THE REAL POLITIK ISSUE: VOLUME 14, ISSUE 29
A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT
by Malik Isasis
The picture accompanying this post with Bush looking through binoculars with the cap still on speaks volumes about this man and his psychological make-up. We have all at one point or another left the cap on a video camera or stills camera but immediately recognized the oversight and simply removed the cap-- a couple seconds, tops. No big deal.
However, President Bush who must have immediately noticed that he was looking into blackness, continued to stare through the capped binoculars as if he was seeing what the military officers abreast of him, were seeing.
What would make a person do that?
I think this incident perfectly encapsulate who George W. Bush is as a person. Someone whose ego is so precious, so fragile that it won’t allow for any perception of infallibility—even the tiniest of infallibilities such as an oversight of a capped pair of binoculars. This is a man who the country, and the world want to convince that he needs to change.
Bush’s ego is inflexible, which is why he bases decisions on his faith, so he can personally blame Jesus Christ if shit goes to hell.
I suppose anyone running for President of the United States is narcissistic, I mean who wants to be the leader of the free world? You can imagine the ego it takes to believe one can actually do this, again no big deal. However, it is a big deal when narcissism becomes destructive and infringes on the rights of others. Take Iraq for instance, the country is tearing itself apart and the presence of the US exacerbates the violence and death, but Bush fails to talk to those with whom he disagrees with; he can not acknowledge the failure in Iraq because that would mean he is a failure as a person--albeit, he is a failure, one big shitty pile of failure.
Getting Away With it
Why does the media, the Democratic and Republican Parties protect this man, when it is as clear as the day is long, that he doesn't know what the hell he is doing? What's more is that he has gotten away with complete human destruction. The Dems have approved another war-funding bill, a red carpet welcome for more rape and pillage. It seems the Democrats are willing to negotiate away the Constitution for fear of being unpatriotic. Who knew such elementary trickery was so effective?
The Democrats have played politics by allowing Bush and the Republicans to run the country into the ground over the course of his eight, long ass years of governance, so that there would be a backlash. Well, congrats Democrats. You did it. Blood covers your hands too, you cowardly bastards.
The Administration’s slogan for the failed troop surge, “A New Way Forward” is like that cap on the binoculars--he pretends to see a "New Way Forward" but sees jack-shit, nothing.
