Stewart takes on Bush's demagoguery
President Bush's fear mongering has been in full force this week, and it's been sickening to watch and listen to. Thank God there are a few elements of our corporate media who are even bothering to do some cursory reporting concerning the Bush administration's outrageous demand for $700 billion in taxpayer money to bail out greedy Wall St. CEOs, without fixing the systemic problems that are plaguing our financial and banking systems.
I have to admit, I'm quite happy that there hasn't yet been an agreement on a bailout (and I'm not calling it a rescue plan, despite how the corporate conservative blowhards on Faux News want to frame it).
Yet, that hasn't stopped Bush from trying to make one of the largest money and power grabs in American history.
And I don't give a damn what conservatives say - I'm quite thankful that there are a few adequately pissed off personalities in the media who have the temerity to question Bush's motives. (The nerve! Not parroting Bush's meme! How... free press of them)
Well played, Stew.
