W for Waterboarding

I just got home from one of the tackiest pubs in Nice. I was going to write about the highlight of the evening which was when a guy got kicked out of the pub for criticising the DJ. However, it actually touches upon the real subject of this post since it is quite a Bushesque (yes, I invented this word) way of dealing with criticism, remember the student who got tazed for asking inconvenient questions to Bush at a university seminar? I am sure Bush didn’t instruct the security forces to eject and taze people who asks inconvenient questions, but he silently watched it happen, probably glad he got off the hook.

What made me change my mind about the subject for this post was the news that the tap dancing monkey says he will veto a legislation that would prevent the CIA from using waterboarding as an interrogation technique. The self proclaimed advocator of freedom and democracy sends a message to the world that it approves of torture. As if he hasn’t done enough damage yet to America’s reputation worldwide. It is hardly surprising though, and it strengthens my (prejudice) of republicans as “gung-ho”, gun loving, inhumane fascist warmongers. Be it Obama or Clinton, the US of A is in great need of a “liberal faggot” in the white house.

When you think about all the damage his administration has caused, it’s not as easy anymore to laugh at all of the wonderful moments of stupidity that constitutes his only valuable legacy to the world. I don’t know, try it yourselves.
