Machiavelli would be proud of George Dubya
By Bob Sagan (06/07/06)
Apparently that Wiley Coyote (aka George Dubya) did it again: He stole another presidential election from the democrats, according to that paragon of political objectivity, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Ronald Reagan said it best: “The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant. It’s just that they know so much that isn’t true.”
To recap: First Bush steals the election from Al Gore in 2004. Then, four years later, the “idiot” (as John Kerry called Bush on election night 2008), engineers another voter fraud on Kerry himself. Are there any extremes to which this archfiend, master manipulator Bush won’t go?
Considering all the various shades of “dumb” that democrats are prone to paint the president, it’s amazing he’s been able to victimize them two-times running. How could anyone so addlepated twice execute such a Machiavellian masterpiece with the whole world watching?
More sadly, if it’s true, what does it suggest about the liberal intelligentsia? How could these elitists permit this bucolic Pecos Bill to do ‘em in a second time?
I remember, not so fondly, an eight-year-old named Valerie. Each year, the most popular female student in the third grade at my school was voted Queen of The May. Valerie, spoiled little scamp that she was, thought it certain that she had the QTM competition locked up.
When she lost, she was so miffed that she verbally and publicly trashed the little girl who won more votes – a pleasant, pig-tailed kid named Judith, as I recall. I don’t know whatever happened to Valerie, that whiney, mean little harpy. But I bet she’s a registered democrat today.
