Typhoid Dub

Ol' Dub is a liability. Duh! Now the Dumbos are ducking him. The I-Man made headlines when he got Congressman J.D. Hayworth (R-AZ) to disavow Dub when Hayworth launches his '06 reelection campaign. Rick Santorum is a sleazeball, but even he was a no-show when Dub made his Veteran's Day attack on John Kerry (of all people). How do you spell "desperation," kids? If this is (fair & balanced) delight, so be it.

Bush Abandonment Watch, Part 7
Rick Santorum pulls a Kilgore.
By Timothy Noah

President Bush likes to belittle people by giving them nicknames. Perhaps it's time to assign our commander in chief a nickname of his own: "Typhoid Dubya."

First it was the Republican gubernatorial candidate in Virginia, Jerry Kilgore, who declined to appear with Bush, pleading a previous engagement when Bush gave a speech there. Kilgore later relented and let the president stump for him, only to get whupped by his Democratic opponent on Election Day.

Then (as I noted earlier today) Rep. J.D. Hayworth, R-Ariz., when asked on Imus in the Morning whether he would want Bush to campaign for him in Arizona, answered, "In a word, no."

Now Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., is begging off an appearance with the president. Bush will be in Wilkes-Barre Nov. 11 to give a speech about the war on terrorism. Santorum can't make it because, um, he has to give a speech to … the American Legion. Yeah, that's it. The American Legion. Sorry, Mr. President. Love to Laura and the girls.

Go Figure!

Some time ago, I installed a hit counter (not visible) on this blog. More recently, since I am retired from the groves of academe aka the Collegium Excellens, I took this blog public. While I labored in the vineyards of the Collegium, I chose to keep the blog private because I say some things that some find offensive, even treasonous. I got into enough trouble at the Collegium without having to defend freedom of speech. Then, I had a dustup here in Geezerville when I volunteered to to a program for the Geezerville Computer Club on blogs and blogging in early June 2005. The program chair called me and said that some members of the Club had visited this blog and found it wanting in terms of support and loyalty for Dub and his war criminals. I was asked to omit mention of my blog in my talk on blogs and blogging. Geezerville is a stronghold for Dub and the Dumbos. Now, the gloves have come off. 257 people this week must have had a lot of time on their hands. Anyway, even though they are lurkers, welcome aboard! If this is (fair & balanced) treason, so be it.
