And the Republicans in the administration don't seem to have one intact testicle among the lot of them. They're good at sending other people off to fight, but with only a couple of exceptions (out of dozens of senior positions) NONE of them ever served in the military themselves. Chickenhawks the whole lot of them, with Bush the biggest motherclucker of the lot. The good thing about the whole Cindy Sheehan saga is that it's pointing out the abject cowardice of George W. Bush. If he had just agreed to meet with her privately, this whole thing would have been over in a flash. They could have had the meeting behind closed doors, and could have put any spin on it they wanted. Instead, George did his usual thing and ran for cover when faced with the possibility of being in the same room with someone who doesn't agree with him. Now he's hosed, because the only way to make her go away IS to meet with her, and on camera. And George really, really, really doesn't do well on camera when talking to someone who hasn't been intimidated into sticking to the script. For those who are interested, here's a *remarkable* interview with George Dubya. An Irish journalist named Carole Coleman did nothing more sinister than ask Bush a couple of tough questions. He reacted on camera by losing his cool, getting red-faced angry, and then reacted afterwards by lodging a formal protest with the Irish embassy and trying to get the reporter fired from her job. http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi? file=/gate/archive/2004/07/01/worldviews.DTL The video clip on that page doesn't seem to work any more, which is a crying shame because in it you get to see what the President of the United States is really like. He's a coward who, like many cowards, turns into a bully when someone asks him a direct, unscripted question. Bottom line is that the man is TERRIFIED of dealing with people who hasn't been programmed to say the "right" things and ask the "right" questions. He's systematically eliminated anyone in his government who *doesn't* abide by the script, and has intimidated the media such that most of them follow the script as well. As far as I can tell intuitively, this isn't just a political thang, it's a real phobia. He has a near- pyschotic inability to deal face-to-face with some- one who isn't a Yes-man. Cindy's fucking with this, big-time, both in the media and by pushing his phobia buttons. Good for her. ------------------------ Yahoo!
