Bush improves gravitas
Froomkin is being a little harsh when he takes Bush to task for playing grabass with volleyball players while Russia launches a furious assault on Georgia:
So where was Bush as Russia launched a major military attack against Georgia? Monkeying around with the U.S. women’s volleyball players — and otherwise amusing himself at the Beijing Olympics.
This is not to suggest that Bush should have sent in the Marines. But his impotence in the face of such a gravely destabilizing move highlights not only his personal loss of stature, but how deeply he has diminished American authority on the world stage generally and, particularly, in the eyes of Russia.
While I on the other hand, after nearly 8 years of this shit, am just grateful that Bush isn’t looking like a total fuckstick playing air guitar:
Or like an imbecilic total douchebag heavily into Cosplay with his good friend, Vlad Putin.
At this point we have to take our blessings where we find them.
I mean if we can’t expect him to pay attention and act serious when one of our nation’s largest cities is literally underwater and several states are devastated, why should we expect him to even pretend he gives a flying fuck when some former Soviet republic gets squished like a bug?
Buhsides…heh heh…she war warin a beekeenee!
[...] a few days of playing grabass with volleyball players and holding flags the wrong way at the Olympics, Bush pulls his head out [...]
