LONG BEACH (coup2k.com) February 22, 2001 -- Guest Satirist Alex Roston on the politically correct way to address electorally- and morally-challenged George W. Bush.

I think its terrible to make fun of The President just because he was "differently elected." Sure, this has moral implications, but doesn't everything? Yeah, maybe he is the moral equivalent of a drooling quadriplegic in an electric wheelchair, but doesn't everyone have problems? We're a modern country where being a moral cripple shouldn't be a bar to employment in any office, and it says something nice about America that we show no prejudice toward those whose morals are "different." After all, President Roosevelt spent most of his life in a wheelchair, and he was elected four times. Maybe President Bush wants to be elected four times too, and he'd probably overthrow the Constitution to do it, but he can't help himself, so don't make fun of him for being morally disabled.

Given America's tolerance for the different, your making fun of George just because he's a little dumb about how real life moral issues impact our democracy is just awful. We're a country where bad things happen every day, things like black people not getting their votes counted in Florida, or folks being turned away from the polls because some Republican company thinks they're felons when actually they're not. Or what about that fascist John Ascroft getting in as Attorney General? That was terrible too!! Don't you think that under the circumstances, giving poor George a hard time just because he's morally handicapped just makes things even worse than they are?

In closing, let me say that you're totally heartless. Unchristian, evil people who are mean to the morally handicapped just don't have any place in my America. What you can't understand is that George W. can't help being a cheat and a liar. Its society's fault that he's a low down lying scoundrel and mean, terrible people like you should just leave him alone!!
