There Was A Crooked Man…

The best way to show that a stick is crooked is not to argue about it or to spend time denouncing it, but to lay a straight stick alongside it. — Dwight L. Moody (1837 - 1899)

    Which is why Dubya refuses to be photographed alongside Obama?

    Simplicity in itself.
    Wonder who would want to be photoed alongside Dubya now?

    I find it curious that although W was not mentioned in this post, these perceptive folks from across the big puddle known as the Atlantic, immediately equate W with the words “crooked man”. Too bad that too many Americans are still blind to that fact and refuse to accept the truth that has been so obvious to half of us since before he was “selected” to be President the first time.

    I’m no this side of the Atlantic, but I knew you were talking about W, as well! LOL After all, he is one of the most crooked men we know.

    It’s a good quotation. The problem a lot of people have with evaluating leaders is they are using with some movie hero as their guide, the real deals don’t come in illusion satisfying boxes. Illusion is why W ever got a chance to start.

    This is the best you can do? Assault the president? This can be applied to yourselves and situations. I doubt the president was “selected”.
