We've been driving across the heart of the US, from Denver to Kansas City. The news has been covering a network interview with "W" about his latest memoir. In the book he states that the lowest point of his entire presidency was when, during Katrina, Kanye West said he didn't care about black people, and that was the same as calling him a racist.
REALLY! That confirms a lot of my opinion of W's character. I can think of several low points in his presidency that a "person of character" would place ahead of being called a racist.
How about the moment when you realized that your "intelligence" team had ignored the information that could have thwarted 9/11?
Not fair? Possibly. But, surely, when you realized that you had just spent thousands of American lives to determine that there were no WMD's. That would depress you a little more than someone calling you a racist.
Didn't W visit Walter Reed? How could seeing the incredible pain and suffering you had personally caused not be a lower point in your life than being called a racist?
And I do believe W is a racist. He may not hate the black man, but he certainly doesn't care about any race he considers inferior. That would be all non white races. If the shoe fits, don't whine when it is pointed out.
Sorry, but I get motivated when I see him being treated as anything other than what he is. A spoiled, frathouse drunk who has done more to damage this country than anyone else I know.
I'll quit calling you Shirley if you'll quit calling him a hero. He's the two worst mistakes this nation ever made.
Looks like I'll have lots more motivation in the future as he and Fox News reinvent history.
Stay safe, see you down the road.
