Our So-called Leader

I thought I'd quick share a couple of links concerning W. They are interrelated Rolling Stone articles. I think only staunch Bush supporters would read either one of these as anything but straight forward. If you do support W, then you should already know all this stuff. I know I knew most of it, but then again unlike most voters I actually do my homework on my choices, I don't just go by the "debates" (what a joke that they still call them that), commercial spots and sound bites. If you happen to stumble on this post, all I ask is that you read them and if you find them hard to swallow, do a little digging. You'll find that most of it is public knowledge, but W and his cronies and ... ahem... business partners have a way of burying all the less than favorable facts while they exploit religious end-of-the-world fervor and actually got this playboy nepotist opportunist up on a platform of moral strength and good versus evil. Neat trick. Well ya gotta do what you gotta do when you've got a country to tear apart.

The first article is from April of 2006. George has only kept us on our path to self destruction ever since.

The second is referred to in the first. Rolling Stone can't help but say "we told you so!" They flash back to their 1999 article which drew a scary portrait of the man who would be president. If you actually knew everything in this article and still voted for Bush, you are truly confused. If you didn't know all this about Bush and you voted for him, you dropped the ball my friend--you should have found out at least as cursory a biography as this before you helped put a man into the formerly most powerful seat in the world.

Do I usually get my information from Rolling Stone? Not really, but information is information and much of this stuff I watched happen or read about before. They just reminded me. Do you remember too?
