Today's Washington Times Headline: Bush Calls For Global Cooperation
Backstory: Gee I screwed up this Iraq thing. What do I do?
Hmmm, when it looked like I'd go to Vietnam, what did I do? I called Daddy for help and somebody sent me to the Air National Guard.
Hmmm, when I screwed up Arbusto Energy, what did I do? I called Daddy's friend Philip Uzielli, who bought a 10% share of the company for $1,000,000 even though the entire company was worth only $400,000.
Hmmm, when I blew the successor company of Arbusto, Bush Energy up, I got two of Daddy's friends, William DeWitt Jr. and Mercer Reynolds III to merge their successful company Spectrum 7 with mine and make me CEO.
Hmmm, when, as CEO of Spectrum 7, I drove the company into the ground, what did I do? I got Alan Quasha, owner of Harken Energy Corp. to trade his good shares of Harken for the nearly worthless shares of Spectrum 7. I also got a good job on their board.
Hmmm, now that I've really screwed up this thing, maybe I can “call for world cooperation” and get the world to bail me out of this jam.
Nope. This time you'll be cleaning up your own messes, Georgie boy.
