Not to be rude, but isn't it time Mister Bush just shut up?A. Alexander, April 1st, 2007
Isn't it about time that one of George W. Bush's advisers stepped up, and told him to just shut up? Seriously, if the Chinese ambassador can say that to the President, so can a trusted adviser. Sure, it is rude to tell someone to "shut up" and undoubtedly mothers all across America would cringe, but desperate times call for desperate measures. They could use it as one of those "training moments." Perhaps, moms could explain that, "we never tell others to 'shut up', but sometimes life has gray areas and this is one of them...."
Mister Bush has only 660 days left in office...aside from another terrorist attack or mega-hurricane-like disaster, he doesn't need to speak. And even under those circumstances, just a short note passed along to the press would suffice. Maybe, "Boy-howdy, did ya'll see that big honkin' ? Laur and I wish everyone the best, but mostly we hope that Halliburton can rake in the cash on this one, too!"
That's all it would take. He needn't make a big production of the disaster or rush in for the big photo-op, handshakes, fake tears, bullhorn proclamations or anything else. The nation doesn't need to hear anymore of his post-disaster lies.
