Continuing with what seems to be this ongoing theme of hypocrisy....

George Bush, vying to overtake Richard Nixon for distinction as the most unpopular president in American history, in yet another glowing example of hypocrisy unleashed, dedicated a monument last week to the victims of Communism where Bush compared "totalitarian regimes to modern terrorist groups."

In what Dada considers a rather mild, yet logical retort, President Putin of Russia responded by saying, "We have not used nuclear weapons against a civilian population," nor has Russia "sprayed thousands of kilometers (miles) with chemicals, (or) dropped on a small country seven times more bombs than in all the Great Patriotic (War)" (Russia's name for World War II.)

I thought this a rather calm, civilized response by a "totalitarian regime" leader being compared to modern terrorists. After all, he made no reference to the poisoning of Iraq with WMD's containing depleted uranium that will have disastrous genetic effects on unborn thousands of children there for generations to come. Nor did he mention the overstepping by Bush of American's guaranteed constitutional rights (a totalitarian act) while promoting "democracy" in Iraq (through acts of terrorism against its citizens).

But Bush condemning others on the global stage that he himself has soiled, cannot, when making such sanctimonious proclamations, smell his own stench. And therein lies the endless laughable irony of our president's hypocrisy. If only it were funny.
