<p>Bush is the master of the art of ********ting. Has anyone here seen ‘George W. Bush: Fight to the Finish’? It’s a program they sometimes rerun on FOX News. A true work of art. You should see the tangents that he and Laura run off with, it’s clearly very well-planned.</p>
<p>Picture George, sleeves 3/4s rolled up, standing in a desert at sundown with the reporter and Laura. They’ve just transitioned from a screen showing George in Montana, horseback riding any ethic-looking global leader.</p>
<p>The topic up for discussion is international policy. Now, neither of these three Southern folk are too succinct or concise, but that just adds to the down-home appeal. In fact, not only does it add appeal, it allows for some serious carefully worded nonsense. These are the big dogs in ********ting. </p>
<p>They’ll go on and on about some strand of disease in Sudan, not really getting at much of anything, then they’ll talk about the Middle East, at which point, George will point out his true feelings regarding the Muslim people–</p>
<p>“We’re going to eradicate radical Islam and remake the Muslim world.”</p>
<p>It sounds bad out of context, but when you heard that soft, drawling Southern voice say it so eloquently while standing on the sand in the desert, it sounded like the perfect device to reinvigorate ‘Us versus Them’ mentality in the American people! I was actually able to use a very similar technique in an essay I had to write about patriotism.</p>
<p>You see, George W. Bush is actually a very clever guy. “Our children is learning,” “Sunnis and Shiites? I thought there were muslims in Iraq,” “I can press when there needs to be pressed; I can hold hands when there needs to be – hold hands,” et al. None of these mistakes happen on accident. He’s an approachable character–the facade as a regular Southern man keeps his poll ratings above 20%.</p>
