(b)ass masters


I thought this letter Bill Maher wrote to Bush would go well with this picture from Bush's vacation:

Mr. President, this job can't be fun for you any more. There's no
more money to spend--you used up all of that. You can't start another war
because you used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of
your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people.
Listen to your Mom. The cupboard's bare, the credit cards maxed out. No
one's speaking to you. Mission accomplished.

Now it's time to do what you've always done best: lose interest and
walk away. Like you did with your military service and the oil company and
the baseball team. It's time. Time to move on and try the next
fantasy job. How about cowboy or space man? Now I know what you're saying:
there's so many other things that you as President could involve
yourself in. Please don't. I know, I know. There's a lot left to
do. There's a war with Venezuela. Eliminating the sales tax on yachts.
Turning the space program over to the church. And Social Security to
Fannie Mae. Giving embryos the vote.

But, Sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you
govern like Billy Joel drives. You've performed so poorly I'm surprised that
you haven't given yourself a medal. You're a catastrophe that walks
like a man. Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he never
conceded an entire city to rising water and snakes.

On your watch, we've lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four
airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City of
New Orleans. Maybe you're just not lucky. I'm not saying you don't
love this country. I'm just wondering how much worse it could be
if you were on the other side.

So, yes, God does speak to you. What he is saying is: 'Take a hint.'

If some medicine man invents a pill that causes your BMs to be white as snow, taste like butterscotch, and burst forth like TCBY soft-serve...

I think I could thank someone for crapping in my mouth.
