Poor Barack, can't find the political will to close Gitmo and bring the prisoners there to either trial or release.
What a conundrum! What a puzzle! What a terrible mess!
I have a very easy way to close Gitmo, and to do it with FULL BIPARTISAN SUPPORT!!!
That's right, FULL BIPARTISAN SUPPORT!!!
Yes, a miracle I know, but true. Just go below the fold and find out how...
Despite the fact the word "bipartisan" is a meaningless and harmful construct, I use it to describe what would happen if we SIMPLY RENAMED GITMO!!!
Yes, President Obama should take the bull by the horns and rename the infamous prison camp, so that everyone in the world can refer to it appropriately.
And the new name for GITMO???
Are you ready???
OK, here it is:
"The George Bush Prison for Foreign Nationals"
But everyone would start calling it BushMo!!!
That's right BUSHMO!!!
Now why would a simple name change cause the closure of Bushmo you ask?
Simply this:
The (billionaire)Bush family would be so embarrassed to have their most (in)famous son's name immortalized in the name of a prison, that they would pull every string they could and get the damn place closed.
Can you just imagine Barbara's embarrassment? What would the girls at her bridge club say? Oh the shame of it!
And Poppy Bush? His gentlemen friends at the golf club snickering about "Bushmo"? Not to be countenanced, no never.
And little George?
I am sure he would initially be pleased and delighted with the honor that having a prison named after him would confer, but then even he might get the joke, and maybe even figure out that the joke is on him? Perhaps he would.
So my suggestion:
Rename Gitmo, and make it Bushmo.
Works for me, what do you guys think?
