Compliment Or Insult?
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: July 10, 2008
The other day, the New York Times ran a story of a thinly veiled attempt to insult our president. It told how in San Francisco the Presidential Memorial Commission intended to ask voters to change the name of a water treatment plant to the "George W. Bush Sewage Plant." Apparently the plan was "hatched in a bar" and is proposed as "an appropriate honor for a truly unique president."
Upon first reading the article, I felt it to be a direct insult to Mr. Bush. However, after some reflection and contemplation I change my mind. The man has most definitely had a very large share of sewage passed to him for cleaning during his tenure. If those supporting this intended satirical slam spend any time in thinking over their effort, they will see it would actually turn out to be a compliment. I have a feeling, because of that, it probably will not pass!
