Flash of insight

A friend made a comment and it struck me.

George Bush is Crazy Eddie.

Not a familiar reference. On the other hand, I will stick to my insight of some months back: Bush is Otto, from A Fish Called Wanda. Seldom outside of fiction is so much cluelessness combined with such burning certainty. (And a total inability to apologize, or admit error.)

Bush is Otto

That hadn't occurred to me, but now that you mention it...

"We will call him Crazy Eddie, if you like. He is a . . . he is like me, sometimes, and he is a Brown, an idiot savant tinker, sometimes. Always he does the wrong things for excellent reasons. He does the same things over and over and over, and they always bring disaster, and he never learns." - The Mote in God's Eye, Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle

I was afraid of that. Mote in God's Eye" Crazy Eddie is the motie who gets irrational ideas, which sound good; but can't work.

The ideas are meant to save civilization, and destroy it instead.

Oh, I meant Crazy Eddie the appliance salesman from NYC. You know, the one that Dan Ackroyd used to imitate on the Old Timey version.

Another insight from another friend's LJ: Bush is Thomas Covenant. Whiny, self-involved, prone to fits of self-pity when others around him suffer far more, and totally, completely, monomaniacally committed to the reality in his head over all the evidence of his senses, and the facts...

Dubya? Yeah, sure!

I think he's acting more like "Bagdad Bob"....

Keep up the propaganda, George Dubya, while our military are wounded or killed and you and the Cheney monster/man hide in your underground shelters. Old Man Bush couldn't take Iraq and Dubya is trying to clear the family man and make their mark in history books. I don't know how Americans can't see though the bullshit. This war in Iraw has nothing to do with terrorism and everything to do with pride, power and greed.

typo...

Sorry..I'm getting too riled up over this...and can't even type about it, no less mention it.

I meant to say, "Why can't Americans see THROUGH THIS BULLSHIT..
