Mark Morford: Be Thankful You're Not Dubya (because then I'd be lusting after YOU)

San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Wednesday, November 26, 2003 | Mark Morford; Not Much To Be Thankful For

[presidio9]

This Thanksgiving, as you sip the wine and hug the family and toast the friends and hoard the stuffing and curse the airport security, remember to give thanks you are not G.W. Bush. Hey, it's important.

1) Be thankful that you do not have to suffer Dubya's massive crushing karmic burden, as wrought by inflicting heaps of environmental disaster and vicious unnecessary war and a stunning string of lies lies lies like a firehose of giblet gravy splattered all over the planet.

[spodefly]

You forgot the total unadulterated bull$hit alert.

He plainly told you it was a Mark Morford column.

[LurkedLongEnough]

But the divine, personal gravy is where the real flavor is.

Divine personal gravy. There's three words that should never be juxtaposed in a decent world.

[mountaineer]

the 200,000 Bush/war protesters in London, just last week

Or some fraction thereof, but Miss Morford doesn't worry her pretty little head with facts.

Hey Mark, you pathetic sack of goo, you'll never have a man like this, even in your wildest dreams:

This is more like what the lovesick Miss Morford goes home with at the end of the day:

[Tom Bombadil]

G.W. Bush is one of the most reviled and openly disrespected major world leaders

Not in fly over country........Only in places like downtown SF.

Nowhere in this guy's rant did he even make sense, everyone on Freerepublic, who reads this will now be a little dumber for it. This guy scored no political point and may God have mercy on his soul!!! ;~)

With all due respect, why do you keep posting such trash here ?

Just yesterday you posted:

Murdered G.I.s may have died for a lie
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1028862/posts

now today the article which started the current thread.

Both of these are appropriate for DU.

I understand the excuse, that "we need to know what the opposition is saying" -- but with that reasoning, we could post all the trash that is posted at DU, antiwar.com and a zillion trashy anti-everything sites. Anyone who wants to know what the opposition can just read them there, can't they?

I personally don't see why do we need to keep giving additional publicity to such articles.

But that is just my personal opinion, of course.

[CyberCowboy777]

This bird is done.

[RogueIsland]

Any time I see any variation of the word "karma" in an article, I know I can stop right there.

[KellyAdmirer]

LOL, he really doesn't show any lies, does he? Pretty much the only two attempts at factual statements in this hit piece - that President Bush's ratings are "lower than a SUV's mpg" and that there were "200,000" protestors in England last week - are themselves lies. So, I don't think he is a stunningly good judge of lies from anyone.

[Sir Gawain]

What a flaming fag.

AIDS dementia isn't pretty, is it?

[GreenLanternCorps]

Mulitiorgasmic??? I don't think I've ever heard the United States described like THAT before.


This dude is just plain weird.

[tbpiper]

Bush is one of the most reviled and openly disrespected major world leaders in modern history.

Probably right, but it's by people who really don't count anyway.

[ZOTnot]

Mountaineer,

Too funny!

[.cnI redruM]

Don't ask me, I'm not Mark Morford. For that, I'm thankful every day of the year.

Fron Frederick Forsyth's open letter to George Bush:

"You will find yourself assailed on every hand by some pretty pretentious characters collectively known as the British left. They traditionally believe they have a monopoly on morality and that your recent actions preclude you from the club. You opposed and destroyed the world's most blood-encrusted dictator. This is quite unforgivable.

I beg you to take no notice. The British left intermittently erupts like a pustule upon the buttock of a rather good country. Seventy years ago it opposed mobilisation against Adolf Hitler and worshipped the other genocide, Josef Stalin.

It has marched for Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Khrushchev, Brezhnev and Andropov. It has slobbered over Ceausescu and Mugabe. It has demonstrated against everything and everyone American for a century. Broadly speaking, it hates your country first, mine second."

Substitute "American Left" for "British Left" and you have it cold.

[KellyAdmirer]

I really liked that letter, the man certainly has a way with words. :)

Here, let me correct this incomplete text:

For it really is all too plain: G.W. Bush is one of the most reviled and openly disrespected major world leaders in modern history by faggots like me, Mark 'mo Rford. That is because Faggots like me, Mark 'mo Rford, have never been so embarrassed and reluctant to send a president abroad. Faggots like me, Mark 'mo Rford, cringe when the man takes the stage. Faggots like me, Mark 'mo Rford, offer humiliated apologies to our former allies, and to the 200,000 Bush/war protesters in London, just last week.
