Why Bush makes me so angry

I dont mind being lied by a politician - it is after all their modus operandi in order to steal, cheat and perpetuate instability in the world, but if they lie in an intelligent manner and get away with it, I can even admire them for it.
But this fetal leftover in the WH is so stupid, dumb and obviously out of his depths (coloring books and chopping wood seems to be the ultimate mental work out of this inbred genetically damaged evolutionary warp) annoys me becuase his attempts at Machievism (spelling?) are so childish and transparent yet they worked????

1. W's lies, half truths work for some.
For the Bushco Cult and for the mentally challenged. Oh, wait those may be intermingled.

2. right, it's almost not HIM, it's the fact that HE's what they offered up
as front man.

i mean, couldn't they find SOMEONE who's at least a little entertaining, or charming, or mildly intelligent?

it's like it's a slap in the face. see, we've got SO much power and control over the media and the government that we can put put up a complete moron and get away with it.

it's all so obvious. he gives a horrible speech and they write that he's really connecting with his audience, he does a photo op and they write that the sun shines from his butt. when his approval was ordinary, they write that he's such a popular president, when his approval is horrible, they write that his opponent can't get traction.

with reagan, at least we could understand the appeal. reagan was a good front man. you could see the charm, and he told a good story. i tend not to like the "front man" style of presidency, but i can recognize it as a valid style and i can recognize reagan as being a good front man.

but shrub is a terrible front man. he's constantly tugging at the curtain that he's supposed to be distracting his audience from. he's like an actor who's so bad, he reads the stage directions.


i guess i'm not so mad at shrub himself, it's the powers that be that pushed him on us and the once who accept him and assist him. didn't anyone say, c'mon, guys, we gotta get a better front man?

well, i guess not....
