If it’s Wednesday, the President must be shoveling shit on TV…

Another day, another carefully selected, pre-tested pack of lies from the President, whose life’s purpose has become trying to polish his turd of an unwinnable war in Iraq into a bright-shining diamond of democracy in the empty heads of his stalwart 30-33% of true believers.

In recent days, his “Stay The Course” series of speeches have become increasingly histrionic and desperate (and always before prescreened, adoring crowds of like-minded idealogues), comparing the war on terrorism to everything from Nazism to Communism. (Yes, the GOP has shamelessly dusted off the ghost of Soviet Russia and is trotting it out in a last-ditch effort to wring just a little bit more political mileage out of The Red Scare by pushing familiar buttons in the AARP/Alzheimers crowd.)

One day Osama is Hitler, the next day he’s Uncle Joe Stalin – perhaps today he’ll be cast as Ming the Merciless, and our intrepid bullshitter-in-chief as a modern-day Flash Gordon? He already has the flight suit…

The difference is, in WWII we beat the Nazis on the ground, and in the Cold War we outlasted the Soviets through intelligence assets and crafty brinksmanship. Bush has already proven we can’t beat the Iraqi insurgents on the ground, and Dumbleyou’s use of intelligence assets and diplomacy makes the Keystone Cops look like John Steed and Emma Peel.

Honestly, is anyone but the brain-addled and blindly-faithful buying this shit anymore?

We’ll know come November.
