Bush Hate Rising - "British TV to air documentary "Death of a President" on Bush Assassination" - report by Dr. Susan Block

Meanwhile, more and more people from all points on the political spectrum are coming out of their closets, bombed out homes and garden parties with their Bush Hate. According to most polls, a widening majority of Americans disapprove of the job the President is doing (and only a wavering third approve). His record-low numbers are even worse when it comes to specifically how he's handling Iraq. Hey, even my most right-wing Republican sex therapy clients, the ones with mahogany framed photos of themselves posed with the Gipper on their mantles, say they hate G.W. Bush. Hate him!

Of course, lefties, liberals, peaceable libertines and ethical hedonists, those of us wearing the "I Hated Bush Before It Was Cool" t-shirts, have deplored the Shrub since he was born again as a political favorite son after failing dismally as a businessman. We stewed as he stole and smirked his way into the White House, with the judicious assistance of Uncle Nino (Scalia). When his "response" to 9/11 was to cluster-bomb Afghanistan, murdering over 3500 civilians (according to a study to be released December 10 by University of New Hampshire Economics Professor Marc W. Herold) while letting Osama and Mullah Omar slip free, we seethed, but were far outnumbered in America by the battle-cheering hordes..

Then there's Euro Bush Hate: The genteel ones treat him like the proverbial bull in the china shop of the world. The rest want to try him for war crimes. British TV is about to air "Death of a President," a documentary-style fantasy about Bush's assassination. Is this wishful thinking?
