Advice To Mr. Bush From a Member of the 'Reality-Based' Community
HBO: Real Time with Bill Maher contributed by Boris Botero
Bill Maher's closing words from a recent Real Time With Bill
Maher show.
“Mr. [Bush],
this job can't be fun for you any more.
There's no more money to spend – you used up all of that. You can't start another war because you used
up the army. And now, darn the luck, the
rest of your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people.
Listen to your Mom.
The cupboard's bare, the credit cards maxed out. No one's speaking to you. Mission
accomplished.
“Now
it's time
to do what you've always done best: lose
interest and walk away. Like you did
with your military service and the oil company and the baseball
team. It's time.
Time to move on and try the next fantasy job. How about cowboy or
space man? Now I know what you're saying: there's so many
other things that you…could involve yourself in.
Please don't. I know, I
know. There's a lot left to do. There's a war with Venezuela. Eliminating the sales tax on yachts. Turning the space program over to the
church. And Social Security to Fannie
Mae. Giving embryos the vote.
“But, Sir, none
of that is going to happen now.
Why? Because you govern like
Billy Joel drives. You've performed so
poorly I'm surprised that you haven't given yourself a medal. You're a catastrophe that walks like a
man. Herbert Hoover was a [lousy] president, but even he never conceded
an entire city to rising water and snakes.
“On your watch,
we've lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four airliners, two trade
centers, a piece of the Pentagon and the City of
Orleans. Maybe
you're just not lucky. I'm not saying
you don't love this country. I'm just
wondering how much worse it could be if you were on the other side.
“So, yes, God
does speak to you. What he is saying is:
'Take a hint.' “
