The complete and utter campiness of the Bush Administration

Yes, yes, yes, we all know that President Bush and his administration is completely and utterly incompetent. So incompetent that it's actually pretty funny. So instead of preaching to what is undoubtedly the choir (to not be in the choir you would really have to be pretty dense, and have no concept of Good Taste) I thought I'd just dwell on the campiness of the Bush Administration.

Just think about it: An American city flooded: Thousands stranded, hundreds drowned. What's the campiest thing to do in that situation? Go buy shoes!!!

An unprovoked war against a tiny, ineffectual, country: Hundreds of thousands killed, thousands wounded. Billions of dollars unaccounted for, a botched and bloody occupation. What's the campiest thing to do? Hand out some tacky jewelry to those most responsible.

A horrific terrorist attack on an inconic complex in the heart of the nation's largest city, as well as its capitol. Thousands dead, a nation traumatized and ready to unite in a way that it hasn't been since Pearl Harbor. What's the campiest thing to do? Suggest that we all go shopping!!!

I could go on and on, but it really needs a website of its own. The reason I bring it up now is because this became clear to me just this morning when I saw this - it's a picture of the retirement ceremony for the guy who is taking the fall for the mess at Walter Reed Hospital (you know, where we were warehousing wounded soldiers in a place with holes in the ceiling and mold on the walls, thanks to Bush Administration Privitization)



I mean, just look at that: Chorus boys! Costumes! Draperies! It's like a drag pageant! Put a gown on the guy in the uniform, and a tux on the guy in the suit, and it would be a dead ringer for the Court of San Francisco's coronation!

And people say that the Bush Family has no sense of humor.
