The Reactionary Utopian 

 Blaming Bush 

May 4, 2006  



 


I missed his latest achievement, an act of lese majesty at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, where he ridiculed the chief guest, President Bush, without mercy.

 

That is what I'm talking about!

Once I looked the words up (words that mean one thing - obviously) and put the two together, then, the light shines. It was pretty dark before I looked up "lese".

Looking words up isn't so bad. One finds one word that means one thing sometimes. That is practially unique these days. Soon 'we' may be redefining the word "The". "We" has already suffered enough - without mercy.

That stinks.
