Mayan Priests To Purify Site Of "Bad Spirits" After Bush Visit

AP | JUAN CARLOS LLORCA | March 9, 2007 09:11 AM

Mayan priests will purify a sacred archaeological site to eliminate "bad spirits" after
President Bush visits next week, an official with close ties to the group said Thursday.

"That a person like (Bush), with the persecution of our migrant brothers in the United States, with the wars he has provoked, is going to walk in our sacred lands, is an offense for the Mayan people and their culture," Juan Tiney, the director of a Mayan nongovernmental organization with close ties to Mayan religious and political leaders, said Thursday.

The should offer up services to cities and towns in the US. I'm sure a lot of folks would pay them to delouse their communities after Bush makes a visit.

Ya know, it’s painfully obvious – at least to some – that our president has all the tact of a bug. I really don’t like having to complain about the guy so much, but he is the nations figurehead and as such I believe he should conduct himself with a little dignity.

Remember the time he couldn’t find the exit at a press conference in Beijing, or cursing with a mouth full of food while talking to Tony Blair at last year’s G-8 Summit, and at the same Summit trying to forcibly give Germanys Chancellor Merkel a backrub (she reacted like someone had just put an octopus down her blouse), or how about “Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

And then there’s the time he mangled a G chord on a guitar during the New Orleans disaster - there is an endless string of gaffs by the man who represents our country abroad, but the pièce de résistance has to be reading “My Pet Goat” during the 9-11 attacks.

Ok I can hear you now, “that’s just petty and vindictive”… but I actually feel embarrassed for him at times and a little sorry for him too, but when you think about it, is it really so hard to understand why he, (and the United States by association), has such an unpopular standing in other countries.

Some of you will say these things don’t matter and that this is just sour grapes, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, (as I am mine - which is all this is), but I honestly think dignity and at least some semblance of intelligence are important to the office of the president.

In a few months there will be a change (can’t come too soon for me), and I for one hope that whoever is elected, at the very least, doesn’t drop his dog while the cameras are rolling.

Are you saying that you can hardly wait for Bush to do some bush clearing? (yeah, lame ... but it's Friday)

I blame the Bush administration, myself.

Oh, wait; we're already doing that. Well, carry on.

how weird would that be... running into GW at the Feed Store over in Crawford or in Waco.. (I actually own property about 50 miles from his ranch)....

"Hey George.. how's it hanging? Picking up some range cubes for that fine livestock..? oh yeah, you only raise mesquite trees - and just so you can have something to chop down, right?... I totally agree with you that a pre-emptive brush clearing was well within your authority as El Patron of Rancho Busho.. you are the brush clearing decider, no doubt.."

I've never heard of this much Presidental bashing since Nixon. Course back then you COULD bash the president and not be called a terrorist.

Suddenly my own country doesn't look as bad.

Reminds me of a line from Emma - Mr Knightly is talking about one of the other men and he says something like - "I can not like him, he ofends me"

Well..... I quite enjoy a Bush bash, but I was a little disappointed when I got here. This guy is pretty much full of shit. All it takes is one majorly erronius statement and the complete thought gets tossed out the window. I'm all for his comment about Bushole provoking wars, but if anything he's been better to illegal mexicans than any president we've ever had. The silent invasion progresses as we speak and nobody does anything about it, aside from the one or two stories that will pop up here and there about factory workers being rounded up and sent back to placate the masses who are pissed off about illegals getting free healthcare and not paying into Social Security and FED tax. Boo Hoo..... If you want to be a citizen, get in line like the rest of the world does and how my great grandparents did.

If Bush, or any politicians for that matter, were at all serious about keeping illegals out, they would have rounded up the lot of them and shipped them back when they protested in the streets and shut cities down months ago. It's not as if they didn't have two weeks advance notice to prepare for that.

I still think Bush is an asshole, in this instance, for the exact opposite reason Mr. Tiney says.
