Townsend’s goodbye to Bush: ‚Äö√Ñ√≤You are such a man.’
In 1937, the playwright Maxwell Anderson wrote of President George Washington: There are some men who lift the age they inhabit, til all men walk on higher ground in their lifetime. Mr. President, you are such a man.
Ah, it’s amazing what some people can convince themselves of, isn’t it? How ANYONE can honestly and seriously believe that Our Glorious and Benevolent Leader © is a leader and a statesman is something that I can’t begin to fathom. For some reason, though, Frances Fragos Townsend truly seems to believe that this sorry excuse for a President (and a human being) is a statesman on a par with…oh, I don’t know…Churchill?? Frankly, if The Worst President EVER © walks on “higher ground”, then the bar has been set very, VERY low.
You can debate Townsend’s contributions to the propaganda war war on terror, but it’s her wet, sloppy literary kiss administered to this sorry excuse for a President that will stand out in my memory. An ostensibly capable and intelligent woman, Townsend has revealed herself to be just another willing tool and unrepentant ideologue licking the boots of a President who wouldn’t know the definition of “leader” if someone wrote it in the introduction to My Pet Goat.
Jeebus, perhaps she should just grab a pair of kneepads and get it over with.
