The secret appeal of George W. Bush

by The Alchemist, Unknown News

Jan. 24, 2006

The secret appeal of George W. Bush is of course his very cupidity.

I mean, come on, if I had been born filthy rich, would I have dodged the Vietnam War and partied like a rock star? Lemme think… uh, hell yeah.

Would I have used my family's money and connections to loaf through a series of phone-it-in executive make-work jobs while snorting fat flakes of Peruvian off the pert nipples of sorority queens? … Wait for it… uh, YEAH!

We envy the guy. So what if the Bush family got its bankroll back in ol' Nazi Germany? That's old stuff, right? Trading with the enemy? Nah! Barbecue anyone?

And then there's his much vaunted stupidity. Well, who among us hasn't done a stupid thing or three? I know I have. Of course, I never committed troops to war or anything. But again, deep down, we would all like to heave a Gomer Pyle hyuk and toss our hands in the air now and again when we burn the beans. Oops, I guess the recipe was wrong! Hyuk.

That's why George Sr. got booted from office. He was too dignified to do the dummy thing. We knew George was smart. CIA smart. Too smart. Can't trust a guy who's too smart. Now W, well W likes to cut brush, not design international intelligence
policy. Or read. The. Simplified. Fucking. Daily. Intelligence. Briefs.

And of course, guts. No wimp here. Unencumbered by the deep analytical thought processes of his père, Querulous George tightens his collective sphincter

Trading with the enemy?

Nah!

Barbecue anyone?


The Bush presidential puppet costs $39.95, from Presidential Puppets.

(thanks Condi) and grunts into the camera. Stay the course. Don't give succor to the dread Moor. uh Arab. uh, Mos- er, enemy ... Don't quit. And what is more elemental in our collective Horatio Algerian mythos than good ol' Protestant stick-to-itiveness?

Say it with me. Cupidity. Stupidity. Guts. Sounds like the quintessential American male to me.

Meanwhile the puppetmasters keep the show lively. Don't watch that international currency fiasco, keep your eye on the latest indictee. Iranian Nukes! Paris Hilton! American Idol!

That's right folks don't touch that dial.
