PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES PUTS OUT A THOUGHTFUL AND ARTICULATE STATEMENT ON A MAJOR WORLD EVENT FOR A CHANGE

FITSNews - December 30, 2006 - The worst thing about a major world event occuring is that Shrub (a.k.a. President George W. Bush) usually puts out a statement giving his opinion about whatever it was that happened.

And Shrub’s statements usually suck - more often than not because they are a) totally wrong, b) strangely similar to what you’d hear during ~~snakehandling~~ revival week at a Free Will Baptist church, or c) completely drunk on alliteration (”the present progress of peace and purpose is presaged by the persistence and pervasiveness of our powerful and proper presence”).

A lot of times, they suck for all three reasons.

In fact, every time Shrub opens his mouth we can practically hear the English language becoming indignant, almost like it’s prepping for Meredith Baxter Birney’s role in a made-for-television Lifetime movie about a woman who’s had enough.

That’s why we were so amazed to read the Presidential words coming out of Shrub’s Crawford, Texas ranch in response to the hanging of former Iraqi dictator (and former living person) Saddam Hussein.

Not only were the President’s comments reflective of the grim reality that has settled in over the land Saddam murderously ruled for decades, but they placed his demise in its proper context, refrained from Cowboy gloating and (amazingly) sounded wise and Presidential for a change.

“Bringing Saddam Hussein to justice will not end the violence in Iraq, but it is an important milestone on Iraq’s course to becoming a democracy that can govern, sustain, and defend itself,” Bush’s statement said, adding that it “comes at the end of a difficult year for the Iraqi people and for our troops.”

Color us impressed with the Shrub today.
