Amen, Brother Aravosis
From Dear Leader just this morning, via the WaPo:
President Bush today strongly denounced a federal judge's ruling that a warrantless surveillance program he authorized is unconstitutional, saying the program is a necessary tool in counterterrorism efforts and expressing confidence that the decision would be overturned on appeal.John Aravosis, lead blogger over at AmericaBlog, has had it:
Speaking to reporters at the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland, Bush said that "those who herald this decision simply do not understand the nature of the world in which we live." He cited the disruption in London last week of an alleged terrorist plot to blow up as many as 10 U.S.-bound airliners over the Atlantic using liquid explosives.
"This country of ours is at war," Bush said. "And we must give those whose responsibility it is to protect the United States the tools necessary to protect this country in a time of war."
I've had it with this idiot.[PS] In response to my posting Mr. Aravosis' rant, FOTF Jeff Carlson starting imagining Dear Leader in shackles before a court in Geneva. I fantasize about The Hague, but really, that's splitting hairs. Anyhoo, since neither fantasies are going to become reality, he decided to do a little Photoshop work to blow off steam.
We've got the president of the fucking United States of America lecturing a US court of law that it's supposed to reach decisions NOT based on the rule of law, but on "the nature of the world we live in."

You have the nerve to claim Osama and the terrorists hate our democracy? They got nothing on you and your fellow "Republicans." Do you people even believe in freedom? Do you believe in the Bill of Rights? Do you believe in our Constitution? Do you fucking believe in anything other than your absolute power to do whatever the fuck you want like some two-bit communist dictator rather than the president of the greatest country on earth?
We live in a democracy, you incompetent ass - one that is quickly eroding because half the people of this country elected a moron to the presidency (twice) and now are so embarrassed by their vote that they refuse to stand up and demand an end to your idiotic reign of terror.
These are judges you're demeaning. American jurists. The people in charge of our laws. And you speak of them like they're nothing more than crap. You and your party have contempt for our entire system of jurisprudence, the entire system of checks and balances our democracy is based on, because you can't get your way 100% of the time. Well boo-fucking-hoo. We are a country of laws, you stupid stupid man.
