George W Bush (I)


I'm sure that if I looked hard enough at what he was doing I could publish a "grips my shit" post about our erstwhile president and his useless lying cronies (Hi Dick!) every hour of every day.

Anyway, just to reiterate, George W Bush grips my shit

Not content last week with attempting to re-write history by suggesting his (in)famous "mission accomplished" banner in 2003 was misunderstood by everybody ("What? I gave the impression that the war was over? Phooey!") his administration once again put the health of the American public at risk.

They urged a federal appeals court to STOP - I'll repeat that... STOP U.S. meat packers from testing all their animals for mad cow disease (also known as Scrabble-beating "Bovine spongiform encephalopathy" or, more boringly, BSE)

The government sought to make a Kansas-based beef supplier - and others - quit conducting more comprehensive checks on its product saying that "widespread testing does not guarantee food safety and could result in a false positive that scares consumers"

Is this Mad Politician Disease (Bovine Spongibob Squarepants) or what?

I'll warrant that this had more to do with the lobbying of a Washington "Special Interest Group" than it does with the fake remarks coming out of the Agricultural Department.

What a load of old bull. Or, rather, cow.
