BUSH -- WHAT A MORON

UNBELIEVABLE - The great thing about Bush is that you never know when he is going to display his stupidity/ignorance in an even more astounding way.

The following appeared on Howard Dean't "Blog for America" having been submitted by Jesse Jackson, Sr.

During the first weekend of March, in Selma, Alabama, marchers commemorated the 40th anniversary of the march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in that city. The violence unleashed by Southern sheriffs and racial vigilantes on that day galvanized President Johnson to push through the Voting Rights Act, giving blacks the right to vote in the South for the first time since the brief reconstruction period after the Civil War.

Now, 40 years later, that right to vote is once more at risk. When President Bush met with the 43 members of the Congressional Black Caucus, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.—I report with some pride—asked him if he would support extension and strengthening of the Voting Rights Act when it comes up for renewal in 2007.

President Bush responded that he did not support voting rights for the District of Columbia. Rep. Jackson said that was not what he asked; he asked about extending the Voting Rights Act. Bush replied that he was not aware of the act and would look at it when it got to his desk. The president's passivity would enable House Majority leader Rep. Tom "the Hammer" DeLay to torpedo the act, just as he has real voting-rights reform.

For the younger people reading this, you have to remember that Bush graduated from High School the year this historic legislation was passed. It's not like it didn't make the papers, and it's not like it wasn't HUGE news. Before signing this bill, Lyndon Johnson said he was delivering the South to the Republican Party for the next 40 years.- Why? Because the white Democrats in the south would be FURIOUS with him for having signed this legislation.
"I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" what a MORON.
