Oh, what are the children to think....

Remember when the conservatives were appalled at Clinton's adulterous behavior, aghast at how this would look to the kids of America? Like Pete Rose betting on baseball, Clinton was thought to be a very poor example to our youth. Well, I ask where are these same voiced concerns when it comes to Bush's apparent inability to be able to speak in coherent sentences? What are our children to think? Why stay in school when you can become the most powerful leader in the world with seemingly very little education at all? Did anyone actually listen to that last press conference? Just take a look at Jacob Weisberg's book, in which he has collected 128 pages worth of "Bushisms" like the following gems:

"The illiteracy level of our children are appalling"; "It's the executive branch's job to interpret law"; "Hispanos," "arbolist," "subliminable," "resignate," "transformationed".....

Read it if you can stand it -- I can't! Beyond the matters of incompetence & ineptitude, I am mainly fed up with Bush due simply to embarrassment.

Thankfully, my kids are too young to know what's going on politically in the country. If they were old enough to ask questions, I'd be too ashamed to explain. This administration is a disgrace and our children are by far worse off attempting to learn anything from this president than the guy before him.
