Bush Gettin' Pissed Over Port Deal
Topic: Politics
By now, everyone has heard about the port deal President Bush made with an Arab owned company to handle all daily operations. The Cliff Notes version of the story is that people that claim to be pillars of the tolerance and acceptance community are now freaking out because Bush, oh my God, is letting an Arab country run our ports and, oh my God, terrorist threats are now coming from... Arabs. Hypocrites.
Then again, even some of the most staunch Bush supporters are up in arms, a la Bill Frist.
"The decision to finalize this deal should be put on hold until the administration conducts a more extensive review of this matter," said Frist, R-Tenn. "If the administration cannot delay this process, I plan on introducing legislation to ensure that the deal is placed on hold until this decision gets a more thorough review."Ooh, Frister's gettin' some nuts on him. Mr. President, your response?
"They ought to listen to what I have to say about this. They'll look at the facts and understand the consequences of what they're going to do," President Bush said. "But if they pass a law, I'll deal with it with a veto."OH SNAP!
You just got rocked son. Bush hasn't used his veto power in five years. Don't screw with the President Frist. You'll get your ass twisted.
But the dogs are getting yippy. Republican Senator Susan Collins and Democratic Representative Jane Harman are going to issue a "joint resolution of disapproval" when they get back to the Capital next week. First... what the shit is a "joint resolution of disapproval" and can it stop anything? No, right? Then who cares. And second, when you get back to the Capital
next week? God we love it when our lawmakers love our country.
"Look, I know this is pretty important, but I haven't finished the new Harry Potter yet, so it can wait."
But we're not gonna lie: Bush has been wrong about a lot of things. So what we're gonna do is sit back and wait for the sub-committees to talk it over and then spout their biased opinion about the topic back at us. Because as of now, we really don't think it's that big of a deal. The Coast Guard is in charge of security at those ports, not the company, right? Right. So let our military handle it.
