but 100% accurate.

5. Yes, it's a very popular paper in England

It's one of those pseudo-tabloids that are so popular in England.

I doubt it has much readership in the US though.

3. B-b-but, b-b-but, "bushie is LOVED the world over!"

"an-an-an, his payroll records were accidentally destroyed while they were trying to SAVE them!"

4. Kind of a tangent here, but

In my local newspaper yesterday (The Oregonian), there was an AP story about Bush and his National Guard service. What struck me the most about the article were a few key phrases- things like "Bush didn't show up for his required physical". I was rather surprised to see phrases like that in print.

6. Food for thought.

In downtown San Francisco, for instance, close to the rich financial district, poor sick people who should be in hospital lie in the street, in scenes reminiscent of the slums of Calcutta.

A total of 42million Americans, 15 per cent of the population, have no health insurance.

THOUSANDS of children also go to bed hungry, while millions of others have been brainwashed into eating junk food that has turned the US into a nation of Mr Blobbys.
