Yeah, like we're so mature
One of the Bush Family characteristics—and it's very WASPy, isn't it? Some things never change—that really spikes my B.S.S. is the effortless way they combine an air of sanctimonious superiority with narcisstic indifference to the existence of humans unlike themselves. Leadfoot gives the Middle East a full dose of it
"Baby steps," forsooth... Subtext: All the actors in the Middle East are children, to be tutored by Dear Leader and His Consort. Jeebus.
And I suppose the Bush Family stole Election 2000 and lied their way into Whack like they're, you know, so totally mature.
NOTE The Downing Street Memo (back) proves that "Bush lied, soldiers died" is not rhetorical excess or Bush-bashing but a sober description of the actual methodology employed.
[LAURA "LEADFOOT" BUSH:] "It will take a lot of baby steps and I'm sure that there will be a few steps backward on the way, but I want to encourage the people I met with earlier, the women I just met with, that the United States will do what they can in this process."
