George Bush: A Clockwork President
Anthony Burgess' 1962 novel ( also Stanley Kubrick film) titled " A Clockwork Orange" has an anti-hero that resembles our President George Bush. Burgess wrote in the introduction," that a creature who can only perform good or evil is a clockwork orange. That it has the appearance of an organism -lovely with color and juice but is in fact only a clockwork to be wound up by God or the Devil for an almighty state".
And so Bush resembles Alex de Large. Alex has trouble with the truth and can't play it straight. He wont take instruction feels constrained and misunderstood if he's popular. Also Alex enjoys "ultra-violence". Burgess writes about a creature who lacks the human touch and sensitivity that follows from nuanced thinking.And so our President " doesn't do nuanced" and semi-shouts " bring'em on". And at the press conference yesterday continues to deny the tragic reality of the Iraq War.
We may end up needing a straight-jacket for this moron and a kind of " Ludovico Process" to try to get him right.
