Bush and Pussies

George Bush is a pussy.

I'm not saying that lightly, nor to just get a rise out of any conservative viewers who stumbled on this site. He, along with most other American politicians, is a big, lazy, conflict-avoiding pussy. Yesterday was the 33rd annual March for Life rally in Washington, D.C. All this hullabaloo is to mourn the Roe v. Wade decision by the Supreme Court.

Since he was elected president, Bush has called in to this rally every year. Which is lame. If he wants to reach out and touch someone, fine. But if he feels passionately about an issue, which I'm sure Bush feels passionately about pro-life people because the polls tell him they are his voting base and the Bible tells him these people are right, he should show face. He should allow himself to be photographed in a sea of angry, hateful, insulting signs. Allow Time to run him on the cover, his squinty face next to a poster with a graphic picture of an aborted fetus. Don't half-ass it. If Bush wants to be Mr. Pro-Life President, do it. Don't just call up and leave a message. Bush is such a pussy he literally phones it in.

I'm surprised Hillary Clinton's "plantation" remarks haven't gotten her into more trouble, but I'm glad she said it. The wussification of politics is annoying at the least and disturbing at worst. A leader should be able to articulately stand by the issues they find important and mean it, not half-ass a reaction to satisfy one group and not actively piss off another group. I don't want abortion rights limited, but if Bush wants to advocate for that, he should show his face at such a large gathering of like-minded people. Maybe if someone charged the marchers $500 a head he'd attend next year.
