War on Terror can't be won---oh, I REALLY meant to say...

Look, George, you said the war on terror can't be won. Now you say you actually meant that it's difficult? You must be a real pain in the butt to your handlers, who have to put new words in your mouth every time you stick your foot in it.

What I'm getting depressed about is that this asshole might win. I once bitched that Americans are stupid sheep. I was told by one person who I do respect that I shouldn't bash the American people. Well, I leave it to them to prove me wrong. I left this country 17 years ago because I was disgusted by Americans and the United States, but with exception of the people who I seek out, I really haven't seen anything to convince me to the contrary.

I know some of you are thinking, "America, love it or leave it". However, my One True Spouse has chosen a career where he is best off here, for the time being. I would love, love, LOVE to leave the US, but I don't want to leave him behind, which I would have to. Unless things get really disgustingly fucked-up, enough to convince spouse, which if Bush is re-elected I'm sure they will be.

I propose a new tourist motto for this country in the second term of Bush: "The United States: At Least It's Not Uganda."

Just remember that the majority of the people in the US didn't vote for Chimp-boy, and are horribly embarassed about him

I honestly can say I don't know if Smirky was elected or not. If he was, it was indeed by a tiny margin, I've heard in the area of 500 votes. We'll never know. Ultimately he was legislated in.

Actually, you just gave me an idea for another post....

As an update, I just heard via the talkback on Eschaton, that Andrew Card, you know, the guy who whispered into Dubya's ear while he was reading "My Pet Goat", told Leslie "Wolf" Blitzer that "there'll be no V-T Day"*. So, now it's "we'll win War on Terra...no, we won't...I mean, yes, we will!...no, we can't". Continue ad infinitum.

*Actually, there's a lot of doubt whether he said V-T Day or V-D Day. There's been a lot of jokes about that, whether there be "no celebrating and catching VD" or there will be" no Victory over Democrat's Day"
