I usually get up early and listen to C-Span's “Washington Journal” in the morning. I do so, because I get to hear people, regular people from around the country, call in and express their feelings.

This morning, I was particularly intrigued by a woman who called in with a distinctively Southern accent, who sounded like the product of an unholy union between retarded cousins. This inbred woman spoke like she just popped out of the movie DELIVERANCE ( you remember that epic with Ned Beatty, where they used the line “now squeal like a pig....Yeeeehaaaaw...oh yeah, Burt Reynolds starred in it too).

I could just envision her, in her tattered bathrobe, yellow stained fingers and teeth clenching a Marlboro, and plopped down in front of a small color television, with its rabbit ears mangled and twisted like coiled DNA...torn and worn King James Bible in hand, as she ranted and raved and did a bad job paraphrasing the Bible.

But, amidst her addled brain's rattling and vibrating, emitting noxious thoughts, and droning on in a West Virginian accent, it struck me that, in spite of the famous line uttered by Bush in the Michael Moore, Fahrenheit 9/11 film, “Some call you the elite, I call you my BASE.”, these are the real base of Bush. These are the simpleminded fools who pushed him over the top, IF one believes the election was fair.

Now, I am Southern born and bred. Unlike Bush, I was born in Texas, and have attended Texas schools all my life...not that IVY league bullshit he cavorted around in during his years in college.

And, I blame Bush for the exploitation of the feeble minded. The Nascar dads, who fill their Sundays watching cars on steroids go round and round and round, wasting gas and emitting a deafening roar, the “security moms“ wheeling the poor unfortunates born to them, around in MiniVans, the older people on fixed income who are stirred up when the words “homosexual“ or “gay“ appear in concert with marriage, or the really mentally challenged people who think the ultimate power in the universe personally told them to oppose abortion and hassle young ladies who go to these clinics seeking a solution to an unplanned pregnancy.

Do you think Bush cares about the plight of these poor people in the South?
Not on your tin type. For every rich person making over 200 K a year, there were hundreds of the intellecutally challenged, poor Southerners who are “agin queers marrying“ and think that abortion is the same thing as killing babies.

So, Bush appeals not to Homo sapiens , “thinking man“, but to the lowest common denominator.

This is immediately clear if you think about the fact that even Bush supporters, have generally admitted that Kerry won ALL televised debates.

So, WHY do these toothless wonders support Bush? Simple, because he has skillfully painted himself as “one of them“. He makes flubs while speaking, makes up words, and has that incredibly annoying habit of doing this little laugh, when nothing is said that is funny. This is the same vocal masturbation that people used to see on the Andy Griffith show. Usually, one noticed it the most when the village goobers met at the barbershop of Floyd (who always struck me as a paedophile). They would mix that odd little laugh with “yeah, yep“ and this was their form of verbal retort when people would talk about good fishing or the weather changing.

And, these are the SAME families that will be losing loved ones in the wars around the world that Bush will start.

I really think he is something of a loon. He seems to see himself as a cross between Gomer Pyle and Julius Caesar. But, problem is, he is a petty little alcoholic town idiot. You can put the town drunk, like Otis, again from the Andy Griffith show, in a suit and put him in the Oval Office, and he will still flub his speaking, and make a horrible mess of things.

Thus...I submit to you...George Walker OTIS Bush.
