Stunned Silence

I'm truly speechless . . .

President Bush said the public's decision to reelect him was a ratification of his approach toward Iraq and that there was no reason to hold any administration officials accountable for mistakes or misjudgments in prewar planning or managing the violent aftermath.

"We had an accountability moment, and that's called the 2004 elections," Bush said in an interview with The Washington Post. "The American people listened to different assessments made about what was taking place in Iraq, and they looked at the two candidates, and chose me."

Then there's this brilliant display of oratorical fireworks . . .

"By providing security, hopefully that will provide comfort to people who are coming from all around the country to come and stay in the hotels in Washington and to be able to watch the different festivities in Washington, and eat the food in Washington," Bush said.

It's entirely possible that I will need to be intoxicated for the next 4 years so that I don't end up in a padded cell mumbling incoherently about how this moronic monkey could have possibly been re-elected. Or maybe I'll turn into Rain Woman (just without that whole mathematical genius bit) and walk around saying, "I'm an excellent driver . . . an excellent driver."

I cannot believe what has taken place in this country. It is truly heartbreaking.
