The State of the Union?


One word: "It kicks ass!"

I'm sorely tempted to heap up the adjectives, but why bother? This was warmed over turkey dinner. From 2003.

We can disagree...as long as you capitulate with everything I say.

I want to compromise...as long it's only you who gives anything up.

We can debate...but you are forbidden from bringing up the inconvenient fact of my five years of lies, incompetence and serial reckless fuckuppery.

I want to keep this civil...as long as my racist, Christopathic Party gets to continue to march unmolested under Karl Rove's banner and keep calling you cowards and traitors for political advantage.

Ignore everything we have said and done and not done for the last twenty years -- and in the last twenty minutes -- and bend over.



Well I guess I'm just an uncivil isolationist to point out that if you meant a single, fucking word of what you said, Mr. President -- if you had as much as a thimbleful of integrity -- you would fire that ratfucker Rove.

Tomorrow. 8:00 a.m.

Period.

Because I can't take the "Trust me" gospel too seriously from a man with blood on his teeth and Karl Rove still by his side and running his White House, instead of behind chicken-wire and trading cigarettes to get the good trailer and his hair done up real purdy for his conjugal visits from Jeff Gannon.

This is the bitter and divided world you and your minions created, Mr. President. And you did it deliberately, calculatedly and with premeditation.

On September 11, 2001, without earning or deserving it, you were handed a Truly United States of America. And for tawdry, partisan motives you and Karl and the rest of your Shitkicker Mafia decided to drive a venomous wedge straight through its heart without any regard of the poison you were unleashing into the body politic.

Congratulations; you have reaped what you have sown, and if you want anyone but your tailor and bootblack to believe that you're sincere about cleaning up the mess you made, it falls to you make a show of good faith.

So fire the fucker. Or shut the fuck up.

Because in the Dubya Era a person can be a Good American, or a Good Republican, but they can no longer be both.

And that, Mr. President, is quite obviously the world you wanted all along.

Excellent rant, Driftglass. Short, sweet, and hot as a blowtorch with righteous anger.

Oh yes: In this fifth year of our Glorious Emperor's benevolent and protective rule, the world begins anew with each dawning day. Carping on yesterday's "Oopsies" -- i.e. the reeking mound of bloody carnage looming behind him -- is not merely uncivil, it's limp-wristed, traitorous defeatism!

"Hindsight is not wisdom."

And I'll bet Little Boots just felt all tingly at the profundity of this statement, delivered, no doubt, with his trademark smirk.

The problem is, literally every feature of this flaming Tar Baby was predicted well in advance of the first soldier setting foot in Iraq. By experts. In public. Including, in the finest stroke of irony, his own Poppy, years before he donned the Purple.

Which is a little something called "foresight". And the man who refused to listen to it has no business lecturing anyone on "wisdom".

Lord, how I despise this preening homunculus! He makes me ashamed not merely for my country, but my species.

The really sad part is NOT, that he not only fucked up this country by reopening ancient civil war wounds now dividing the country, or is doing much the same in other countries particularly in the middle east, BUT, all this passes before the publics of the world, fabricated by the "specticle", and normalized as ."business as usual".

There are some days,when even a peace loving compassionate person such as myself seriously considers the daydream of an Insurrection.Armed and forced removal of the Criminal Elephant that's infected the nation.

But,it's only a dream,nothing more.

I couldn't help thinking of all the hours of coaching it took him to get as smooth as he was last night. My image of his days: coaching for appearances and two hours at the gym with nice meals in between. I doubt he ever planned anything, he just follows The Big Guys' Plan very faithfully.

It sure worked out as a career path for him. I wish my retirement were as secure.

Read "Bush's Brain". It's a hoot! That Karl, what a jokester. He's a slime a minute. Driftglass, I think you've already read this book. It's a bit repetitive, but the good parts are a plenty. I don't think Kerry read it, and he needed to, desperately. Oh well. WAFN.

wow. this beats my response ("so how come karl rove gets to keep calling us sissies?") by a mile.

jurassicpork said...

Ha ha ha! I'd live-blogged the SOTE last night at the risk oif losing my sanity and having both my middle fingers freeze in the obscenely salutary position.

And I'll be going into it at great length and depth in this w/e's Assclown of the Week.

And there are a LOTLOTLOT who agree with us. I deliver mail in a small town in a large northeastern state. I spoke with three people today, from VERY disparate circumstances and allAllALL had the same response. Contempt, hatred, and shame at who resides in the White House. If only we could rouse them to action, but the Patriot act would be used on us. That, of course(and I'm preaching to the choir here), is its real purpose. With Alito we are truly fucked.

I told my FIL the same thing. That he was loyal to the Repub party, not America.
He actually defended loyalty oaths.
I lived in Germany in 1963 and knew many loyalty oath signers. He didn't care for the apt comparison.
I am not allowed to discuss politics with the traiterous Nazi anymore, which is fine by me. I was starting to hate the man and I don't want to do that.

I cannot believe how hard it is to find some good advice for my business (or at least a good experience to share). This is much harder then finding information via a search engine.

Hey this is great!
It's funny how I was looking for this type of thing and found your post. It pulled me right out of my researching on rash toddler products and allowed me to sit down for a nice read. Thanks for your great job. I think I'll hang out on your blog for a while and be done with rash toddler stuff for now. Have a good day.
