Rudeness

Today the Rude One really outdid himself, summarizing GWB's prayer and Jesus' reactions thereto.

Said Bush, "We ask Him to heal the sick, and comfort the dying, and sustain those who care for them. We ask Him to bring solace to the victims of tragedy, and help to those suffering from addiction and adversity. We ask him to strengthen our families, and to protect the innocent and vulnerable in our country. We ask Him to protect our nation from those who wish us harm -- and watch over all who stepped forward to defend us. We ask Him to bring about the day when His peace shall reign across the world -- and every tear shall be wiped away."

Jesus wondered, between technicolor yawns, why every time conservatives talk about prayer, they make it sound like people can't do shit for themselves, but when it comes to the government actually doing shit to, you know, "help those suffering" and protecting "the innocent and vulnerable," it's all, "Hey, motherfuckers, do that shit on your own." Or pray. It's a vicious circle.

Bush went on: "Experiencing the presence of God transforms our hearts -- and the more we seek His presence, the more we feel the tug at our souls to reach out to the poor, and the hungry, the elderly, and the infirm. When we answer God's call to love a neighbor as ourselves, we enter into a deeper friendship with our fellow man -- and a deeper relationship with our eternal Father."

Jesus yelled at his computer, "No, no, no, you don't get to say this shit when you veto a bill to give more children health care because you're afraid some adults might get to go to the doctor, too. Fucker."

That, friends and neighbors, is exactly fucking it when it comes to ther Religious Right and the GOP, and whey they deserve one another's clammy embrace when they're dropped into the fucking ocean.

Hey, Mitt, don't let the reality-based community hit your flip-flopping ass on the way out.

And finally, it was liberals who caused Romney's decision to suspend his campaign. Romney compared himself to Ronald Reagan in 1976, invoking Reagan's decision to stay in the presidential race through the convention that year to applause. Then he dropped the bombshell: "But there is an important difference from 1976. Today we are a nation at war. And Barack [Obama] and Hillary [Clinton] have made their intentions clear regarding Iraq and the war on terror: They would retreat, declare defeat."

This, Romney said, he could not allow. And so he would be dropping out. "[I]f I fight on, in my campaign, all the way to the convention... I'd forestall the launch of a national campaign and, frankly, I'd make it easier for Senator Clinton or Obama to win. Frankly, in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign be a part of aiding a surrender to terror," he said.

Finally, to shouts of "No!," Romney delivered the capper. "I entered this race because I love America," he said. "And because I love America, in this time of war, I feel I have to now stand aside for our party and for our country."

That's right - speaking before the biggest bunch of conservative assholes in the country, Ol' Mitty is already pre-emptively blaming the failure or George W. Motherfucking Bush's "War on Terror" on the Democrats and liberals, who haven't even been elected.

Go die in a hair-care fire, you sack of shit. And when your asshat PR monkeys call you "all-American," you might want to remind them that you're the son of Mexican immigrants, whose grandparents fled America because of persecution of their beliefs (and their unwillingess to give up polygamy). Persecution you, yourself, now espouse.

You are a hypocrite and a coward, and this country is far better without you aspiring to lead it.
