We now continue reflecting on the past eight glorious years of Republican rule...

Don't you find it shocking that Bush waited three or four days to respond to Hurricane Katrina?

Those people should've gotten the hell out of there when they were told! It ain't Bush's fault! That was a local government problem.

But people weren't just told to leave town, they were also told to go to the Superdome and the convention center, and they did, and they were left with no bathrooms and no food after they got there. Also, the levees broke after the hurricane had passed, so people who had left town wound up stuck on a washed-out overpass on their way back into town. They were out there a week in the summer sun with no food and water!

Well, what it is is New Orleans was like a giant toilet and God flushed! Ha ha! Yeah! It's like all those people were pieces of SHIT! Ha ha! Old people drowned in their beds! Ha ha ha ha! People died of dehydration, and a lot of it was preventable! Ha ha ha!

Are we almost done here? It's almost time for Sunday school and I'm a good Christian. Today's lesson is "love thy neighbor."

Hey, have you noticed the explosion in the Mexican population around here? I read Bush is pushing a program to make illegal aliens legal; he calls them "guest workers."

At least Mexicans like to work, unlike a lot of lazy Americans.

Maybe they could work at a seaport. You know Bush wants to turn our port security over to a Saudi Arabian company? Don't you think that's weird, since the majority of the 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia?

Hey, Bill Clinton was for it, too.

Ah, yes, so it MUST be a good idea.

Have you heard Bush also wants to increase the government's ability to read your e-mails and tap your phone calls? He wants to bypass having to get warrants to do that.

Well, we're at war with terrorists, so we have to leave all measures on the table.

Gas was $1.15 where I live until 2004, then for some reason it kept getting more expensive every week until it hit $4 in 2008. Do you think the fact the Bush family made their millions in the oil business, Enron was his largest contributor and he let energy company executives write his energy policy has anything to do with this?

No, it ain't Bush's fault. That's the free market. Why don't people complain when the price of apples goes up a few cents?

If gas goes up $.20 and you have to buy seven gallons, it has actually gone up $1.40, not a few cents, and that's just within a few days.

Speaking of groceries, milk was $2.50 until a little over a year ago. Suddenly it's $4 a gallon. Bread is also now about twice what it used to be. Guess that ain't Bush's fault, either.

I'm not sure where we're at with the deficit now, but I think it's up to the trillions now. We're borrowing money from China to stay in business!

Well, Bush isn't a Republican.

Excuse me?

I said Bush isn't a Republican. He's a Democrap in disguise.

Really? Is that why he's pushing for a $700 billion bailout for Wall Street to head off the second recession of his presidency?

Absolutely. Worst president ever. I voted for him twice, but I won't get fooled again. I sure ain't voting for Obama, though! He's a socialist, a Marxist, a Muslim, a terrorist and the Antichrist! I'm votin' McCain-Palin! USA! USA!
