Georgy Boy

By Eric SchmeltzerEven though I'm a bleeding heart liberal and ardent Clinton defender, I like George W. Bush. What's not to like about "W?" His policy and record in Texas? Maybe. The fact that he was a rich playboy with no real goal in life until he realized that his dad could get him some nifty jobs? Perhaps. Despite all of this, I still smile when I see Junior Bush on the TV, or read about him in the paper. Shoot, I may even vote for the guy.
Why?
I think it is the same reason that I am a huge fan of Chris Farley of Saturday Night Live fame. It could be the worst of days, but if I see "Matt Foley: Inspirational Speaker" or Farley dressed up as one of the Gap Girls, I feel better. And I like to feel better.
And nothing makes me feel better than watching a coked-up buffoon make a total jackass out of himself. Maybe that's why I like politics' own "Tommy Boy," George W. Bush.
Is it fair of me to call our man W a coke-head? Shoot, you tell me! George hasn't snorted nose candy in either the past 7 years, or 25 years, or 20 to 30 years, or won't say, depending on what day of the week it is. If you think Bill Clinton is slick for saying he "didn't inhale," George Bush has got to be lubed up with Crisco and Vaseline. . . . . MORE
