The Madness of King George

Message to George W. Bush: The United States is a representative democracy. That is, people elect other people to represent them in the legislative branch and to see that the laws are faithfully executed in the executive branch. I realize this is very difficult for you to understand because you were handed your office by the Supreme Court Justices your father appointed and would have lost in 2004 if your good friends at Diebold hadn't carried out their promise to get you reelected at any cost. Your family, with its dynastic aspirations, hates the idea of allowing people to control government. Nevertheless, representative democracy is the American way.

The election of 2006 was a real election. Daddy's money and connections couldn't deliver Congress, and new representatives came to town determined to do what they had been elected to do. In part, that meant ending the idiotic war that you started without provocation. They did something you couldn't stand: They sent a funding bill that had some accountability in it. They told you that they weren't going to sign any more blank checks for a moronic, cowardly traitor in the White House who has no strategy and no idea what victory would even look like. But they did vote the funding the troops needed.

And you vetoed the bill because you had to show them that you had a penis. You are a stupid, ignorant person with a tenuous grip on reality and far more money and power than you ever should have had. You are a threat to the United States. You need to understand democracy and live it. Americans expect it.

By the way, you have to leave office on January 20, 2009 unless you are impeached or forced to resign sooner. That is something that even Daddy, Mommy, and the idiots who still see some good in you cannot change.
