King George Issues Summons On War Funding

Arrogance or delusion? From what place in the shrub’s mind comes the audacity to summon congressional leaders to the White House to “discuss” his supplemental war spending bill? His words sound like those of the petulant child demanding ice cream from an indulgent mother. Whatever mother brings, no matter her greater wisdom, will not be satisfactory. If mother brings a bowl with chocolate sauce, Georgie wants a cone with sprinkles. You can see the fit he’ll throw forming behind his eyes and hear it in the timbre of his whine.
The child who would be king, extending his “invitation,” expressed his demands this way:
At this meeting, the leaders in Congress can report on progress on getting an emergency spending bill to my desk. We can discuss the way forward on a bill that is a clean bill.
So, what he’s saying is Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi can just march their butts down Pennsylvania Avenue so he can lay down his demands. There’s no point pitching a fit unless the ones he’s annoyed with are there to see it. No negotions. No give and take. He’ll have what he wants. Period.
The only humor in any of this these days is when Nancy and Harry publicly explain the new rules to Georgie in the manner and tone which indeed a patient, exhausted parent would take.
The horror is that while the tactics and attitudes of the president can seem rather childish, the goal of his demands supports actions rarely, if ever, supportable among even the wisest adults: Aggression, killing, and mayhem.
It’s time to take away Georgie’s toys and give him a long time-out.
