George and George: Dumb and Dumberer

[Snellius]

For those who agree that that other Incurious George -- George Pataki -- is a bigger moron than the other moron whose ass he regularly kisses, here's more proof in my local newspaper this morning:

Gov. George Pataki and five other governors, dressed in flak jackets, toured the streets of Baghdad yesterday, meeting with troops and speaking with factory workers on a day when a truck packed with explosives killed up to 53 Iraqis.
...
Pataki, the former mayor of Peekskill, found that Iraqis have something in common with his New York constituents: They can complain. He talked with one man upset about the lack of regular electricity and the dirty streets, and said he told him: "You remind me of any one of my constituents when I was the mayor of my hometown talking about the power and the streets."

"And that is such a good thing," Pataki said of the man's complaints. "Because that is freedom. That is the essence of freedom."

1. These fuckers are out there on a photo op without a clue as to

how to converse with the common people. I can hear him now, "Let them eat shit"

Disgusting waste of our precious energy to get his fat ass over there and back, and to what end, if he cannot solve their problems?

Come, we go :puke:

2. Freedom is also the freedom to starve, isn't it Georgie?

And if those ungrateful Iraqis won't work for $20/month, they can just starve to death, eh? It's their own free choice.

3. Hey Iraqians, you're FREE!

Free to complain and kvetch and we're free to ignore you! Welcome to crony capitalism!
