Rant Central Station: Bush is Promoting Himself as a Model President

Gnoman.net

"Bush went on to say how every day of his eight year Presidency, he had consulted the Bible. Well, that explains a lot - for one thing, how he managed to keep making mistakes of biblical proportions during those eight years. Maybe if he had been reading intelligence reports (instead of reading things into intelligence reports) or even some of the world’s newspapers, we all might have been better off. You know, if reading the Bible was so important we could have elected Billy Graham and things would probably have gone a lot smoother...

I realize he’s a lame ass - duck, I meant lame duck - but is that all Bush does these days? Give happy interviews and reminisce about how great his Presidency was? He acts bored, like there’s nothing for him to do - like it’s the last 3 minutes of class where you just sit quietly and wait for the bell to ring. Got news for you George - it’s more like the last 10 seconds of the final round, and the Manager we hired is strutting around the boxing ring blowing kisses at the crowd while we’re still getting pummeled."

And the murderous moron keeps on being a murderous moron. From The Guardian:

"George Bush is working at a breakneck pace to dismantle at least 10 major environmental safeguards protecting America's wildlife, national parks and rivers before he leaves office in January.

With barely 60 days to go until Bush hands over to Barack Obama, his White House is working methodically to weaken or reverse an array of regulations that protect America's wilderness from logging or mining operations, and compel factory farms to clean up dangerous waste.

In the latest such move this week, Bush opened up some 800,000 hectares (2m acres) of land in Rocky Mountain states for the development of oil shale, one of the dirtiest fuels on the planet. The law goes into effect on January 17, three days before Obama takes office.

The timing is crucial. Most regulations take effect 60 days after publication, and Bush wants the new rules in place before he leaves the White House on January 20. That will make it more difficult for Obama to undo them."
