bush's delusions of sanity

the u.s. president is a dangerously deluded fellow.

he actually believes that his re-election makes him infallible.

from the washington post:

President Bush said the public's decision to reelect him was a ratification of his approach toward Iraq and that there was no reason to hold any administration officials accountable for mistakes or misjudgments in prewar planning or managing the violent aftermath.

"We had an accountability moment, and that's called the 2004 elections," Bush said in an interview with The Washington Post. "The American people listened to different assessments made about what was taking place in Iraq, and they looked at the two candidates, and chose me."

notwithstanding the fact that the man can't put together a coherent sentence, this is a textbook example of a total breakdown of logical thought. apparently bush's "accountability moment" has passed, and he's free to resume his gibbering travelogue through dementia.

let's take a long look at our upcoming descent into random pandemonium: "...there is no reason to hold any administration officials accountable for mistakes or misjudgments in prewar planning or managing the violent aftermath."

well. there it is. not only did bush and his hellkites not make any mistakes, but there is no reason to hold them responsible...uh, for the mistakes they didn't make. personal responsibility is a wonderful philosophy, isn't it? just don't try to apply it to the bleeder of the free world.

just for fun, imagine how such utter disregard of accountability might go over the next four years. don't feel inhibited by the bounds of reason, because this president won't. he's got political capital, and he's going to spend it. it is his style.

go ahead, think about it.

okay, that's enough. it's not a good idea to ponder it too long. because you may start to think that "pompous" and "stupid" are not such a great combination. and we'll have plenty of both in the next four years.
