FATHER & SON (#41 & #43)

August 28, 2003

Sometimes I think the the press is scraped from the bottom of the IQ box. Then other times, I just think it’s the 24 hour news channels that cause them to have to think up dumb questions hour after hour. But, I really don’t know what excuse the newspapers have.

Let me get to my example that’s been bugging me for weeks now. The press is making a big FLAP over what Bush #41′s advisors are saying about the potential for a war with Iraq. Ever since Scowcroft came out against the war, everyone wants to know if #43 is getting the message. Well, after James Baker came out against the war, it’s very obvious to the press that #41 is sending a message to #43 that he should BACK OFF!

Of course when Dick Cheney comes out in support of the war, that’s a message from #43 to #41 that he really knows what he’s doing. Such nonsense makes me want to, well, I won’t go there!

Let me give you my “read” on it all. We’re talking Father-Son here and I’m sure that’s a concept that escapes the press. If dad wanted to get a message to son, he’d call him or better yet, bend his ear the next time they play golf. And, if #43 was really messing up, #41 would send #43′s mother to his front step, and you know how convincing Barbara can be. Number #43 has always said that it’s good to obey your mother! Put him to the test!

So, come on guys, get a life: in fact get a story that has something to do with reality. Better yet, bring us some real news or some sensible OPINIONS have match with what is REALLY going on in the world.

PS. The press might want to know that Scowcroft and friends were against attacking Iraq when they were advising #41 also. They’re just being consistent: consistently wrong!
