Larney Santry – 9/7/07

End the three-ring circus; Larney Santry; Beaver County Times; September 7, 2007.

In summary, as Mr. Santry’s previous letters here, here, here, and here, this is a rant devoid of facts.

Below is a detailed critique of the subject letter.

“Our current administration is just like a three-ring circus. The three clowns are President George Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.”

[RWC] You know you’re in for an intelligent letter when it leads off with name-calling. <g>

“These people have put the American pride so low; the whole world hates the United States. The time to resign is now, not next year. The time is now.”

[RWC] I didn’t know either of these three individuals planned to resign next year. As far as “the whole world hates the United States” goes, even if it were true, who cares?

“I guess the lame-duck president is waiting for the death toll to reach 4,000 young men and women. The so-called surge has been a complete failure, just like his last six years in office.”

[RWC] I wonder where Mr. Santry gets his news. Even congressional Democrats and the mainstream media who recently visited Iraq conceded the surge is working. That’s why they switched to complaining the Iraq government wasn’t making enough progress.

“Even the name Bush spells trouble. The ‘b’ stands for bullheaded, the ‘u’ stands for useless, the ‘s’ stands for stubborn and the ‘h’ stands for heartless.

“Now Karl Rove and Alberto Gonzales have jumped his sinking ship. Who’s next? I hope it is Bush.

“What a track record this man has performed. It’s the worst in the history - ever.”

[RWC] Where are the examples?

“Why doesn’t he take Laura and Barney and go back to the ranch and stay there? He doesn’t have the guts to be running the greatest nation in the world and should get out now.”

[RWC] Mr. Santry has a historical problem with logic. If President Bush “doesn’t have the guts to be running the greatest nation in the world,” wouldn’t he have quit long ago?
