Worst President Ever

How dare John McCain and the rest of those rebellious Republican senators challenge the holiness of the Commander in Chief? Don't they know that our way of life hangs in the balance? If we don't allow torture and show trials without evidence then we risk another September 11. The terrorists will have won if we show any weakness. They are watching and stand poised to overthrow the government, trust us.

Since being defeated on his proposed treatment of "illegal combatants" both in the Supreme Court and now in the Senate, George W Bush is on the rampage. Not only is he lambasting the Democratic Party (AKA the capitulators) but is also now forced to fight with members of his own party in the legislative branch and even his former Secretary of State. Led by Republican senator John McCain, himself a victim of torture in Vietnam, Republicans in the Senate have rejected Bush's demand to waive the Geneva Conventions for "illegal combatants". They have proposed their own legislation which Bush has vowed to veto.

These senators obviously missed the lesson that declares that torture and drumhead trials are fundamentally democratic exercises. Come on, if you're evil then you clearly don't have the right to see the evidence against you and may be executed without appeal based on it; only good people get that right. And if you're evil, then we have the right to pull out your fingernails as needed or house you in sub-zero temperatures until you tell us about expired intelligence that is ultimately meaningless. Who cares if intelligence won through torture is almost always wrong? Not President Bush.

It's wonderful to know that we won't have to wait until the end of Bush's tenure for him to be declared the worst president in the history of the United States. Usually it takes historians decades to decide on a president's performance in office. But with Bush it didn't take nearly that long. Bush is not only mad but he is evil himself. His demand for torture and illegal trials demonstrate that he is no different from the enemy he pretends to fight. That's the real lesson of this pathetic exercise.

Thank you George for reminding us of the evil within us all; unlike you, we should always listen to that little voice that speaks to us when we are doing something wrong. I hope you have a successful career with the Carlyle Group after 2008 when you've oozed out of the White House like so much pus.
