A farewell tribute to George W. Bush. Secret Agent X-9, Modest Mouse

Just a short farewell tribute to a man who will be remembered in history for years to come.

A lot of the footage is from Fahrenheit 9/11, which I have no right to use. Sorry.

The song is Secret Agent X-9 by Modest Mouse, from Sad Sappy Sucker. I also have no right to use it.

Bush's presidency seemed like this big show, with all these costume changes and elaborate events. He's so sneaky and conniving, with that innocently idiotic look on his face, that he just seems like a secret agent to me.

If you liked it, check out my blog on politics, http://shortcircuitnewswire.wordpress.com, have a look at the project I'm trying to start to organize potential third-party voters, http://capitalocracy.wordpress.com, and check out my contributions to www.operationitch.com.

Please leave a comment and tell me what you think. By the way, I came up with the idea to do this right before the Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at Bush, but when I saw the footage, I was like, yeah, this is going to be in the video.

one of the greatest, and most sincere presidents america has ever had. He kept the country safe for 8 yrs. A hell of alot more than clinton ever did, he was to busy desicrating the oval office with the young intern, and then lied about it.

[Capitalocracy]

wow, I thought you dinosaurs were extinct. In case you haven't heard, Bush reduced antiterrorism spending and ignored intelligence indicating terrorists were planning to hijack planes to use as weapons before 9/11, then used 9/11 as an excuse to divert public money to his friends in the weapons industry by waging a war based on lies which was planned years before. I know Clinton was a crappy president, like all modern presidents, but Bush takes the cake.

[MikeofWyoming]

No, were not extinct. We are of all ages and have some common factors.

1. We were raised to respect.

2. Our mom and dad spent time with us, not smoking pot while we watched tv.

3. we work hard for our money and think the rest of America should do the same. People like you are a dime a dozen. sorry were not all gone yet.

[Capitalocracy]

wow, you sure do think you know a lot about me based solely on my political preferences

you shouldn't talk about respect, not if you make assumptions about people, and definitely not if you're a fan of the most divisive and inhumane mass murderer we've had as a president within any living man's lifetime (I say that because Jackson could compete in those areas)

[MikeofWyoming]

Did a comment hurt your fealings? You should have thicker skin if your going to toss stupid comments about people and politics.

[Capitalocracy]

haha, don't you just wish it did?

still making assumptions

[MikeofWyoming]

@tehpevis Hippies wouldn't work at all. I call you an American voicing their opinion like they should.

[MikeofWyoming]

@egcroan That's a shame your only two choices were a parent that smoked pot and another that beat you and your mom. I am not worthy to make another human being ashamed of their entire nation based on a comment. You should love your nation, it's realy not that bad. I work for the Union pacific railroad switchyard in Greenriver Wyoming. My office has 3 extra American flags. Come by and ask for Mike and I'll give you one free of charge.

[egcroan]

@MikeofWyoming I would rather have a pot smoking father than a beer drinker who beats his wife & children. Wow what a wrong stereotype you choose to reinforce. Narrow minded idiots like you make me ashamed to be an American.

[egcroan]

@Capitalocracy Don't confuse people about Andrew Jackson because he is on the 20 Dollar bill they think he was a hero, and know nothing of his going against the courts and forcing the Native American's off their land because a Gov'nr from Georgia thought their was gold on their land. Don't even try and tell these people the truth about Jackson as they don't want to give the credit for his military to the Choctaw Chief who was the real Military Mastermind that Jackson took credit for his actions.

[ILikeFood0460]

he's a fucking comedian. he's fucking hysterical!

[steven8807]

KUDOS!!! 

[Markau102]

Love this song. I remember it from my childhood. You just raped it. There is no fucking way George bush was anything but a fucking idiot. No possible fucking way. He's like you. Stupid to the fucking bone.

[masterfunk214]

if he dident fuck everything up he probably would have been a cool president

[dudesons441]

Post industrial society!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tehpevis]

Why should we even have a president to begin with? And, even more importantly, why are politicians paid such 'ungodly' amounts of money while the average American works a low-pay shit job and poisons him/herself with the kind of "Food" we have here? Call me a hippie all you want.
