Bush unlikely to boycott Olympics
By FOSTER KLUG, Associated Press Writer
For President Bush, it would seem a small gesture to make a big point: Staying away from the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Summer Olympics would send a clear signal of U.S. anger over China's crackdown against anti-Beijing Tibetan protesters.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and German Chancellor Angela Merkel will not attend the opening ceremonies. John McCain, the Republican senator Bush has endorsed as his successor, says he would go only if China improved its rights record. And the two Democratic presidential candidates, Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, are urging Bush to miss the ceremonies.
Yet Bush is giving no indication he will skip the event. Too much may be at stake for him to do so.

Man, I must be old; I remember waaaay back when "China" was pronounced "Communist China" and the idea that the standard bearer for the Republican Party would grovel at the feet of the "Communist Chinese" was as unthinkable as, oh, say, the United State fucking up and losing an entire city.
Fucking up and letting terrorist blow a hole in the middle of New York.
Or invading the wrong fucking country.
Or passing massive tax cuts for billionaires as the nation goes broke paying the cost for invading that wrong fucking country.
My, my, my, how times have changed.
Now the Worst President Evah has been screwing the country into the cold, cold grounfdfor seven years, and, after seven years under the Iron Codpiece of the Commander Guy, you can be pretty sure of four things:
1. There is no sane person left on Earth who can possibly believe that that Commander Guy will ever do anything but sell us out;
2. Right this minute, in the Rove Suite of the West Wing, a committee of 20-year-old, war-dodging GOP cowards are, even now, working out how exactly Dubya can explain that if he doesn't pimping out yet another core American value, the "terr'ists" will win!;
3. When he delivers said speech, Fox News will pronounce it to be one of the most stirring pieces of patriotic oratory in American history, and;
4. The Pig People will get right up on their hind legs and cheer!cheer!cheer!

when criticized on their human rights record the chinese delegation began to light cigars with u.s. t-bills while singing a filthy lyric version of "guantanamera."
I must have been passed out the day they decided to board up the home of the brave and mortgage the land of the free so 1% of the population could build penthouses .
I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.
China has so many chits on bush's ass that they could serve up the Dalai Lama as a fucking hors d'ouvre at the opening ceremony, and goatboy would sample it and pronounce it first-class Texas Barbecue.
I suspect the "senior White House officials" who called Karen DeYoung of the WaPo to explain that we have always been at war with Eastasia, I mean Iran, were not 20-year-old, war-dodging GOP cowards. Probably they were closer to Cheney's vintage.
And of course, she transcribed dutifully.

Boycott? Ha! If Preznit Puppet even allowed such a heretical thought to cross his underdeveloped mind, Uncle Prescott would pop 'round to deliver another pretzel-covered love tap on behalf of Oligarchs In League, Inc.

Besides, why in the world would someone who so loves to harm people want to boycott a country with a horrible human rights history? He just wishes he could treat people that way here. And he's working on it here, believe me.
