Bush's "Morals and Ethics" adviser condemns eating ice-cream cones!?!?

Karl Zinsmeister, G. Bush's 'Morals and Ethics' advisor (hey, don't laugh Demos -- you've got Ted Kennedy and Jore Biden on the Semate Ethics Committee!) -- published a White Paper naming his chief concerns about US morality.





Near the top of the list was Mr. Z.'s florid statements about a lewd practice he sees as "descended from cats and dogs", and which should be "confined, if necessary at all, to private places so as not to offend the general public". What is the awful degenerate behavior so threatening to decorum and even Our Way of Life?





Hold onto your hats -- it's EATING ICE CREAM CONES!!!


Hundreds of words spewed out about this by a man with the President's ear -- chosen by him in fact to gauge moral sensibilty. Just when you thing the Bush administration has reached its limit for abject insanity, another summit comes into sight.





Any delusional flag-wavers got some explanation for this beyond "Beat it if you don't like it"? Been there, done that -- 40 years ago.

Ah another bushite with his head in the gutter.
Reply:Ice cream cones - the end of civilization! I bet this poor guy doesn't have much to do on any given day so he has probably gone insane.





Do you believe that the president believes the same things as those who work for him? I don't think it is fair to assume he does. If this is serious he should fire him for being an idiot.
Reply:Nah - I got no explanation for that. Strange parallel though, an old gal pal used to think it was a sin to eat ice cream on a stick... I moved on.


But I will tell ya, it IS a sin to eat a good steak without BBQ sauce.... specificly - Sweet baby ray's.
Reply:And this is surprising HOW exactly??
Reply:The bizarre world of Zinsmeister is only a pale phantasm compared to the full blooded tomfoolery and intense jackass wrongheadedness of George W. Remember W believes in the Rapture Prophecies and that he has to stuff the Holy Land with Jews (although today’s ersatz Jews have no Biblical provenance whatsoever!) so that the Messiah can make an appearance. He believes the Jews will then be thrown into eternal damnation for their sins and he will live happily ever after at His Master's right hand. Presumably with the wailing neo-cons providing the theme music from below.
Reply:*L* Clearly, you've never seen me eat an ice cream cone, or you would understand.





Okay, that visual you probably didn't need any way.





What this reminds me of, seriously, and horribly, is the grocer in Iraq who offended a local mullah because he displayed his vegetables "erotically." Apparently the tomatoes were too close to the celery or something. When the grocer failed to display all vegetables in a more demure fashion less suggestive of a phallus, he was executed.





With this sort of preoccupation with all the wrong things, it's not surprising to me that we've gone to hell in a handbasket.
