THE AGE OF BUSH

by Malik Isasis














A federal judge has dismissed the civil lawsuit filed against top Bush administration officials by former CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson and her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson. The judge, John Bates of the US District Court in Washington, DC is a Bush appointee who previously dismissed a lawsuit filed by the federal government against Vice President Dick Cheney. That suit sought access to Cheney's energy task force documents.

Bush has pulled yet another Houdini, an optical illusion out of his ass. His packing the federal benches with political operatives has paid off in spades in the Supreme Court and in federal district courts, reinforcing his disdain for the law.

Don’t believe your eyes, believe what I say, is the Bush motto. And since September 12, 2001 this is exactly the protocol the Republicans, Democrats and the corporate media followed. The aforementioned enablers of Bush’s childish ways has comforted his overwhelming sense of entitlement and privilege.

To understand Bush though, is to understand his privilege; born with a silver spoon in his mouth he has slipped on every banana peel on his way to the Presidency. He has failed at every job he’s had, with the only exception being his stint as a political operative for his father.

Bush has never had to take responsibility for the chaos he has left in his polluted wake. In order to have compassion, one must have empathy. This blind spot in Bush’s scripted life allows him to have contempt for those who disagree with him.

Bush doesn’t understand losing; privilege has protected him from this painful, albeit necessary life experience. He’s like a child throwing a temper tantrum in a grocery store because his parents never say no. His father President George Herbert Walker Bush has done his son and ultimately our country a disservice by not allowing his child to fail.

Bush Senior’s gift: Dick Cheney, the gift that keeps on giving.

Membership has it’s Privileges

Bush has extended his privilege of not ever having to take responsibility for his action to those in his cabinet, and they have obliged by not taking responsibility for the heap of shit that they’ve dragged us into.

Bush’s corporate whores in the media gives him cover in the form of validating his manufactured terror warnings and terrorist capturing every time he needs to cover his ass and change the subject. But there is no way around it. As Bush stands with his back against the Iraq door, the blood seeps through the cracks. It is difficult for him to hide the carnage in the Iraq occupation.

His fragile ego holds both the United States and Iraq hostage because his father didn’t teach him about failure.
