Felix: Pay Attention
(Your Rubber Stamping of Bush Is Killing You Brother)
Note to George Felix Allen from Webb spokesman Steve Jarding: OK, here’s the problem Senator. When all of your responses to George W. Bush resemble a bobble-headed dog in the back window of the family Buick, you get in trouble.
Case in point I. (Hot Springs, Virginia, 22 July 2006, Virginia Bar Association debate) When George Allen was asked to defend his rubberstamping of George W. Bush’s Iraq policies even though the conflict was not going well, Felix the Facilitator announced that things in Iraq were going swimmingly. Allen the Enabler even said that General Casey himself had assured the Statuesque Senator that "By the end of the year as many as three fourths of the military operations in Iraq will be led by Iraqis."
Yet, within 48 hours, Allen’s enablee, George W. announced that things in Baghdad were blowing up in our faces, literally and figuratively, and in fact, more not less troops would need to be reassigned there to try to deal with the very tenuous, volatile and unstable situation we were facing there.
Not good, George of Dude Ranch fame.
Case in point II: (Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, 11 July 2006) George Allen tours the detainee facility at Guantanamo and announces to the public that interrogators there go "beyond Geneva Convention requirements," and that, "prisoners are treated very well."
Yet, within 48 hours, Allen’s alter ego, George W. announced that in fact, terror detainees at Guantanamo had not been granted basic human and legal protections under the Geneva Convention.
Dude, where’s my independence?
Senator Rubberstamp, when you blindly mimic a keystone cop, you become a keystone cop. Not good Dude.
