Something is rotten in Washington and in the media (as if we didn&#8217;t know already). In the past year, we&#8217;ve seen Dubya re-emerge into the public spotlight as an &#8216;enlightened&#8217; artist, polls that indicate that people are starting to view the Bush presidency favorably, and even that more Republicans in Louisiana are blaming Obama for the sad response to Hurricane Katrina (<a title=\"Some Elephants Do Forget\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/?p=2788\" target=\"_blank\">see previous post<\/a>), even though it was three and half years before he took office. Not only that, whistleblower Bradley\/Chelsea Manning is a criminal for exposing government lies and the Bush Administration is getting a free pass for lying to the public and getting us involved in the clusterf*ck known as the Iraq War. The next thing you know, the Obama Administration will want to go to war with another country in the Middle East because, based on intelligence, they may have weapons of mass destruction. Oh&#8230;.right&#8230;.Syria. Didn&#8217;t we do this crap already and it ended badly for us? Like a trillion dollars in the hole, bad. Oh well, chalk up another win for the military-industrial complex. War is just good business!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2900\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2900\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/?attachment_id=2900\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2900\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2900\" title=\"obamadojbushadministration\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/obamadojbushadministration.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/obamadojbushadministration.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/obamadojbushadministration-300x193.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2900\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">President Obama shows his unrequited love for the Bush Administration.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another one from the &#8220;You&#8217;ve Got to be Kidding&#8221; file.
