Farewell to the
Naughties! pt.2

Gilly Sinlow, “Popped Culture”
Farewell to George W. Bush’s
Administration of monstrosities!

In this last decade of the Naughties
(Notties, Noughties, Naughty
Aughties, The Oh’s... et cetera)
there has never been such a
villainous president since Tricky
Dick Nixon. George W. Bush was
as evil as he was flaky. He had
turned America into a hyperbole for
Agressive and Assanine.

Through the eight years of his
presidency, he had worked through
Hurricane Katrina, 9/11 and the
many events in between like the
rise of South Park, a politically
incorrect animated program that had
raised issues like homosexuality,
alcoho! abuse, curse words, and
even events like the Samoa Pirates,
Michael Jackson and Osama bin
Laden.

What does it have to do with
President “Dubya”?

South Park was probably one of
the most vocal and accessible
programs that had critiqued

the Bush Administration. It had
ridiculed, belittled and even spoke ill
of the President.

Albeit, in light of his facade to

the public eye, there were many,
well numerous, resources that
portrayed the Bush Administration
in a bad light on the big screen, on
televisions, and on radio.

Yet, a double standard of the radio
made a certain chick group go
Pariah. .

Dixie Chicks were nearly shunned
for commenting on the Bush
Administration negatively. This
sprouted a backlash against the
music group. The girls however,
stood their ground against the

turn of events. They made a new
album; they had recorded a song
specifically noting the radio incident.
The Grammy’s had recognized their
resilience and had shown respect to
the musicians for their stance on the

Freedom of Speech.

Speaking of Speeches, Bush was
able to razzie and dazzle the mass
idiocy (I’m sorry but eight years of
Bush was a choice in a democratic
society). He was able to invoke
terror, fear and insecurity of national
security during his reigns on the
Chariot of Patriot Spirit.

He was able to provide a
sociological phenomena called the
Culture of Fear. He was able to
sustain a control over the country
by scaring the mass idiocy that
certain groups of terrorists have

planned out a massive attack
against America and that America’s
Army was the only answer to of
dissolving the terrorists, dissolvir~ ,
the anarchy apparent in the Mid. |
East and dissolving, yet ultimately
alienating, the global political stage.
Bush was a monster’s monster. He
had more days of vacation than any
other president in history. He was
an epitome of what happens when
a spoiled, selfish child is allowed

to rule a super power that always
believed: “More is more.”
