Bush is such a hypocrite.

I’m a little late on this, but it’s worth noting. Here’s the intro to the New York Times story on Monday about Bush’s speech in Egypt:

SHARM EL SHEIKH, Egypt — After basking in a showy celebration of America’s close ties with Israel, President Bush criticized other Middle East leaders on Sunday, prodding them to expand their economies, offer equal opportunity to women and embrace democracy if they want peace to become reality.

Hard to count how many things are wrong with that paragraph. My first thought was, what a fucking hypocrite. This comes from a president whose country’s economy is tanking, who has repeatedly denied women equal rights and opportunities, and whose party is working overtime to gum up our electoral process. And then I realized, hey, it’s not like Bush has made peace a reality — maybe this is some accidentally insightful commentary?
Sigh. Ok, I know it’s not. Let’s just focus on the countdown — and on keeping the Bush-ish John McCain from being elected in November.
