Dubya Did It

Every so often, when I am looking for a chuckle, I surf on over to the BlameBush! blog. Here's the author's satirical take on the London terrorist attack.
But now is not the time for pointing fingers. In the wake of 9/11, progressives waited a good three minutes before blaming Bush, America, and Western Civilization in general, and we should be every bit as reverent now. Let the people of Great Britain mourn their fallen bretheren in peace. There will be plenty of time to exploit their grief for political gain in the weeks ahead. I'm just as anxious to hear who the 7/7 Widows will endorse for New York Senator as you are, but let's practice a little bit of decorum, shall we?

Without resorting to prayer, let us have a moment of silence and quiet reflection in honor of those who lost their lives today. Perhaps when the dust settles, England can turn to France for guidance through these dark times, as they have for centuries. As Americans, we must be ever vigilant, and work together to protect our own country from extremist right-wing judges who seek to overturn Roe v. Wade and deny a woman her right to choose. But until we repeal Bush's tax cuts for the wealthiest 1% of Americans, none of us will be truly safe again.
