Bush goes to Baghdad

[Chewbaccus]

I was flipping around the television on Thursday when I caught it. I remarked to myself "Huh. Nice one. Well done." and moved on. Now, given my feelings towards the man, that's saying something.

Fast forward to Friday, where I'm again trolling the news channels, and I stop short on one particular story. Apparently, Hillary Clinton had a visit to Iraq scheduled for Friday, an event that naturally would be well-known inside political circles, or if not, then available to any who desired such knowledge.

I saw that and immediately thought "You know, I don't like the man. I don't like his political ideology, I don't like his agenda, I don't like the fact that he looks like a monkey. But damned if I won't give credit where it's due. That was a slick-ass move." Hell, I gave the news to my mother, who is as sweetly naive as they come. And politically, she sounds like she rolled off the turnip truck a few weeks ago, (rather than day before yesterday, I'm happy to report. I've rubbed off on her.) and SHE understood the significance of what Bush did.

Like you said, UT, it was very Bubba-esque. Koko has good advisors, what can I say? And syc, though it appears the Year Zero curse has been lifted, I don't think Bush felt like pushing it.
