The Conservative Cult 101

“I think (President Bush) has lost his bearings. but then, so did Moses from time to time, it s quite understandable.”

You see, Bush has suffered among the conservative cult. He’s no longer God or Jesus… just Moses.

    Your best — or worst, depending on your point of view — cherry picking, ever, Oliver.
    Ever.

    cherry picking…

    …in an orchard of delusional, Bush-worshipping wingnuts.

     I think (President Bush) has lost his bearings. And so did Hitler from time to time, it s quite alarming.

    I’m sure the metaphor police will have no problem with this one either.

    That chick has some serious Kathy Bates vibes from her role in “Misery.”
    I hope the President doesn’t get into a car accident near her house.

    Bush is just waiting for further instructions from God apparently.

    If you can stand reading the rest of that post, you find that Bush is not only Moses, but a hell of a tosser. Actually, that’s true.

    When the World Series opened in New York City and the President was invited to throw the first pitch, there was no surprise in his throwing (while wearing body armor) a perfect strike.

    I’m sure he can throw a perfect strike just like he speaks perfect Spanish, can land a figher jet on the deck of an aircraft carrier, reads the Nicomachean Ethics for relaxation and does all the other things his worshippers says he does. Not only that, his new clothes are invisible.

    To be fair, the metaphor, as used by whoever actually said it, depends on Bush not being anywhere near Moses.

    But still. Fuck that noise.

    Boy what a barf-o-rama that anchoress post is, including the pix. I’m surprised she left out the one where he appears to possess a halo because the photog carefully lined his head up with a seal in the background.
    Of course she’d never use the dress picture, even though it’s patriotic.

    Moses also was a crappy public speaker, and had a much slicker brother. Not like our W!

    All I’ll say is this — if a Democrat was in the kind of political trouble that Bush is in right now, the New York Times would be running the kind of story that ‘Anchoress’ wrote at least once a month. And on their front page. Anything to get those approval ratings back over 50%.

    Seems to me that Clinton in ’93-’94 and ’98 had lots of political trouble. Care to point me to the NY Times articles engaging in Clinton worship during that time?

    Just one cite of the NY Times comparing Clinton to Moses. I’d even settle for an apostle. Other than Judas, that is.
