Its not Funny!?!

Last night on the daily show I saw this clip of President Bush in Germany. At first it was funny, then it was hilarious, and then after the third question it became tragically sad. I know he has a “folksy” appeal and that many of those who love him claim that he is down to earth and “real”…but this is out of control. Its OK to make a joke now and then but this is classic playing the fiddle while Rome is burning. Usually my wife and I laugh our butts off at the daily show. But after this segment I was literally a little sick. I turned to see if my wife felt the same way…and she was literally crying. Its just not funny anymore. The witty “Bushisms.” The public slip-ups. The goofiness. Its not funny.


OK its a little funny…BUT ITS NOT DAMMIT! Alright Alright Alright..lets put it to the audience. Is this clip above “funny?”

    This isn’t stupidity (although in some sense it is) but in reality it’s arrogance. He has won this battle, he is the President with a congress so power crazed with control thet they will let him do whatever he wants. So he can joke… he hee the pig. I wanted to link this back to my concept of the “War on Intelligence” currently raging in this country, but after watching it I couldn’t avoid the pure arrogance, the laid back “I’ll say what I want” composure. Sure there are those that envy this man and think someone this represents a true American… sad that people think this way.

    Even sadder that people view us through this mans representation of us all.
