The Hypocrisy of Bush's Signing Ceremony for Extension of Voting Rights Act

Hypocrisy is pretty standard for politicians, but all the pomp and circumstance Bush went for this morning to "celebrate" his signing of the Voting Rights Act made me particularly ill, considering these two major points:

  1. I don't think Bush cares one damned bit about keeping voting rights intact for minorities, not when he created the "Help America Vote" act that led to extreme abuses leading to the disenfranchisement of African-American and other minority voters throughout the country in 2004.
  2. Many of the people Bush calls his "dear pals" are those who voted against - or abstained or were absent - the extension of the Voting Rights Act.
