wow! if you haven't read "Bad Boys" yet....
take a quick jump to the Home page!

a truly searing indictment of the Bush-spawn with one of the best rationales for the installation of W i've read. highly recommended!

That left George, or Dubya, who was vacuous and disconnected from reality, but clearly the most dangerous of the Bush boys. Crude and brutish, Dubya ruled Texas politics with a mean-spirited, politically-driven crusade for retributive justice. Although Texas governor for only five years and eight months, Dubya revved up "Old Sparky," the Texas death machine, where 144 evil, cold-blooded killers were brought to justice under his merciless eye. It has been widely reported that he took no more than 15 minutes on a case before denying pleas for mercy. Texas justice, under Dubya, was little more than an extension of his favorite childhood game - frogs and firecrackers.

Dubya was the perfect PNAC presidential puppet. A self-admitted former drunk who wasted the first 40 years of his life in an alcoholic stupor, Dubya traded one addiction for another when he was suddenly "born again" and catapulted full-blown atop Mount Hubris and onto a throne at the right hand of God. An added benefit was that he is completely devoid of intellectual curiosity; therefore, easily influenced and manipulated. They played upon the only sense Dubya appeared to have - an overblown sense of his own worth. This was especially important after 9-11, wherein it was a simple matter to convince him that he was chosen by the Almighty, as he said himself, "To answer these attacks and rid the world of evil."

Through Dubya, PNAC's goal of world dominion merged seamlessly with the goal of "dominionism" cherished by millions of religious fundamentalists who pant for the Second Coming and beckon to Dubya from their ringside seats at Armageddon. Convinced that 9-11 was an opportunity to be "seized to achieve great things," Dubya told the Washington Post's Bob Woodward, "We will export death and violence to the four corners of the earth in defense of this great nation..."

6. Yes, Nostamj
I read it. It was a great article. I didn't realize there were 4 Bush's. (what did we ever do to deserve that).

And each one worse than the other. And the Matriarch, phew what a horrible woman. Horrible dad, too. Just a plain awful family.
