Bushite

It remains to be seen if this false evidence discredits Bush, if it alienates Tony Blair from joining in Bush’s Iraq adventure (there were reports that he was deeply embarrassed to buy into the “new evidence” scam), or if it becomes an issue that the Bushite Jihad Warriors will be confronted with at all, or if, like other of their lies and misdeeds, it will just pass away in silence.

From Gleneagles, Blair’s immediate response to the bombings had been predictably Bushite.

In contrast to Bushite flat-Earthers and shills for the oil industry, their skepticism has been founded on fears that the IPCC models fail to adequately allow for catastrophic nonlinearities such as the Younger Dryas.

Only two criteria applied for a job in the Bush administration: You were on daily speaking terms with god and you were a Bushite loyalist[…].

In the age of the Bushite version of Orwellian “double-speak”, all things are useful maintaining or expanding the imperial presidency’s power.

To look at it from another aspect, George Bush talks about destroying evil. But that is a very unorthodox view for a Christian.[…]I think the idea of destroying evil has reappeared in the heterodox, unorthodox form of Christianity that modern Bushite Christian fundamentalists represent.

Candidate Obama himself exceeded all his rivals in denouncing them and branding himself as the candidate of “change.” You remember “change,” don’t you? I seem to remember that it included change not only from all taint of Bushery but also from Clinonism. Could the media have forgotten that already? And yet here he was adopting Bushite measures and Bushite and Clintonist men (and women!) precisely in the area—defense and foreign policy—[…]

These are very same Neo-Cons and Theo-Cons who have been trying to force the Bushite “brave real men” to go to “Tehran” since 2001 instead of “Baghdad” in 2003.

This was where early Amis derived almost all of his fictional energy from, and you can clearly see the negative effect on his writing of his gradual estrangement from this environment as he enters the eighties and begins his journey from the Webbite soft-left through the neoliberal centre to the Bushite neo-con right.

Pessimism was heresy in Bushland—the relentlessly upbeat Karl Rove wouldn’t hear of it. But BC04 staffers were beginning to confess to each other, though not very loudly, their qualms. They began to have impermissible feelings of unease and defeatism. “Everyone just had that feeling within themselves,” a Bushite told a Newsweek reporter in June. She said it quietly.

How can a Labour Prime Minister adopt the position of a neo-conservative Bushite so rapidly, and with such fervent conviction?

The Bush-era celebrates double-speak in all that it does—laws have lovely names denying the reality of what they’re doing, whatever’s said by a Bushite means the opposite and all political statements must be read to recognize how the Bushites are doing/planning/seeking exactly the opposite.
