Dumb show

Charlie Brooker Saturday October 23, 2004 The Guardian

Heady times. The US election draws ever nearer, and while the rest of the world bangs its head against the floorboards screaming “Please God, not Bush!”, the candidates clash head to head in a series of live televised debates. It’s a bit like American Idol, but with terrifying global ramifications. You’ve got to laugh. .........................

On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod’s law dictates he’ll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr – where are you now that we need you?

Now theGuardian is hysterically spewing accusation against Trump.

[realcleanguy]

But that’s ok. LW radicals call for the assassinations of Republicans every day. Because that’s who they are. Haters

[combat_boots]

Yes.

This includes suggestions on Trump, too.

[Baldwin77]

Didn’t the left make a movie out of a Bush assassination plot?

[tophat9000]

Yeah what about that Bush gets assassinated movie the left did also

[TBP]

Yes, but that’s OK. It’s Bush, after all.
