Americans were stunned today to discover their president, George W. Bush of Crawford Texas, might be a total fucking idiot. Check out this CNN story about the new book Strategery, and the statement by Bush that, Bin Laden helped him win in 2004.

The idiot part?

President Bush said his 2004 re-election victory over Sen. John Kerry was inadvertently aided by Osama bin Laden, The Washington Examiner newspaper reported Tuesday.
...
Bush said there were "enormous amounts of discussion" inside his campaign about the 15-minute tape, which he called "an interesting entry by our enemy" into the presidential race.

Bush's comments in the Washington newspaper were excerpts from the new book "Strategery" by Bill Sammon, a longtime White House correspondent.
...
"I thought it was going to help," Bush said.

"I thought it would help remind people that if bin Laden doesn't want Bush to be the president, something must be right with Bush."

What a blockhead. He just doesn't get it. Bin Laden loves George Bush. George Bush fulfilled all of Bin Laden's fantasies about embroiling the United States in an endless war that would be perceived as being against Islam. World opinion of our country has gone to pot, our deficits have ballooned, our soldiers die, and Bin Laden is still alive. What about this makes George think Bin Laden doesn't love him? He is responsible more than any other man alive for fulfilling Bin Laden's prophecies about the 9/11 attacks, if anything, he released that tape because he knew criticism of Bush would only help him win again.
