Happy Father’s Day!

Wish I could say the same for Bush Sr.

The former U.S. President has to bear the burden of knowing his son invaded a country just to finish what he started.

By that I mean this: George W. Bush, our current President, spent his whole life trying to please his father, former President George H. W. Bush.

Dubya’s whole life has been a facade of political competence and a mere shadow of his father. Though Dubya is the first born, his younger brother Jeb has always been the smarter one, the more competent one; the one his father wished was the first born. All of George Sr.’s venture which he involved Dubya with turned out to be PR nightmares–parades of ineptitude.

And then daddy became President. Well, how could the first born compete with that? Governor? Of Texas? Jeb was governor of Florida! Well, sibling rivalry led to Dubya’s one-upmanship of all the men in his family whom had given him that massive inferiority complex he carries with him to this day.

Dubya became President, winning two terms, thereby beating his father. And his brother remained a lowly governor.

As well, Dubya f*cked up so much that voters will never vote for another Bush again, so Dubya effectively sabotaged his brother’s chance for becoming President and doing a better job.

Finally, Dubya invaded Iraq to finish what his daddy started. It had nothing to do with 9/11 since it had…nothing…to do…with 9/11. Dubya wanted to take out Hussein from his first day in office.

His hopeless inferiority complex is to be the subject of Oliver Stone’s biopic on him, which will be called “W” but spelled out as “dub-ya” on the poster.

Truly, the Bush Dynasty is the perfect family with the perfect story for a Shakespeare-esque tragedy. Dubya is a character so flawed, no writer ever could have created him and made him believable.

I eagerly await Stone’s movie, which will be released on Oct. 17, 2008, three weekends before the presidential election.
