	I know, I mean you go and make a community for it, and then pass it on to someone else because you hate politics, and you still end up getting your shirt ruined by the splooge (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	We should all know by now that mentioning George Bush and supporter in the same sentence on LJ is just begging for wank (which spurts in the comments from both sides). Yup. Tried to make a jurisimprudence law about invoking Dubya in an unrelated topic once, and immediately got accused of being a biased liberal, thus proving my point. (Reply to this)(Thread)

New Law?

I think there's a law to be made regarding the invocation of Osama. I'm no big fan of Bush, but I do still have a sense of reality.

The index at

jurisimprudence is down, so this may be a re-run, but I propose: "Comparison of a US political leader to Osama bin Laden shall result in immediate loss of argument. One who invokes said comparison shall be required to refrain from objecting to anything the US government does, on threat of death, for one year."

Because really, if you're able to make the comparison publicly without fear of retribution, it's probably not a fair comparison.

	Isn't that sort of a corollary on Godwin's, though? Osama bin Laden, Nazis, Hitler, the KKK and so forth? (Though I agree there should be a law involving the invocation of Dubya, somewhere. If nothing else, for the politiwank comm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Godwin's political comparison corollary?

As for Bush, I'm stuck. Invoking him is like sending an engraved invitation to everyone's inner Wanky McWankerton. Too much spooge, too many directions: god!wank, logical fallacy!wank, grammar!wank... it's plain duck and cover time.

OK, I've put too much thought into george for the day. I have to go find some way to make my life productive.

	Mm. The spooge flies hard and fast, to be sure, but it always does in political "debate". To be fair - the woman's remark was pretty wanky even in hyperbole, sure. But this makes her a sucky customer how...? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I wouldn't vote for George Bush if the Democratic ticket was Charles Manson and Osama bin Ladin. Besides, with the latest revelations about the "it's okay to torture people if the president says it's okay, because, hey, he's the president!" legal opinion-memos leaked, Georgie-boy's becoming more and more like the "hater of freedom", eh?
