It's Not Easy Being Right

It’s not easy representing the far right in politics, and it’s doubly so if you make it to the White House and get into serious political trouble.

I listened to President Bush’s second Mission Accomplished speech on the recent Israeli Hezbollah war in Lebanon and couldn’t make any sense of it at first. On one channel, I see poor Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert fighting for his political life over charges that his government had failed the nation by attaining none of its original objectives in Lebanon. Flipping channels, I see Dubya proclaiming that Hezbollah was the ultimate loser in the conflict.

On the way home from the golf course this afternoon, I tuned in to el Rushbo, and he was smashing Ehud and Condy Rice - but not Dubya - for blowing the war with Hezbollah. Ehud is weak, indecisive, spineless, and I don’t know how many kinds of stupid. Condy is such a disappointment to Rush that I can’t even begin to explain. The great man was explaining to his intellectually heavyweight audience exactly how the war on terror should be fought, and let me tell you it’s not the way those namby pambies Ehud and Condy are doing it. You’ve got to make an example of these terrorists and wipe them out to a man – everywhere.

Thinking back to poor Dubya; it was easy to see that all he was doing was feeding the wild beasts on his right. Tough job the presidency when things aren’t going the way your base thinks it ought to be. Hang in, George, only two and a half years and you’ll be back on the ranch without having to ever wear a suit again.

Are all of you folks out there running for president sure that you want the job? I bet George would rather be running a baseball club right now.

Whatever!
