Childrens do learn, Preznents duzzn't
Childrens do learn, Preznents duzzn't
by Ed Naha | Oct 2 2007


Flogging his Draconian No Child Left Behind program, last week, President Bush declared: "Childrens do learn."

Now, if you're like me, watching video of Bush mangling the English language, savaging common sense or rejecting reality leads you to coping mechanisms. I've gone through shouting at the TV, hurling objects at the screen, looting the liquor cabinet and chanting gibberish while holding my ears in order to deal with his video visage. Now, during his press conferences and speeches, I try to envision him visiting Michael Vick's house to "pet the pooches."

The problem is: no matter how much we try to cope, or self-medicate or rail against his arrogant illogic, one fact remains. This goof is still in charge. Congress can't or won't do anything to stop him, so, for the time being, we're stuck. On the down side, we're witnessing the nadir of American history. On the plus side, we'll have something to tell the grandkids about - if they're not in a secret CIA detention center in the far-off land of Oingo-Boingo.

Just when you think you know every ass-backward move this mental midget can make, he astonishes you with new ones! Bush, who's long derided "politicians in Washington" (because, as we all know, he isn't one), apparently has decided that, as President, he doesn't have to tackle any subject he chooses to ignore and can feign ignorance about the rest. (Maybe 'feign' isn't the right word.)

1. Ignorance is a conservative value
The 25% that support him find it charming that he is stupid just like them. Never taking responsibility for anything is also a cherished conservative value.

2. I think he said that on purpose
Chrilins....Childrens....He's a racist. Remember what he said regarding the painting of Martin Luther King, Jr. :

"Mrs. King, thanks for this beautiful portrait. I can't wait to hang it."
