Well, Why Even Pretend Anymore

Bush Million Air

With that golden glint off the presidential seal, what a stunning shot taken three days ago in Louisiana.  Like Anne Richards said, he’s been the poster boy for the silver spoon.

I’m imagining a Wall Street fly-over.

    Nah, just wait until the Nov. 15 economic powwow. Who will be the shaman then?

    richie rich’s airline from the 50’s-60’s comic book. we’re going to have to start referring to bush as richie rich, the poor little rich boy, sans richie’s kindness and charitability.

    i forget who ran it, might have been the daily show or even one of the news channels, but remember the footage somebody had of bush on the tarmac, as he was boarding the plane, waved at a couple of onlookers behind the fence staring at him. while bush furiously waved at them, the onlookers, two white males, standing there looking stoic faced, refused to acknowledge him back.
    man, i would have been crushed. you know you’ve seriously effed up when people refuse to wave back at you.

    The ‘Million Aire’ logo under him just rubs in my face the greed he allowed to fester in his rule. Makes that old Haiti despot ‘Papa Doc” look tame in comparison.
