The line between whore and pimp is hopelessly blurred.
The brown-gold metal-flake streak that I just watched go by on the highway was a 1972 Chevrolet El Camino. Beautiful car. A piece of american muscle that was crafted before Chevy and America in general said "fuck it" and decided to coast on their own shaky merits.
This car rolled off the assembly line in Detroit just before the first crippling blow to modern american politics was delivered and the red carpet was rolled out for Richard Milhous Nixon between the White House and that fateful helicopter.
The car survived unscathed but the country has had a subtle limp ever since. Now, thirty years later George W. Bush stands with crow-bar poised to take out its last good knee and permanently cripple the damn thing.
History will forever curse the day that this theatrically religious drunk was chosen over a dead-pan kook by a margin of 537 possibly fictional votes.
Why is he still in office? For the same reason people my age are dying everyday in Iraq long after the "mission" was aparently "accomplished". When Bush stood on the deck of that aircraft carrier under that enormous banner he looked exactly like a moral-less info-mercial personality trying frantically to sell some type of new-fangled blender that he had either never laid eyes on before or knew was a total piece of shit. The greasy little salesman has been peddling shit to his constituents since September 11, 2002.
While I would like to see the evil bastard suffer the same fate as Nixon (even though Nixon didn't really suffer all that much thanks to Gerald Ford) I know that it will never happen. Bush is not the bumbling idiot that everyone would like to make him out to be. Or, at least, those at the helm of this hell-ship aren't anyway. Bush has taken many precautions to prevent such a dismal end to his career. He has legalized the vast majority of the offenses that chased Nixon onto that helicopter.
The son of a bitch lies so blatantly that no one even takes notice. I have always said that if you have a grey jumpsuit, a handtruck and a white van you can rob any place that you want. As long as you look like you know what you are doing and are supposed to be doing it, no one will question you. Just walk into a convenience store, grab a bag of chips and wave them at the cashier as you walk out the door.
This is Bush's approach to presidency.
Why are we not stopping him?
We should have had the bastard grilled in front of a jury years ago. But instead, nation of befuddled cashiers that we are, we just watch him come in, day after day, and walk out. Everyday anothe bag of chips. We treat him like some homeless drifter who has made such a habit out f this that we have simply come to expect it and just let it happen.
I would call the members of the Bush administration whores but that would imply that the work that they do is unpleasant. But they seem to get a kick out of it (as evidenced by that stupid hyena smirk that always seems to peek out from behind Bush's facade at the most inappropriate times like dirt that you didn't sweep far enough under the rug) so a more appropriate title is simply "greedy bastards".
The scope of the people employed by this administration is staggering. The roster of course includes the standard array of scumbag politicians, however, it also includes quite a few religious authorities who came in handy during both elections by helping to lock down the critical "christian" vote. This was the first crack in the now crumbling separation of church and state. How could such a partition stand when it was the church who gave the current state its power?
Also on the payroll is a wide variety of "scientists" (as a biologist I cringe when I use that word to describe these reptiles) who whore away their credibility everyday to "research" (cringe) that says anything Bush wants the people to hear. The most blatant example of this is the research that claimed that drilling in ANWR would not effect the wildlife in the region at all.
If there is a benevolent God then there can be no afterlife because if there is, Washington, Adams, Franklin and Jefferson are all shitting their collective pants in the great hereafter at this very moment.
