Bush Ignores America's Poor and Distressed, as Gas Prices Soar, Lack of Leadership Kills
by Gerhard Kauldtaup Friday, Sep. 02, 2005 at 1:24 PM

As President Bush's 100th vacation was rudely interupted by the needs of his subserviant and disenfranchised citizens, suffering from an abject lack of leadership and response to the worst natural disaster to hit this country, Oil Company executives and Dick Cheney were giving high fives to the prospect of enduring fuel shortages and higher gas prices. The illegal War For Bush's Oil could not have done so much for corporate America. Even Bill Clinton must be happy at the opportunites presented for his wife's fundraising efforts. Let's not forget the opportunities to rollback environmental regulation to build more polluting refineries and to suspend pro-labor contracting laws. Even now, Bush the Emperor surveys his servants from the luxury of his fuel guzzling tax-payer owned and funded 747 flying circles over the desperate and dying. Republicans say "let them be" and turn their backs to the prospect of rebuilding their homes and city. First we destroy Iraq, now we can begin the destruction at home, or at least allow it to continue as The Emperor ignores all scientific evidence and thumbs his pointy nose at the real and imminent threat of Global Warming. This is the Night Before The Emperor's Fall !!

Twas three days after Katina and all through ranch, The first family was loungin’ under a shady tree branch.

The twins had been packin’ to head off to school, Like Paris and Nikki – they too, are so cool.

With Laura just smilin’ and him in his hat, They had just settled down for their 351st vacation day nap.

When on the TV there came such a noise,
That the First Dude soon was puttin’ away his brush clearin’ toys.

The news was disturbin’ and so mentally rackin’, That BushyBoy knew that his ass must be packin’

The dead and the dying were surely a site, That he’d have to head for DC before the fall of the night.

More bowlegged than John Wayne he arrogantly strode, To Air Force one – the steel steed that he rode.

“Now get me the BushyBoyz and me them quick, For I can’t think a lick without my mentor - Big Dick.”

“Call Rums-failed, call Cheney, call Condie to start up the spin, And bring in ol’ Clinton to placate the Dems and we surely will win.”

And in taxpayer luxury he started to fly, To survey the Gulf Coast from unparalleled comfort way up in the sky.

After seeing the devastation below and out yonder, He called for a scribe as his mind continued to wander.

“Tell the people below it won’t much longer, and we’ll rebuild their towns and they’ ll be so much stronger.”

Afterall, Marie Antoinette said ‘let them eat cake’, I say “Let them eat all the Ho-Hos and Twinkies those poor folks can take’.”

We’ll send ‘em $10 billion - which of course is a crock, Afterall that’s only a few weeks of budget for the War in Iraq.

Let the bleeding hearts and taxpayers pick up rest, For we still have many more wars for our army to test.


“And tell Cheney to write-up another new batch, Of Halliburton no-bid construction contracts.”

And putting a finger up inside of his nose, He turned to Condie and said “This really blows”.

“My term is near over and I’ve already been martyred, and now comes this shit and now I’ll have to restart it.”

“This pisses me off – oh, why’d this happen to me, Now it fucks up my place in presidential history.”

“Damn those poor whites and uppity blacks, Why couldn’t they walk out with just the clothes on their backs.”

“’Feed me’ they whine – oh get a life guys, Can’t you see we have at least a handful of choppers workin’ the skys.”

“And Billy Oh’Really – and my guys at Faux News, Have the teams of crack troops searchin’ for just two women - BooHoo.”

“Oh dear lord please cut me a damn break, Or another year of vacation I’ll be soon forced to take.”

And when the masses awake from their KoolAid induced Hell They will not vote for Bushes or Republicans, as well.”

So dear friends the end is in reach,
Because after this the shrub we’ll impeach!
