So Many Republican Hypocrites, So Little Time

George W. Bush

Welcome back to the BuzzFlash GOP Hypocrite of the Week.

Bush, who is now calling himself "the commander guy," has made it clear that he is opposed to timelines, and even benchmarks (even though the benchmarks his administration set up a long time ago were never met, but the media has forgotten that they even existed by now.)

But Nancy Pelosi reminded us that Bush was critical of Clinton for not setting up timelines: "Yet in 1999, on June 5, then-Governor Bush said about President Clinton, 'I think it's important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they would be withdrawn.'"

A timeline is required for Democratic presidents, but not for Republicans? Given that tens of thousands of Iraqis and Americans are dying for this hypocrisy, it merits more than passing notice.

There's no placating a narcissistic sociopath like Bush. You just need to yank the matches out of his hand and take him away from the gasoline he has spilled all over the carpet.

He doesn't need a war-funding bill; he needs an intervention. The Constitution provides for such a contingency. It's called impeachment.

This is not a typical titillating GOP hypocrisy. It's a mortal sin.

Until next week, remember our motto: So many Republican hypocrites, so little time.

Catch up with you soon.
