Bill Maher's open letter to Bush...

[Koyaanisqatsi]

Just got this in email:

>In case you missed last Friday's HBO's "Late Night with Bill Maher," here
>was his open letter to the President:
>
>Mr. President, this job can't be fun for you any more. There's no more
>money to spend--you used up all of that. You can't start another war
>because you used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your
>term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people. Listen
>to your Mom. The cupboard's bare, the credit cards maxed out. No one's
>speaking to you. Mission accomplished.
>
>Now it's time to do what you've always done best: lose interest and walk
>away. Like you did with your military service and the oil company and
>the baseball team. It's time. Time to move on and try the next fantasy
>job. How about cowboy or space man? Now I know what you're saying:
>there's so many other things that you as President could involve
>yourself in. Please don't. I know, I know. There's a lot left to do.
>There's a war with Venezuela. Eliminating the sales tax on yachts.
>Turning the space program over to the church. And Social Security to
>Fannie Mae. Giving embryos the vote.
>
>But, Sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you govern
>like Billy Joel drives. You've performed so poorly I'm surprised that
>you haven't given yourself a medal. You're a catastrophe that walks like
>a man. Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he never conceded
>an entire city to rising water and snakes.
>
>On your watch, we've lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four
>airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City of
>New Orleans. Maybe you're just not lucky. I'm not saying you don't love
>this country. I'm just wondering how much worse it could be if you were
>on the other side.
>
>So, yes, God does speak to you. What he is saying is: "Take a hint."

13. Bill has a new fan....

My 86 year old dad stumbled upon him on HBO two weeks ago.

He enthusiastically asked me if I had ever heard of Bill Maher, and if I ever saw his show.

Dam - Sorry dad, I wish I would have told you sooner:rofl:

You want to see a pissed off American? Talk to someone in that age group that served in WWII, and ask them what they think of Amerika these days?! Especially when they are treated like a second rate citizen because they have Medicare for insurance.

14. My Dream

Is for* come out and say "after further review, Al Gore won in 2000. I am hereby granting him the remainder of my term" Unfortunately, it will have come 6 years too late.
