GEORGE AND OSAMA CELEBRATE FEAR

I see that Osama bin Laden has launched his own PR celebration of 9/11 to coincide with King George’s. And, make no mistake about that, George is celebrating this week. A movie supposedly portraying him as a hero on 9/11 as opposed to being more like the Goat-boy of DC is in the can, and headed for the TV set of this nation via ABC and Disney. It is good to be president. One can rewrite history when one screws said history up and disappoints one's countrymen.

Is it a coincidence that the FBI warns us to stay afraid as George launches another week of the same old tired speech about terrorism (he just might have it memorized by now)? Can one help but notice how convenient it is for both men? George admitted that Osama helped him in 2004; maybe a little ringy dingy from Cheney or Karl? James Baker cleaning up after George? I’m just saying. Some swear Osama is still a CIA asset. I wonder how much fervor Rove and company need to whip up to get Americans terrified again. I hope a lot more than this.

The mental chaos being created launching multiple programs in the PR blitz is serving at least to weary us. That much is for sure. Bush critics find themselves shifting constantly from one front to another. From critiquing and lambasting the upcoming ABC film, to analyzing Valerie Plame’s real role at the CIA to George's admissions of secret detentions, misdirection and redirection from one critical issue to another takes its toll on our ability to focus. It’s Bush's version of Mohammed Ali's rope-a-dope.

When I was reading the news today on MSNBC, I was given the opportunity to vote on what I thought about the upcoming movie to be aired on ABC, Path to 9/11. I voted that the movie was a definite attempt to mislead and 60% of MSNBC readers agreed with me so far. So I wonder if Americans in general are enjoying the party like George Bush and Osama? George and Osama love this attention fest. Again, two of the most privileged n'er do well sons of wealthy oil men who were in this world, given too much power.


Just what the rest of us needs, two egomaniacs with a sense of entitlement and who share delusions of grandeur having the power of the press to make them look like figures to be celebrated, two sick sick men who make it, once again, look like it is all about them.

I say, the party’s over. Get Osama, Impeach Bush.

Right there, on Afgan's plains' (Apolgies to R. K., also a tribute)
