A Bush By Any Other Name Is Still A Pussy

Serving with distinctitude.

Just in case you haven't been keeping score, it seems that the President has no shame.

The first batch of official GWB campaign spots - set to be unveiled today - employ images from the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center.

[see the spots here]

It's one thing for him to bring up 9/11 in almost every speech he does, it's another thing entirely to use the images of those horrible moments for his own political exploitation. How cowardly and pathetic that he's already resorting to this kind of bullshit 8 months ahead of the election when he's trailing in the polls. One can only wonder with dread what depths will be plunged to during the Republican Convention -- during which we'll see the third anniversary of that horrible day -- if he still needs a boost in the polls.

Finally, A Politician With Cojones

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said he is "fine" with gay marriages of the sort that are currently being performed in San Francisco... as long as the voters and courts formally approve of it, the Governor revealed last night on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Arnold's proclaimation comes on the heels of President Bush's biggoted and bible-centric proposal last week that an amendment banning same-sex marriages be added to the contstitution.

I give a free pass to the many lower-level officials who wish to enforce existing laws... such is their job. However, most upper-level officials in Washington who are opposing gay marriage will eventually be regarded in the same way that we look back on segregationists of the early 20th century. It's your duty to ensure that all Americans have the same rights, Mr. President, not to legislate morality.
