Poppy Bush is going to have to come out with some more whitewash

President Bush urged Iraqis to defy terrorists and vote in Sunday's election, and sought patience from anxious Americans as a Marine helicopter crash Wednesday pushed the U.S. death toll above 1,400.

"The story today is going to be very discouraging to the American people," Bush said on the deadliest day for U.S. forces since the Iraq war began. "I understand that. It is the long-term objective that is vital — that is to spread freedom."

More than half of Americans think it's unlikely that Iraq will become stable and democratic, according to an Associated Press poll. Undeterred, Bush said he is leading the nation toward an honorable goal — in Iraq and across the world. "I firmly planted the flag of liberty," he said.

Unfuckingbelievable. Well, it would be if it were anybody else saying it.

[Bush said] the Education Department and Armstrong Williams made a mistake by paying the conservative commentator to promote administration policies. "There needs to be a nice, independent relationship between the White House and the press," Bush said, adding that the White House didn't know about the agreement.

No, of course not. Because the White House is totally above board when it comes to spending taxpayer money and spreading propaganda.

Despite the unrelenting violence, Bush said, "I anticipate a grand moment in Iraqi history" with Sunday's elections He seemed to be lowering expectations when asked how big of a turnout was needed to declare the election a success. "The fact that they're voting in itself is successful," he said.

Unfuckingbelievable.

Bush mixed up the budget and deficit numbers when asked about money requests he would make in his budget proposal Feb. 7. "It turned out that the budget was $412 billion for last year," he said. That's the figure the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office cited for the deficit last year.

"Now, the budget is projected to be at $427 billion," he added. Again, that's the figure the White House projects for this year's deficit.

And that's the least problematic of the things the Idiot Son of an Asshole has mixed up.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
