WB: We Are All Argentines
Comments
Guess he didn’t get his Stalinist Friutcake tee shirt in time.
By the way, in a previous lifetime, didn’t Maradana and Chimpy once do a few lines together?
“I’m proud as an Argentine to repudiate the presence of this human trash, George Bush,” said Maradona.
Wow.
People way down south know what’s going on. How embarrassing to be an American just now. We’re belatedly finding out things that much of the rest of the world knew long since. Our current administration, connected roots and all, is destroying everything in its path. Rule of thumb: If Bush wants it, don’t do it; if he doesn’t like it, do it!
I’ve been saying we are all Argentinians
ever since 2001 at the Whiskey Bar, though
not in the sense you mean it. Bonnie HRCPC
is here touring the Queens’ Neo Colonies,
and Bully HRHGB is touring Argentina. Nice.
And all we got is one under-viceroy, on five
charges of lying to investigators, while the
shredders were working through the midnight.
Whatever happens to Bushco will be five times
more brutal on the middle class and the poor.
One more Refco, one more Boghosian, and then,
yes, We Are All Argentines.

Man, I can just picture it. Doing Communist blow in their Stalinist Fruitcake tees.
Hugo sure looks happy.

Just as we are all Americans. From May ’68:
A policeman lives in each of us; we must kill him.

Here in New Zealand it gets translated as “human rubbish.” Either way, it’s an insult to trash and rubbish everywhere.

“I know rubbish. Rubbish is a friend of mine. Mr. Bush, you’re no rubbish.”
-Trash

“Trash serves a purpose in the world. Trash is the remnant of something good. George W. Bush couldn’t hold a candle to trash.”
-Rubbish

“Bush couldn’t carry trash or rubbish’s jock strap.”
-Detritus

We desperately need more riots in the US.
I think when a society is in crisis, riots (especially if they don’t kill people as the French riots so far seem to have done) are a good thing.
Hell, what was the French Revolution?
The LA riots led to a much needed reform of the LAPD and other stuff.
I’m appalled that African-Americans didn’t riot en masse after Katrina, everwhere. I would have set a car or two on fire myself if I was 18 and lived in DC.
The French rioters (for this is what they are, not Muslims or foreigners) of today are as alive as those of 1968. Not necessarily a bad thing.
The Americans seem dead, spiritually crushed. Read the frontpage post on Kos on Bush’s latest blow aggainst the poor.
It is not the French riots which are the news, it is the ABSENCE of American riots, like the dog who didn’t bark in the night.

Sorta gotta agree with you Lupin sometimes it seems like the Amerikan dialogue is “that twofaced lying George Bush is using margerine; you remember – he promised us strawberry flavoured K-Y!”

The Argentines went through horrific economic collapse thanks to the World Bank/IMF etc policies so they have plenty of riot fuel. We are not Argentines yet. But it’s coming.
People forget how Americans rioted in Chicago in the late 1800’s and nearly destoyed Capitalism in the early 1900’s. You don’t think Americans can riot? Just wait for the inevitable post Republican economic collapse. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

The soccer star’s shirt said “War Criminal” with a picture of Bush.
Anyway, I’m with Che: “Hasta la victoria siempre.”

Every corporation is a mini communist empire and every CEO a mini Stalin. Toe the party line or you are exiled (fired).
