Huckster in Chief

I've been planning for weeks to write a simple, paint-by-numbers blog to explain to almost anyone how we have a dangerously incompetent president in the White House. Fuck that.

If you voted for Bush in 2004, watch this video clip and explain to me why this man should be leading this country. No space limitations on your response. Feel free to use big words.

I'm going to try that - just laugh and say "That's a good question. Thanks. Next." Kind of defeats the whole point of his recent attempt to host these "open forum" Q&As with no pre-arranged questions when this shit-for-brains DOESN'T FUCKING ANSWER THEM!

I propose the following new federal law for all politicians and media who cover politics:
1) The media are only allowed to ask YES or NO questions (sounds easy enough, right? But here comes the tricky part)
2) The politicians must actually ANSWER "YES" or "NO", and ONLY "YES" or "NO" - these two simple one word answers are all that are allowed.
That's it. Simple, huh?
Anyone who does not abide by the law will be immediately deployed to Iraq - indefinitely.
Example:
Q: "Will we pull all U.S. troops out of Iraq by 2010?"
A: "We will ensure that peace and democr- Hey! What are you doing? Where are you taking me? Help meeeeeeeeeeeeee..."

It's one thing not to answer a question. This guy laughed it off like he's hosting the Pam Anderson Roast on Comedy Central.

Thing is, this was a very intelligent, completely legitimate question. And clearly one he'd never even begun to think about.

And picking up the phone to ask Donald Rumsfeld about what's actually happening in Iraq is like asking Joseph Hazelwood how things are going on the Exxon Valdez.

There's a difference between delegating your authority and living in a bubble, reliant on yes-men and incompetent cronies and boobs for information.

But we all know this president doesn't gather information from experts or think. He feels. And then prays he's right.
