I have read a few posts, and a lot replies from people here on DU, that are buying into the fact that Bush didn't know about the Dubai deal, among other things. Seems a lot like the Reagan defense, only now we know that Reagan had somewhat of an excuse.
I don't buy this for a second. The republicans are so dumb that they have managed to co-opt all three branches of our government, infiltrate the highest levels of corporate America, take over and shape the news we watch, trash our constitution and what have Americans done?
The answer is not a hell of a lot.
It has taken over twenty years for the Thugs to put all of their people in all of the right places to achieve a bloodless coup of our government. And we didn't even put up much of a fight. We allowed them to define us as a party, as presidential candidates, our issues and everything else. We have allowed this to happen.
We whine, piss and moan, but while we are whining and pissing and moaning, the other side is having their cake and eating it too. It is a bitter dessert that they will eventually choke on and die from great national indigestion.
But the bottom line is that they have accomplished what they have set out to do.
And for Bush being stupid? I hardly think so. He may not be Phi Beta Kappa material, but he was smart enough to surround himself with some pretty politically astute operatives.
I am not envious. His kind reek, like apples that are rotten to the core, but again, I'll make my point: If they are so dumb, what does that make us?
If you accuse them of anything, let it be of the arrogance that they have from always getting their way.
Last thought. If there is a heaven and hell, I sincerely believe that the devil holds a special place for Bush, right beside Hitler and Stalin.
