(couldn't be because George Bush has been the "Let me ruin the environment"
 president.  After all, look at how quickly the darling of the Republican
 party, Willam T. Weld, has moved to clean up that Boston Harbor thing caused
 single-handedly by Mikey the Greek)  <--- is that sarcastic enough for you?

(Which is much worse than lobbying to cut the same programs to the bone, in
 effect saying "let them starve until their deadbeat fathers are brought to
 justice"  Kinder and Gentler Indeed!)

(Nice of George to do for the whole country what Shorty did for Mass, traveling
 all over, meddling ineffectively in foreign affairs, while the US economy
 went further into the tank.  He sure told those Japanese a thing or two!
 And he saved the Kurds and the Bosnians and the Baltic states too.)

 Who says George is totally incompetent but lucky?
  (actually, we are the lucky ones. We're lucky the hard-liners aren't in power
   in the XUSSR as a result of his inaction.
   Bush has done nothing worthwhile in foreign affairs except
   talk about a "new world order" -- a sensitively chosen phrase, yes? George
   stood by with his finger in a convenient orifice while Germany re-united,
   Gorby almost got fried, Yeltsin became a hero, Ortega lost an election,
   Marge Thatcher resigned, European communism fell, Yugoslavia self-immolated,
   etc.
   What did George do? Can you repeat "Let's not be hasty?" a few dozen times?)
 Who says that Mr Veto has an economic plan that even his own party won't
 fall for?
 Who says that picking Dan Quayle for VP was, contrary to popular opinion,
 the high point of his decision making?
 Who says that the S&L bailout wasn't for the good of the little guy?
 Who says that Bush was wrong when he said "There's no recession."
 Who says that Rodney King didn't get justice?
 Who says that Georgie used our money to bankroll Saddam, and then used our
 money (and our lives) to seek revenge when Saddam stopped kissing his ass?
 Who says he's willing to sell the country out to get re-elected by making
 the only pseudo-effective appointee in the administration (Baker) into
 campaign chairman, leaving a void at Sec. of State?

 Not me!

We'd be better off electing Harry Truman's dead body than George Bush's live
one.

Let's hope that we were educated enough so that we don't need to repeat the
