The author can't remember all the way back to the Bush administration? "Chimpy McBushitler"?
There is no requirement that any American tender respect to one so clearly in contempt for the country, for the office, and for himself. This was a man vaulted into a prominence he had not earned with qualifications he did not have, a man who has methodically torn the country apart racially and is attempting to do so economically as well. This is a two-bit Mussolini awed by his own reflection in the mirror of fawning and sycophantic media, hypnotized by the sound of his own voice parroting the idiot homilies glaring at him from a teleprompter, devoid of accomplishment, executive skills, any intellectual attainment whatever. He is held in justified contempt by his international counterparts, his all-too-loyal political opposition, and his own party. He is arrogant, noisy, self-righteous, immature, and has the verbal acuity of an eight-year-old. He is vicious, hypocritical, filthy and corrupt, an airborne murderer wearing a Nobel Peace Prize, a miserable dilettante whose golf clubs most resemble Nero's lyre, the principal difference between the two being that Nero actually did try to put out Rome in flames where 0bama is throwing gasoline on his. He is vain, narcissistic, possessed of an ego puffed up to Hindenburg dimensions by his emanations of noxious gas. He is the one we've been waiting for if what we've been waiting for is a captain for a careening garbage scow to Hell.
But that doesn't mean I disrespect him.
Wow Well said!
