Megalomaniacal Bush Is Incompetent, Insane, Morally Corrupt & Unfazed By Reality
“So let us not talk falsely now,” sang Bob Dylan, “the hour is getting late.”


Despite low poll numbers and the last election, the president remains amazingly unfazed by reality

A litany of offenses

I spent many years in major professional and volunteer positions within the Republican Party, and was even a delegate supporting W’s father at the 1980 National Republican Convention in Detroit. So I do not come lightly to my concerns.

In my opinion, Bush is either incompetent, insane or morally corrupt. The scariest — and perhaps most likely, given the litany of his offenses — is that he’s a combination of all three. Our collective national consciousness has been anesthetized by the staggering number and enormity of the egregious acts committed by this president against our nation’s principles, its people, its resources and against the world at large.

Among these sins are his evisceration of the Bill of Rights through unlawful wiretaps, the opening of our personal mail, the interception of our Internet communications, data mining (including our banking transactions, credit card purchases, and airline travel) and the elimination of that cornerstone of American jurisprudence, habeas corpus.

To these, add his authorization to torture detainees, the creation of CIA “black site” prisons around the world, and his unscrupulous use of “signing statements” in a blatant attempt to create an imperial presidency of historic proportions.

8. And another Republican jumps ship.
I'm sorry it has taken so long, and so much damage, for people to start seeing Bush as he really is, but still, I'm glad more and more people ARE seeing the light.
