Analogies

"President" Bush announced his plan to - and this is a quote - Bolster Abbas and Push for Peace Talks.

That's like Mel Gibson pushing Hitler to not be anti-semitic. Or perhaps it is more like Hitler pushing Mel Gibson. Depending on your perspective.

That's just what the middle east needs, George Bush's brilliant grasp on policy. Israel/Palestine is probably the most complicated relationship in the world. Blaming only one is about as ignorant as believing that "Domestic Wiretapping" is actually limited to suspected terrorists. But apparently, G-Dub (trademarked) thinks that somehow he has some sort of "expertise" in mending violent relationships and that he needs to get involved with a group of people so on edge that they've actually already run over the cliff and are about to look down.

And exactly which faction of the Palestinians will be helped by Bush's "Git-R-Done" philosophy? Jon Stewart put it best when describing the two major groups:

"While Fatah just wants to kill the Jews, Hamas, on the other hand, wants to KIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL..........JEEEEWWWWSSSSSSSSSSS....."

Great. Perfect area for the G-Dub genius. Next, let's have him explain Gun Control to Darfur, or safe-sex in Africa, or Science to Iran.

Or, better, let's send him to Venus to teach the Venusons (?) about how to keep their air clean. I can't think of a better place for him.

I wish this were fake.

From YouTube:

I don't care how anti-Israel you are, this is some pretty sick shit.

AP -

"You and I are laying the foundation for a world led by Islamists," the cartoon character squeaked on a recent episode of the show, which is titled, "Tomorrow's Pioneers."

"We will return the Islamic community to its former greatness, and liberate Jerusalem, God willing, liberate Iraq, God willing, and liberate all the countries of the Muslims invaded by the murderers."

Children call in to the show, many singing Hamas anthems about fighting Israel.

Update: 3:00 PM - I have seen a few reports that the translation might be fake. I'd be a bit surprised since the AP broke the story, but anything is possible. Has anyone else heard anything?
