US President George W Bush has won theInaugural World Bulldust Champion award. Over-whelming world-wide concensus the Bush is world's biggest bullduster.
Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) December 4, 2004 -- Australian businessman, Vietnam war veteran, and anti-Iraq war activist Roy Hopkins-Deacon today announced the winner of the award in Sydney.
"I surveyed friends and associates in more than 20 countries," said Hopkins-Deacon. "There was virtually unaminous agreement that the art of bulldusting has risen to new heights under President Bush. World-wide, the words 'George Bush' have become synonymous with 'Bull Dust,' What surprised me most about the survey was the levels of animosity and contempt ordinary people felt for President Bush: particulary regarding the 'Bloodbath for Democracy' in Iraq."
Hopkins-Deacon says that he started the award to bring attention to the deceit and dishonesty among politicians in general.
"There is something fundamentally wrong with our democracies when we knowingly and happily elect known liars to lead our countries. Some people in the survey said that if George W Bush was the best that the US democracy could offer; then the US should keep it all to themselves."
Hopkins-Deacon, who served in the Australian Army in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive of 1968; said that because he survived battle "by the skin of my teeth" he was vehemently opposed to the "Bloodbath for Democracy" in Iraq from the beginning.
"War must always be the absolutely last option," says Hopkins-Deacon, " but President Bush did not seem to understand that simple fact. In my opinion, the US presence in Iraq has set back the war on terrorism at least 10 years. The Bush policies can never win the war on terror simply because they are creating terrorists faster than they can kill them. By this measure, the war on terror is already lost."
The fact that President Bush was able to convince the American people otherwise shows that he is a worthy recipient of the Inaugural World Bulldust Champion Award.
Hopkins-Deacon also says that he started the award to try and inject some light-hearted humour into the extreme seriousness of the "Bloodbath for Democracy" in Iraq. "In the recent Australian and US elections, voters made the short-sighted decision to become co-warmongers with George Bush and John Howard. The anti-war movement doesn't know whether to laugh or cry" says Hopkins-Deacon. "My response to that is that I think our societies would be much better off if more people started laughing at these clowns we call our leaders".
The website will sell posters and postcards designed to prove that humour is more powerful than bulldust.
