Bush Blames Democrats for AttorneyGate, Demands they be "More Sober"
A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS
"It is this kind of political theater that has caused the American people to lose confidence in how Washington operates," President Bush said on Monday about Democratic plans for a no-confidence vote on Attorney General Gonzales.
Well gee, isn't that the point of a vote of no-confidence? It is amazing how effortlessly Bush can blame Democrats for why folks are upset about the AttorneyGate scandal. Talk about shooting the messenger.
"I stand by Al Gonzales, and I would hope that people would be more sober in how they address these important issues," Bush added. "And they ought to get the job done of passing legislation, as opposed to figuring out how to be actors on the political theater stage."
With all due respect, we won't be taking any lessons from George W. Bush on being "more sober." Besides, what's the point of passing news laws if the Attorney General and the rest of the Justice Department have become so corrupt?
"I frankly view what's taking place in Washington today as pure political theater," Bush continued, dragging out his stupid analogy even further. But votes of no-confidence are hardly entertaining; the Bush Administration has constructed enough dramatic tragedies to rival Shakespeare.
It is the Bush Administration that's been making a killing off a disastrous war, secretly installed a whole bureaucracy of loyal followers, and accosted a heavily medicated, non-acting Attorney General to approve spying on the populace during a clandestine hospital meeting.
Oh, and if anyone wants to make this a musical, we've got the vocals of MC Rove and John Ashcroft at our disposal.
Perhaps President Bush should actually watch a play before he starts blabbering about "political theater." Has anyone dramatized The Pet Goat yet?
