Wow. I imagine I shouldn't have expected otherwise from perhaps the worst orator in history, but egad! More of the same gobshite that's been shoveled now for years. His address could have been much shorter:
"I have run this country, like I have run my oil businesses and my baseball team: Into the dirt. I really had no clue. I thought it would be cool. I wanted to be a decider. I messed up. My bad. Once I realized I was in over my head, it was too late, 'cause if I stepped down, Dick would've taken over.
So really, you should be thankin' me. Yeah.
Anyway, that's all I got to say about that."
It's hard for me to stay focused on the issues and try to remain interested in the state of the nation when, in my mind, I'm convinced our nations leader is mildly retarded at best. While I haven't given up all hope, it sometimes seems like guys like GWB are specifically planted in office to encourage apathy.
Beer, anyone?
"Listen, man. Sleep gives you cancer. Everyone knows that."
I'm pretty sure if I was a speech writer for Chimpy I wouldn't list it on my Resume.
"Human memory is selective and linear. Simply put, a human remembers the best of times in progressive order, beginning with the earliest childhood. The rosy memories are only challenged by nightmares. A Cardassian remembers everything on every level all the time. For us, past and present are not neatly separated. We live with everything in the moment - including the nightmares.
And so do you."
