Maya Angelou sends STRONG message about peace to bushco

I just saw a clip on Oprah where Angelou recites her latest poem
called "Amazing Peace," with junior there in the audience (wearing
his typical, vacuous, expression). This was for the annual Christmas
tree lighting at the WH last week. Wonder if it gave any of them
pause?? It's a powerful poem.

It reads, in part:

Angels and Mortals, Believers and Nonbelievers,
look heavenward, and speak the word aloud.
Peace.

2. If the expression on his face was any indication...

I think you're right!!

But I'm glad Angelou was able to recite her poem-- the rethugs
were probably having a fit hearing its message!!!

3. He's a "WAR" pResident, not to mention dumb as dirt, so of course he

didn't understand.

4. He is not one to understand

the beautiful subtly of Maya's poem or even her every day speech for that matter. What he would have understood is if Maya got on one side of him and Oprah on the other and they gave him a good shake and slap upside the head a few times... and then maybe a good shake again and then a sock in the nose and then...

He's an idiot. English is not his native tongue.
