Let’s Give "W" Some Tough Love
By: Dr. Gary S. Goodman
You know that George W. Bush who so heroically buttressed the nation after the 9-11 attacks:
We loved that guy, didn’t we?
And the George W. Bush who emerged from that “Top Gun” fighter jet on the deck of that aircraft carrier, you know the one.
We loved that guy, didn’t we?
So, where is our love now that his ratings have sunk below those of LBJ, Nixon, and all of his unpopular predecessors?
I think it’s time to embrace this guy and to give him the kind of tough love that he and his ilk dispense to badly behaving teens. Like good parents, we have to clearly but firmly tell him:
George, we love you a bunch, but we just can’t abide your BEHAVIOR!
Wiretaps? Phone logs? Whatever were you thinking?
Yes, that bad, bad boy, Saddam kicked your Dad’s butt AFTER Desert Storm by impolitely making his regime last longer than Papa’s, but that’s no reason to seek vengeance.
Vengeance is reserved for WHOM?
That’s right, little one. NOT for you!
And by the way, we’re concerned about those friends you’ve surrounded yourself with.
Dickie Cheney seems like a bully boy. And that Donnie Rumsfeld is a sourpuss, and we think they’re influencing your judgment, for the worse.
So, straighten up, young man, and there just may be a place for you when all of this is settled in the family business—but no promises.
And by the way, that sweet and sensible bride of yours is the best thing that ever happened to you!
