Late Comments About The "Matinee"

I haven’t commented much on the “president’s” recent press conference. Lots of things about it were just bizarre.

He gave it during “matinee” hours, when people are at work and can’t watch it. His handlers know that he is so offensive to Americans that they can’t allow him to be broadcast during prime time.

He blames the media for Americans’ disapproval of the Iraq war. In the press conference he claims that the reason people are against the war is because it is shown to them on television. His handlers (and maybe even the monkey himself) know that neocon wars are more pleasantly (for them) conducted in secret. And approval ratings don't go down if those being polled are unaware of what's happening.

The guy is simply embarrassing to watch. His facial expressions, mannerisms and posturing are just plain weird. His diction is juvenile and pathetic. And, of course, he lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and…

If I didn’t know it was real, I would swear it was a comedy skit. But it isn’t comedy. It’s tragedy.
