This piece got lost in a shuffle a while ago - the scandal is old, but the revelations are still important...

This piece involves a comment from George W. Bush Jr. made during an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN, September 24, 2006.

Here is the full quote:
Bush Jr.: Yes, you see — you see it on TV, and that’s the power of an enemy that is willing to kill innocent people. But there’s also an unbelievable will and resiliency by the Iraqi people…. Admittedly, it seems like a decade ago. I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is — my point is, there’s a strong will for democracy...

Trying to dismissing the four years of death and destruction as 'just a comma' seems almost unbelievable. A few pundits later claimed that Bush was making a nod to his right-wing religious base by working from Gracie Allen's famous quip, "never place a period where God has placed a comma." -- but honestly, do you think 'Mr. is-our-children-learning' can be so eloquent, even to his own followers?

Bush doesn't speak in code - he only speaks of his indifference to the disaster that he created by being indifferent to the possible consequences of his actions in the first place.

Call your congressman/woman. Call your Senator. Demand an end to the war. Demand justice: impeach Bush.

Powerful, and so true. Even though he isn't president anymore, I still hope he falls in a pit and dies in a fire.

this is intense. and it's very true...and a scary thought. When I read about wars and battles they're commas...but they are so much more. They are will real people.I turn on the news,read the paper -And these are some of the real-est commas I've ever seen.Great depection and how clean and layed out this is. Kudos to you :)

when I had originally seen that quote I was mightily pissed off. Then again half of what Bush says/does pisses me off. He's not completely evil, but I find it frustrating when people defend him as a president.

We all need some good political artwork out there...thanks for sharing
