No Cheetos, No Answers

Posted on August 11, 2005 in Falsehoods Occupation of Iraq

The news says that Bush “answered” Cindy Sheehan as if she were in the same room eating Cheetos with him. In actuality, Bush was behind the walls of his fortress and Cindy was six miles away — is that over the horizon in the Great Plains? Nor did he answer the biggest question we Americans have: why did he lie about the weapons of mass destruction? And when is he going to make a habit of attending military funerals or pay a visit to Dover Air Force Base?

The wRong have been acting like the defense attornies at the Michael Jackson trial. (Next they’ll be asking why Cindy Sheehan let her son be taken over to Iraq to be killed.) They don’t want Bush to answer the big questions or even be in the room with her because, well, frankly he’ll look more like a heartless goof than he already does.

Repeat: there was no meeting between Bush and Sheehan. As usual, he fixed the crowd so that no one would embarass him.

A real leader faces all points of view. Bush fails the test over and over again.

Woof woof!

Bush says he goes to Crawford so he can be in the heartland of America. Someone needs to tell him that the people have been forced out of the countryside by agribusiness and are now living in urban areas. The heart of America is paved with asphalt, not wheat and cow dung.
