Shorter Indianapolis Star Editorial
In 2nd term, Bush must unify nation by admitting errors, seeking remedies
This newspaper endorses George Bush in the coming presidential election because only he is capable of fixing all the things he fucked up during his first term.
Shorter concept inspired by busy, busy, busy, originally launched by Daniel Davies at D-Squared Digest with the original Shorter Steven den Beste. Disclaimer copied in part from busy, busy, busy.

Wow, I’m convinced.
Seriously, if that’s the best you can do why endorse anybody at all?

These people are fucking insane.
Once again my fellow citizens amaze, horrify and embarrass me.

This is not a time to take a risk on untested and poorly defined leadership.
No indeed. This is the time to depend on a proven failure. Praise Bush for being “steadfast” and then simply assume that, once elected, he’ll completely change his failed policies.

I also loved the part that said, “Most important, America and Americans are more vigilant against the terrorist threat.” If Gore had been president, we would have completely overlooked the missing buildings in the center of Manhattan. Only someone with the wisdom and mental sharpness of Bush would have been able to notice that we’d suffered the greatest attack on American soil in history.

What a pathetic, ridiculous piece of shit. Dubya is “steadfast and determined,” but the main evidence of that is the war on Iraq, which the paper basically admits was unjustified and is a disaster. But if only Bush can get an Extreme Brain Makeover before January 20, in his second term he can do all the good stuff he promised to do in his first term, but didn’t.

Gotta love it. Hes fucking stupid, but hes resolutely fucking stupid, and, um, John Kerry is just a Senator and hasn’t fucked up anything really really badly. So obviously, vote for the guy who when he does something, does it resolutely, even if it is really fucking stupid.
A new defintion of excellence. Excellent!

“Duh, gee, the guy out there on the street didn’t know what John Kerry stood for, and we don’t do research here at the Star”. If going “on gut” gets the President such a rabid following, why shouldn’t an editorial board do the same?
Who owns these fucks? Eli Lilly?

notbushcity,
i live in indiana. i’m a former newspaper reporter, and the indy star is a RAG. formerly owned by dan quayle’s family, sold about 4 years ago to gannett. it wasn’t that good to begin with, but now it shitty.
edit. page fools tend to be christers. surprised they didn’t endorse bush because he’s more “christian” than kerry.
lilly doesn’t own them, but the paper is their bitch. rarely critical of big pharma. and i don’t trust lilly as far as i can flush it down the toilet.
iu basketball is lousy. mike davis isn’t up for the job. however, he’s a better man than bob knight — and that’s not saying much.

I love how these liberals always quote the medias view on the war, they get thier info from the same place Kerry does lol. Because the media is so fair and accurate, good old Dan :), since when has the media became the US intelligence?
Why did the democrats nominate Kerry? When they could have nominated the president of CBS instead..??..

Here at Bush headquaters we firmly belive that
those critical anilitical skills displayed by the
writers of the editorial are the reason the USA
is the ciuntry it is today.
