    Don't hate the hood ornament

    Cheny, Rove and their buddies on k street. Come on who's really in charge.

    I keep telling folks, why hate Bush? He's just a hood ornament. If you really think Bush is capable of all the diabolical plots he's been accused of your giving him waaaay to much credit.

    Tip to politicians everywhere, when choosing a brainless puppet please put a little more effort into getting him to look and talk like a real leader. 1000s dead for the sake of oil and defense contractors is one thing but having your national leader be as articulate and as a trained chimp just makes it embarrasing to hold a US passport.
