Austin
Chronicle, TX 6-11-04
…There
are of course even more notorious GOP platform absurdities, including gun
worship, anti-tax dogmatism, "American English," indignant snorts at all
forms of environmentalism, thundering against hate crimes legislation,
declarations that the U.S. is "a Christian nation," and so on…

What Would
Jesus Think?
"We really don't have leaders
who speak as well as Ronald Reagan anymore. He had a simple direct way of
telling you something. Like when he just came out and called the Soviet Union
'the evil empire' you know what he meant. Can you imagine Bush trying to do
that? You know he'd screw it up, he'd say something like 'we have to defeat the
medieval vampire.'" —Jay Leno

W. Bush, and the reason is Blair knows better. Blair is not an idiot. What is he
doing hanging around this guy?"

"According to the New York
Times, last year White House lawyers concluded that President Bush could legally
order interrogators to torture and even kill people in the interest of national
security — so if that's legal, what the hell are we charging Saddam Hussein
with?" —Jay Leno

"We are a
badly damaged state, ruled today by a man who subsists off Reagan's most
corrosive final gift to us all: It is the image that matters, and be damned to
the truth."

"Attorney
General John Ashcroft told Congress they shouldn't be asking him about the
legality of the war until the war is over. And there's precedent for that — I
think it's called the Nuremberg Trials." —Jay Leno

Republican Shenanigans
Why Did the Chicken cross the Road?
Coalition Provisional Authority:
The fact that the Iraqi chicken crossed the road affirmatively demonstrates that
decision-making authority has been transferred to the chicken well in advance of
the scheduled June 30th transition of power. From now on the chicken is
responsible for its own decisions.
Halliburton:
We were asked to help the chicken cross the road. Given the inherent risk of
road crossing and the rarity of chickens, this operation will only cost the US
government $326,004.
Muqtada al-Sadr:
The chicken was a tool of the evil Coalition and will be killed.
US Army Military Police:
We were directed to prepare the chicken to cross the road. As part of these
preparations, individual soldiers ran over the chicken repeatedly and then
plucked the chicken. We deeply regret the occurrence of any chicken rights
violations.
Peshmerga:
The chicken crossed the road, and will continue to cross the road, to show its
independence and to transport the weapons it needs to defend itself. However, in
future, to avoid problems, the chicken will be called a duck, and will wear a
plastic bill.
1st Cav:
The chicken was not authorized to cross the road without displaying two forms of
picture identification. Thus, the chicken was appropriately
detained and searched in accordance with current SOP's. We apologize for any
embarrassment to the chicken. As a result of this unfortunate incident, the
command has instituted a gender sensitivity training program and all future
chicken searches will be conducted by female soldiers.
Al Jazeera:
The chicken was forced to cross the road multiple times at gunpoint by a large
group of occupation soldiers, according to eye-witnesses. The chicken was then
fired upon intentionally, in yet another example of the abuse of innocent Iraqi
chickens.
Blackwater:
We cannot confirm any involvement in the chicken-road-crossing incident.
Translators:
Chicken he cross street because bad she tangle regulation. Future chicken table
against my request.
U.S. Marine Corps:
The chicken is dead

"Ever since
Franklin Roosevelt, the U.S. has built up alliances in order to amplify its own
power," he said. "But now we have alienated many of our closest allies, we have
alienated their populations. We've all been increasingly appalled at how the
relationships that we worked so hard to build up have simply been shattered by
the current administration in the method it has gone about things."
Jack F. Matlock Jr., who was appointed by Reagan as ambassador to the Soviet
Union and retained in the post by President Bush's father during the final years
of the Cold War
