Shhhhh!

Mr. President, could you please stop talking--preferably for the rest of my life. Devout people often take vows of silence, George. Please be one of them. I'm so tired of you, and if I have to suffer with you and your miserable cronies in office for the rest of my life, it would make things so much easier if you plundred the treasury, misspent our youth, slaughtered the innocent, ignored the guilty, and otherwise carried on cranky quietly.

The people at the TPM Cafe were kind enough to provide us with a transcript of Bush's remarks tonight. If you must read it out loud, do so at a whisper, please. Some of us are trying really hard to tune him out:

“Global war on terror, September the 11th, 2001, terrorists, terrorists , totalitarian ideology , freedom, tyranny, oppression, terror, kill, terrorists, September the 11th, freedom, enemy , war, terrorists, kill, murderous ideology , terrorism, terrorists, free nation, war on terror, freedom, violence and instability, dangerous, violence, bloodshed, violence, sacrifice , war on terror, violence, killers, freedom, criminal elements, hateful ideology, freedom, liberty, democracy, terrorists, war on terror, terrorists, Osama Bin Laden, murder and destruction, enemy, terrorists, car bombs, enemy, terrorists, suicide bomber, enemy, terrorists, violence, terrorists, terrorists, terrorists , freedom, enemies, September the 11th, Bin Laden, enemy , free, tyranny, terrorists, anti-terrorist, free, al Qaeda, free nation, terrorists, terrorists, enemy security terrorists, anti-terrorist terrorists, terror, enemy, tyranny , enemies, freedom, freedom, ideologies of murder, atrocity, September the 11th 2001, car bombers and assassins, freedom, freedom, flying the flag, freedom, freedom, September the 11th 2001, enemies”.

Dammit. I said read it quietly!
