Official White House Toilet Paper

I just read perhaps the most disgusting thing I have ever read in my life. Forget American Psycho. Forget Chuck Palanhiuk. Forget Stephen King or Clive Barker. The new master of American horror is from a man who doesn't read and can barely speak the English language. I'm writing, of course, about our president, George W. Bush.

A month ago, Republican Congressional leaders held a meeting with Bush in the Oval Office to discuss renewal of expiring sections of the USA Patriot Act. Bush was told that pushing for some of these provisions could result in a conservative backlash, and this is what followed (thanks go to The Left Coaster:
“I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.”

“Mr. President,” one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.”

“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”
Let me put that down one more time:
“I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.”

“Mr. President,” one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.”

“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”
This is how the White House views the most sacred document in this country. The goddamn piece of paper that grants him the rights to say such things. The goddman piece of paper that contains the essence and ideas that he claims to want to spread around the globe. The goddamn piece of paper that he continually says "activist" judges do not adhere to. The goddamn piece of paper that he has sworn to his God to uphold. If he feels this way about this 200-year-old goddamn piece of paper, I wonder what he thinks about the people and the country it is written to protect.

By calling the Constitution, "just a goddamn piece of paper," Bush has belittled this country. He has shown how he really feels about America and the ideas it stands for. No wonder we abduct and torture people. No wonder we invade sovereign nations and impose our will on their people.

The only way George W. Bush would respect the Constitution is if it were green and written by the U.S. Treasury.
