When I heard about Dubya’s string of bon mots, I figured that it’s just par for the course. Does it really seem appropriate for an alleged president to make jokes at the expense of US soldiers and innocent Iraqis who’ve died because of his fabricated war? I can think of several very fitting words to describe him, but I would be banned from LUGNET for using them.

Ahem. This would be more of that “true prejudice” affecting your opinion stuff. George W. Bush would never mock or make light of the sacrifices he has asked American families to make. Clearly, the “bit” was intended as self-deprecation. Your hatred of Bush has tainted your judgment.

Really? If I claimed that you were a threat and then shot you dead, would you (from beyond) laugh along with me when I joked about my erroneous (or false) claim of threat?

I admit that I hate Dubya just about as much as it is possible to hate someone I will never likely meet, and in some matters I don’t doubt that my antipathy may prevent me from viewing his administration with objectivity, but I think his comments are self-evidently tasteless. Perhaps he should use these comedy stylings in his next re-election commercial? Let’s see how much of his constituency finds his antics amusing.

Dave!
