Bird poop as political commentary

"Bird Sh*ts on Bush During Press Conference"
 
From abc.com:
"As President Bush took a question Thursday in the White House Rose Garden about scandals involving his Attorney General, he remarked, "I've got confidence in Al Gonzales doin' the job."
 
Simultaneously, a sparrow flew overhead and left a splash on the President's sleeve, which Bush tried several times to wipe off."
 
Yep, it was timed so perfectly .. just as he said, "I've got confidence in Al ..."
 
And even though Bush looked us in the eye yesterday in the Rose Garden and said, "the majority of the American people support continuing to finance this war...", a new poll reported opposition to the war was at an all time high.
 
Six in 10 Americans say we should have stayed out of Iraq. More than three in four say things are going badly there -- including nearly half who say things are going very badly .. according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

Fox News says dang near the same thing:

And yet Congress decides to fund it. With $300 billion already down a rat hole, they give him another $120 billion in the pipeline.
 
"Only 14% of Americans 'strongly' approve of Bush."
 
Those would be the "some of the people you can fool all of the time" bunch.
 
You know, as we fund Bush's war, it's a pretty good bet that Al Qaida will end up with some of that money -- look at all the corruption and lost funds connected with the 126,000 private military contractors we have in Iraq.
 
Oh BTW, Bush now loves The Iraqi Study Group .. says they "recommended that we hold the Iraqi government to the series of benchmarks for improved security, political reconciliation and governance that the Iraqis have set for themselves. I agree, so does the Congress, and the bill reflects that recommendation."
 
We all remember his less than enthusiastic response when first presented with the bi-partisan study .. mentally he tossed it over his shoulder. See, when you believe in an interventionist god, it liberates you from tough decisions .....
 
I have little doubt that Bush wants to keep us in Iraq, one way of the other, until he is safely out of office .. it will be interesting to see the GOP try to cut him off at the pass.
 
I didn't like the "consequences of failure in Iraq" scare tactics in his speech .. telling reporters that the terrorists are a threat to their children .. dragging out that tired puppy dog theory -- "if we leave, they'll follow us home."
 
That's strange .. most of Al Qaeda is scattered around the world, not just in Iraq .. they could hit us any time they want.
 
Bush told the reporters, twice, that if we leave Iraq before "victory," Al Qaeda will come to America and kill our children. He then said that if the Iraqi government asked us to leave today, we'd leave. He repeated that answer, twice.
 
Huh? Does he even know what the word 'contradiction' means?
 
Fear mongering is all he's got left to justify the death and destruction he's responsible for. He is in so far over his head it isn't even funny.
 
No wonder a bird shat upon him.
 
I heard of a new book out .. about how a country got lied into a stupid war, it's called...
