Ex-Reagan Aide Calls Bush a Mass Murderer

Liliana Segura: Bush has more blood on his hands than anyone could possibly imagine.

Back in his pre-coronation days, when George W. was still known as "Governor Bush," the Campaign to End the Death Penalty had a bestselling item in its fundraising kit: a t-shirt with a mugshot of the future president splashed across the front, reading "WANTED FOR MURDER." Bush's crowning legacy at the time was having racked up a record-breaking 152 executions in the state of Texas--and doing so with a clear-eyed callousness that was at once startling and sickening.

Little did we know that less than ten years later, Bush would have more blood on his hands than we could possibly imagine.

He's drenched in it. Between the massive death toll in Iraq--655,000 as of last fall--to those anguished masses who would become bloated bodies in New Orleans, Bush has shown a boundless capacity for cruel and unusual punishment for those whose lives are expendable in the racist La La land that his administration calls home.

To those of us in the real world, the resulting death count is staggering, impossible to wrap our head around. It's like the comedian Eddie Izzard's riff on Pol Pot:

a "take it back, buyers remorse" chance.....they allowed this to happen..

And see the arrogance and evilness. Remember when you were in public, a restaurant or a bar and a group of men came in and your cringed. You didn't know just what to expect. You know they are bullies, you know they like to stir up trouble and you wonder if you can get out without it starting.
