Not with a bang, but with a chimp
by Ed Naha | June 24, 2008


When a third rate Carney chimp fancies himself a razorback gorilla destined for King Kong status, there's bound to be trouble. In America's case, seven and a half years' worth.

Which brings me to the hurricane of verbal gas George W. Bush has unleashed in the last week or so. "It's in our national interest that we defeat hopelessness," he sanctimoniously stated to a British reporter, apparently unaware that a new Harris poll found that 80% of Americans think this country is going down the crapper and only 24% think Bush is doing a good job. (Apparently, 24% of Americans enjoy wearing gorilla suits, too.)

On a whirlwind gasbag tour of both Europe and the states, Bush has redefined, yet again, the word "delusional." And, as usual, no one has called him on it.

In an interview with Sky News Political editor Adam Boulton, Bush exuded the kind of cockiness known only to victorious warriors and guys who take off their pants, use their underwear for headgear and wave "bye-bye" to passing cars from the end of their driveways. And, as we all know, a warrior Bush ain't.

When Boulton noted that Afghanistan is turning out notso hotso, stating that "no one really expected to be where we are now with a high rate of casualties amongst British and American forces," Bush calmly replied, "I think a lot of people didn't expect there to be a democratically elected government, either, with a parliament and a President."

While Bush was singing, "I do think it's getting better," headlines were screaming: "Is the Taliban Making a Comeback?" "Afghan official: 870 inmates escape from prison," and "May combat deaths in Afghanistan outpace Iraq: Violence signals widening of war to Pakistan, Taliban, al-Qaeda havens."

1. The Chimperor has no clothes
He's wearing his underware on his head and waving by-by to the cars from the end of his drive way.
