Connecting the Dots
by Glynn Wilson
Today I am revealing for the first time why I am giving up playing golf for the good of the country. I’m not making this up.
I will not play golf again until George W. Bush moves out of the White House permanently.

| Bush gives up golf? |
In case you missed one of Bush’s latest lies, check out Mike Allen’s interview with him for Politico.com.
“For the first time,” The Politico reports, “Bush revealed a personal way in which he has tried to acknowledge the sacrifice of soldiers and their families.”
“I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” Bush said. “I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”
Bush said he made that decision after the August 2003 bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad, which killed Sergio Vieira de Mello, the top U.N. official in Iraq and the organization’s high commissioner for human rights, according to the Washington paper.

This assertion was not challenged by the reporter or any other national news organization. So let me fill you in based on information from inside sources who have played golf and other sports with Bush.
If you watch the video clip from the link, you will see that Bush’s body language reveals that he is a pathological liar. He is incapable of telling the truth about anything, apparently.
Bush quit playing golf because he was not any good at it and it was taking too much of his time. He took up mountain biking in 2003 and that has been his sport of choice since, that is until he crashed into a Scottish police officer while attending the G8 summit.

Now, sources say, Bush mostly mounts the White House treadmill with Condi and they like to take a “hot tub” together while talking about foreign policy and other things, like how the spamming operation is progressing in Paraguay designed to shut down all the liberal bloggers in the world.
And, they like to talk about how they can plant the seeds for John McCain’s victory over Barack Obama for president. Like going before the Israeli Knesset and, without naming Obama, attacking his willingness to open negotiations with Syria and Iran.
In case you were busy playing golf or something this week and missed the story, Bush said, “some seem to believe we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along.”
Bush went on to compare a willingness to meet with “terrorists and radicals” to the pre-World War II “appeasement” of Nazi Germany, which makes absolutely no sense at all as a comparison - unless you understand the Karl Rove doctrine of saying the opposite of what you mean to confuse the masses.

It’s not even the word Bush should have used if he had any idea what he was talking about. Appeasement means giving up something to get something in politics, like John F. Kennedy did with during the Cuban Missle Crisis - or like Ronald Regan did with the Iranians during the Iran-Contra scandal in the 1980s.
Of course, Reagan is the one who supposedly established the U.S. policy of not negotiating with terrorists - all while his envoys negotiated with Iran to sell them arms in their war with Iraq at the time, all to help fund the U.S. war against the alleged Communists in Nicaragua. As you may recall, another George Bush was involved in that transaction - as vice president.
It’s a classic case of misdirection and double speak. But considering Bush has the lowest presidential approval rating since pollsters have been asking the question, it does not appear to be working anymore.

So my giving up golf has nothing to do with the price increase at Roebuck Golf Course and the elimination of the twilight special, or the fact that I am so out of shape from living in the Birmingham suburbs that I can’t walk 18 holes anymore.
I am swearing off golf until Bush is out of the fucking White House. What are you giving up?
