Arrrgghh

Our moron-in-chief went Kansas State University on Monday to give a speech about why he thought spying on people in the US without a warrant was okay.

This excerpt from a story in the Boston Globe terrifies me and leaves me asking, "WHO THE HELL ELECTED THIS MAN TO LEAD THIS COUNTRY???" Please, if it was you, let me know who you are and where you are, because you need a flick in the forehead.

For much of his speech and question-and-answer period, President Bush served juicy red meat in a red state where he slammed John Kerry in the 2004 election, 62 to 37 percent. He said:
''This enemy cannot beat us. They cannot defeat us militarily. There's no chance."

''In the short term, we'll stay on the offense."

''Congress gave me the authority to use necessary force to protect the American people."

''We're using all assets at our disposal to protect you."

In the question-and-answer period, there was a moment when Bush was caught confused about his assets in another arena. Someone asked Bush, ''Recently, $12.7 billion was cut from education . . . How is that supposed to help our futures?"
There was applause from the crowd.

Bush stumbled. ''Education budget was cut? Say it again. What was cut?"

The person said, ''$12.7 billion was cut from education. And I was just wanting to know: How is that supposed to help our futures?"

Bush said, ''At the federal level?"

The person said, ''Yes."

Bush said, ''I don't think we've actually -- for higher education?"

The person said, ''Student loans."

Bush said, ''Student loans?"

The person said, ''Yes, student loans."

Bush said, ''Actually I think what we did was reform the student loan program. We are not cutting money out of it. In other words, people aren't going to be cut off the program. We're just making sure . . . it functions better. In other words, we are not taking people off student loans. We are saving money in the student loan program because it's inefficient."

Bush continued, ''And secondly, . . . we're actually expanding the number of Pell grants through our budget."

Karl Rove should have told Bush that if you visit a university and offer a question-and-answer session, you might get asked about education."
