it's profoundly disturbing that some Americans seem to think that utter, cloying stupidity is a good characteristic for a leader.
It's important to have a leader that can represent the population, isn't it?
Why should Bush give a damn if anyone of you like his poem? Doesnt seem as if he wanted to win a prize for it. He wrote it for his wife. She likes it. Perfect
If its no fun why do it? Dance like noone is watching...

I don't think she would read it publicly if she liked it. It was a spiteful 'poem' and she read it out of spite in return. If I'm any judge, anyways...
To be fair, he wasn't submitting that to any poetry journals or anything. Proly just a cute joke of some sort at the end of his letter, although I suppose if he writes the way he speaks adding an extra joke would be unnnecessary.

A classic! The world lost an artist in George W. Bush.
I just can't think of any sound reason why Mrs. Bush would ridicule her husband like this. She MUST have known that it's embarassing. If not, it's frightening to think about what kind of literature she wants people to read in her function as "first reader of the nation"...

The Great Leader has written 13,569 poems that have been lauded throughout the land as the best the people have ever seen! He has personally overseen the education of all poets in the US, visiting 2,569 schools around the country and giving personal tips to poets!
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
Well I have to admit that the poet itself was pretty horrible, but I guess it was personal so it doesn't matter and he didn't try to make the poet of the century anyway. But then again I wonder why she read that outloud to the media, if it was personal.
In da butt.

THE UNDEFEATED SUPERCITIZEN w:4 t:2 l:1 (DON'T ASK!)
"God is dead" - Nietzsche. "Nietzsche is dead" - God.
Fricking hilarious, and deeply sad. But no match for the awesome, real-life poetry of Donald Rumsfeld, as documented here.
One sample:
Clarity
I think what you'll find,
I think what you'll find is,
Whatever it is we do substantively,
There will be near-perfect clarity
As to what it is.
And it will be known,
And it will be known to the Congress,
And it will be known to you,
Probably before we decide it,
But it will be known.

"I have as much authority as the pope. I just don't have as many people who believe it." — George Carlin
No. I'm deeply saddened that our president, the leader of the free world and the product of our best schools, is writing the kind of things most of us wrote on Valentine's cards when we were 12. I don't expect him do be a poet, but having a way with words is one sign of intelligence -- one more than our Potato in Chief exhibits.
