White Noise Insanity

I'm really starting to believe that George W. Bush the 43rd president of the United States is morphing into a reptile with fuzzy hair. Watching him today reminded me why I would never want to seek the office of the president and how lying, deceiving, and distorting for years on end takes it's toll on a person's body! Wow. And what was with all the blinking he was doing? I couldn't stand watching it and I found myself concentrating on his blinking rather than listening to his words!!! If he's not highly medicated, then there is something definately wrong with this man. The world 'delusional' always comes to mind, but today, he really looked like a fuzzy-haired, sociopathic, lizard. This is what happens apparently when you know you've lost your power and your days are numbered.

Not only did Georgie talk about Ford's death (which is kind of sad to me, but at the same time, I don't want a 5 day funeral to mourn him like Reagan's funeral! Jees. Come on. Have some humility for once GOPers!!), so didn't his Mom & Dad. Awwwww, it was a Bush Family Mourn Fest. Interestingly enough, I didn't tear up once when Bush Sr. was talking about Gerald Ford's passing. In fact, I didn't believe a goddamn word he said. Bush Sr. said that Ford was instrumental in his own career. Huh. I always thought Bush Sr. was instrumental in his own career and when he didn't get the VP nomination under Ford, he pushed himself in at the last minute when Ronald Reagan was about to pick Gerald Ford as his VP for the 1980 race. Wow! Bush Sr. is still acting like the victim all these years and trying to convince Americans that his career just naturally flowed. Spit.

Anyways, it was a sad day to hear about Gerald Ford's passing. No republican president has been my favorite president in modern times, so when I heard of his death I just hoped the right wingers in this country don't prop this man up as a symbol of "everything good" like they did Ronald Reagan. Our presidents are our presidents and they are important, yes, but treating them like they are an Imperial King (or Queen sometime in the future) is just plain disgusting to me. Ford did do some good for our country in the 1970's, because, quite frankly, he wasn't Richard Nixon and our nation needed anyone but him to be running the show. Ford came in at the right time, but that doesn't mean everything he did during his time was 'godly'. He made mistakes and the biggest one he made was pardoning Nixon. Americans don't like the 'good ole boy buddy system' and this decision is what made him lose to Jimmy Carter. Nonetheless, he's one of the few republicans that I can talk about that doesn't make my whole body react in a primal fashion. He doesn't make me bristle up.

My heart goes out to the Ford family, who have obviously lost their 'treasure', and I'm sure they're wanting some peace right now as they mourn their tremendous loss.
