ROYAL LEGAL NEWS

THE FRENCH REPORT THE LEGAL HEIRS OF MARIE ANTOINETTE ARE SUING George Bush for besmirching her relative good reputation.  They request lots of looting loot in compensation.  These reports are not true.  But they could be.  When informed that the people had no bread, Marie Antoinette infamously said, “Let them eat cake.”   And then she lost her head.

FOR PEOPLE WHO MAKE LESS BREAD, who now have nothing to eat, George Antoinette Bush sends a message loud and clear.  They must eat something else, less sweet and more pungent than any bakery cake.  We must all now eat what Bush serves up. 

WE ARE ALL SO ROYALLY SCREWED  In this Age of Unenlightenment, victims are told to take responsibility for others’ mistakes not their own. Victims are asked to be patient in their hunger.  Wait a moment more please, then die.  And do it off camera, sils vous plaites, while Bush plays at being king without care. Or is it queen?

WE ARE WITNESS TO ANCIENT TRAGEDY MADE NOW AGAIN NEW  I blame the parents specifically the mother. When you get down to it, George Bush is truly a fortunate son of a five star bitch.  Tearful, sobby W is the son of George H.W. Bush, but SOB Bush is the spawn of spiteful BARBARA, the white witch.  Warm welcome now for the cold tale of George W. Bush, Oedipus Putz, now also known as Antoinette.

MARIE ANTOINETTE MIGHT TELL BUSH THE SECRET To avoid losing your head, first don’t lose your heart.  Sir, we are such stuff as bad dreams are made on.  The fault, dear brute, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.  So might say Marie, were her head still here with breath.  Reports that we will hear complaint to Bush by Antoinette’s heirs are still untrue, but other complaints and a new republic await Bush tomorrow.

HAS THEIR EVER BEEN a leader more out of touch with the led?

Thanks Dubya! Republic of T notes that Al Gore was helping hurricane victims evacuate from New Orleans and flying them to his home state of Tennessee. He kept these actions under the radar without any fanfare unlike Bush's Friday photo-ops.  Last but not least, I recommend reading or watching Keith Olbermann's hard-hitting editorial from yesterday evening.

Most outstanding! Bravo! Bravo!

As an aside, have you noticed his hair has turned blond? I think he knows his political beheading is coming.

Ok. Now I hope not to spoil your fun, because myth is not always the truth. And so too is the sad tale of Marie Antoinette:

Marie Antoinette was born November 2, 1755 in Vienna, Austria. She was the youngest and most beautiful daughter of Francis I and Maria Theresa, Emperor and Empress of the Holy Roman Empire. Marie Antoinette was brought up believing her destiny was to become queen of France. She married the crown prince of France in 1770. Four years later she became queen when her husband was crowned King Louis XVI (House of Bourbon).

The stories of Antoinette's excesses are vastly overstated. In fact, rather than ignoring France's growing financial crisis, she reduced the royal household staff, eliminating many unnecessary positions that were based solely on privilege. In the process she offended the nobles, adding their condemnation to the scandalous stories spread by royal hopefuls. It was the nobility that balked at the financial reforms the government ministers tried to make, not the King and Queen, who were in favor of change. In truth, Antoinette and Louis were placed in harms' way not only by elements of their personalities, but by the changing face of political and social ideology in the 18th and 19th centuries.

In 1789 a mob descended on the palace at Versailles and demanded the royal family move to the Tuilerie palace inside Paris. From that point on the King and Queen were virtual prisoners. Antoinette sought aid from other European rulers including her brother, the Austrian Emperor, and her sister, Queen of Naples. After a failed attempt to flee Paris in 1791 Antoinette continued to seek aid from abroad. When Austria and Prussia declared war on France, she was accused of passing military secrets to the enemy. On August 10, 1792 the royal family was arrested on suspicion of treason and imprisoned. On January 21, 1793 King Louis XVI was convicted and executed on the guillotine.

Antoinette was cruely treated during her final days of captivity. Her children were taken from her, and her best friend, the Princess de Lambelle, was killed and her severed head was put on a pole and paraded in front of the Queen. Antoinette followed her husband to the guillotine on October 16, 1793. She was executed without proof of the crimes for which she was accused.

That being said, let us hope that we can get to the truth about Acme, Inc.'s push for war and the blatant robbery of the companies treasury.

And sometimes, though not steeped in fact, myth makes for a better vehicle of describing today's truth.

[K]ing without care... or is it queen?

More like one of the Jokers, if you ask me...

I think, in New Orleans, the proper toss-off would be "Let them eat king cake."

I'd like to say this is one of your best, but I think that about all of them.

I have always been of the strong opinion that Gore would have been a great president. Too bad it didn't happen...

[UnapologeticAtheist]

Rook's "correction" is even more disturbing-- so even Marie was more in touch with her people, trying to get by on less, and trying to make a difference, when those-with-money smeared her good name and eventually got her killed?

So what Bush is doing is WORSE? Ooooooooh good.

Let me (and McCain) eat cake...

Now hear this chord...

Brilliant post, Cher Amie, but please don't call Babs a "witch" - not even with a small "w". We get enough bad publicity - Goddess help us if we become associated with the Katrina Conservatives.
