Bad Strategery, George

The White House-through-the-American-corporate-media spin machine seems to think it's OK to paint the vehement, large, and extremely united anti-Bush message in South America as a case of Hugo Chavez of Venezuela being mean to our wonderful, freedom loving president.

a) Chavez hadn't opened his mouth and Bush hadn't arrived when the protests really began to ramp up.

b) The Bushies keep telling us how unimportant and how fraudulently in place Mr. Chavez is, so isn't it counter-intuitive to make it seem like he's important enough to bully our bully-in-chief?

c) People HATE Bush. They can't understand how America, for all the promise it once held, could manage to elect this freedom hating moron once, let alone twice. We should stop pretending that the anti-Bush contingent consists of just two Frenchman and a German from Bavaria.

d) You know, after seeing the Bushies idea of freedom and democracy and hearing them repeatedly tell us that Mr. Chavez does NOT represent their definition of democracy, I'm buying all my gas at CITGO. CITGO gets its gas from Venezuela.
