Bush says he will be "strong asset" to 2008 Republicans

You have to give this bugger his due, he's fucking funny.

Bush has set out to state why he thinks he is an asset to the conservative movement in the forthcoming election.

"Strong asset," Bush said emphatically, when asked at a White House news conference whether he would be an asset or liability for Republicans in presidential and congressional elections next year.

Why does he believe, against all the evidence, that he is such a good role model to be followed?

"Candidates who go out and say that the United States is vulnerable to attack and we're going to make sure our professionals have the tools necessary to protect us are going to do well," said Bush, who appeared invigorated by the question.

Ah, if you play the fear card that will apparently help your campaign. Tell Americans that, if they don't vote for you, they might end up dead.

"Candidates who go out and say that helping these Iraqis realize the benefits of democracy are going to do well," said Bush who has often said that only future historians will offer a true judgement on his presidency.

Future historians will actually note that Bush never gave Iraq democracy, he gave Iraq anarchy which he confused with democracy because people were given a vote. The vote only counts if there is sufficient order to ensure that the will of the people can be carried out. The Bush invasion and "liberation" failed at the first hurdle. He never, ever, established order.

"Candidates who go out and say that it's very important for the United States to have clear principles when it comes to foreign policy, they'll do well.

Ah, right. A clear principle, like promoting democracy. Unless, as in Palestine, the people elect a government that the Israeli's disagree with. In which case the democratic wish of the people can be safely ignored and the people can be starved for making the wrong democratic choice.

Bush appears to think that his "policies" are "an asset" for the forthcoming election in 2008.

As someone who hopes to see this immoral bunch of neo-con warmongers driven from office, I can only hope and pray that they adopt Bush's tactics and attempt to defend his presidency and his positions.

As the Dear Leader himself would say: Bring It On.
