20 Questions for President Bush
Oct 11 '04
The Bottom Line You have covered yourself with a cloud so that no prayer can get through; you have made us scum and refuse among the nations. Lamentations 3:44-45
1. You’ve lived in Washington, D.C. for the past four years. Can you name five different D.C. neighborhoods, describe a distinctive quality of each one, and mention an occasion when you visited there?
2. Your administration has derided the U.N., and specifically the Security Council's ability to exercise a veto over the United States. Yet when it suits your purposes, for example in citing all the U.N. Resolutions Saddam Hussein failed to abide by, you are happy to use the U.N. to advance your arguments and U.S. actions. What role should the U.N. play in American foreign policy decisions?
3. Why is so much of the money allocated for reconstruction projects in Iraq unspent?
4. Under what specific conditions would you launch another pre-emptive war?
5. Many people find it difficult if not impossible to support themselves and their families on the minimum wage. If adjusted for inflation, it would now be more than $8. Should the minimum wage be raised?
6. What two countries make up Hispaniola?
7. Please explain why the life of a frozen embryo that may end up in a dumpster is more valuable than the life of a person with Alzheimer's, Parkinsons, or a paralyzing spinal cord injury.
8. You are pro-life on the subject of abortion, but not on the subject of capital punishment. In this you differ from the teachings of the Catholic Church. Isn’t the position of the Catholic Church more consistent than yours?
9. Why should ex-felons, who have served their time and repaid their debt to society, be denied one of the most fundamental American rights, the right to vote?
10. You have asked thousands of young American men and women to put their lives on the line in Iraq and Afghanistan. What specifically are your daughters doing, and what have you asked them to do, in service to this country?
11. Which quality do you feel is more important, strength or wisdom?
12. If you were going to be stranded on a desert island for the rest of your life, what five books would you take with you?
13. Do you subscribe to Mark Twain’s dictum that a man who never reads is just as ignorant as a man who can’t read?
14. If you were on your deathbed reflecting on the life you have lived, what one thing would you be most proud of? What one thing would you most regret?
15. Imagine that you could do any one thing with an absolute guarantee of not being discovered, caught, or punished. What would that thing be?
16. You have promoted educational standards through the No Child Left Behind Act. Would you be willing to take the high school level achievement tests that American students take as part of this program and reveal your scores to us?
17. Which activity do you feel is more macho: windsurfing, or cheerleading?
18. You must go on a date. Pick one from each of the following categories:
Your date: Susan Sontag, Noam Chomsky, Arundhati Roy, Donna Shalala, Barack Obama.
Location: The zoo, the Holocaust Museum, a showing of Fahrenheit 9/11, a Wiccan potluck, windsurfing.
Physical intimacy: Algerian kiss, foot rub, finger sucking, spooning, hair brushing.
Your faux pas: You suddenly forget the difference between Martin Luther and Martin Luther King, Jr.; your underwear smells rancid; you thought 600,000 Jews died in the Holocaust; you feel suddenly confused about marriage being between a man and a woman; negligent homicide while DUI.
Your date’s faux pas: fart, menstrual effluvia, slip showing, racial slur, colostomy bag leaks.
19. Psychiatrists have speculated that former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and current North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il exhibit malevolent paranoid narcissism, a condition whose sufferers feel that the rest of the world is conspiring against them, who live in a delusional universe disconnected from reality, who feel a sense of entitlement by virtue of family connections or their place in the power hierarchy, and whose reactions to others are motivated by anger and fear. Do you feel any kinship with these heads of state?
20. Pretend there is a man named George W. Bush, but that man is not you. Has that man made any mistakes in the last four years?
