If you can speak English in this country and work hard and have dreams, you can make it. That's the great story of America.
Yes, even if you butcher it like a petulant imbecile every time you open your stupid hole, and even if your dreams are to impose your will on your moral and intellectual betters.
What extraordinary political courage! Maybe next, those muckracking Democrats can issue a subpoena for Karl Rove's schnauzer, so he can also come down to Capitol Hill and piss in their faces. Maybe if they keep up this bold strategy for another year or so, Gonzales will resign and the Democrats can finally claim a great victory in order to stop all this oversight bullshit.
Of course, it's also possible a true miracle will happen, and the Democratic Eunuchs will spontaneously grow a functioning set of testicles. In that case, the worthless hacks WILL SERVE THE GODDAMN ROVE AND MIERS SUBPOENAS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN ISSUED.
cwnidog,
Though you couldn't, of course, be more correct that Bush is, and always has been, a lying sack of shit, I'm afraid that's a thoroughly unacceptable manner in which to refer to our Commander-in-Chief. Forget about the fact that the putulant imbecile is a war criminal and a mass murderer, or that he has spent the end of every day he's been in office squatting down and taking a heaping shit on the U.S. Constitution. All that may be true, but a letter I recently wrote to Salon in response to a May 10 War Room entry, "You Have More Bread Crumbs Than I Do," was nonetheless censored and deleted because, guess what: I called Bush a "lying sack of shit."
In response to my email asking why, I was told by a Salon functionary that there is a policy against "gross insults" against public figures, and that, while "he wished Bush were gone," he "doesn't want to read a publication that refers to him as a lying sack of shit." Instead, the publishers of Salon insist that letter say something such as the following:
"I don't think George Bush tells the truth, and I sure wish he weren't our Commander-in Chief anymore."
So don't forget: With its new letters policy, Salon is a publication that doesn't merely prohibit irrelevant or vicious personal attacks, but one where the delicate sensibilities and elevated sense of decorum of its staff members are valued more highly than the political views of those stupid enough to pay for the privilege of subscribing. (And make no mistake about it; calling Bush a "lying sack of shit" is, indeed, a political position.)
Well, with testimony that reflects this almost unimaginably dismissive contempt for the rule of law and the funndamental values of American democracy, clearly it's time for the Eunuchs (f.k.a. the Democratic Party) to put their foot down and get really tough. Specifically, they should forcefully announce that unless Karl Rove calls a press conference and asks forgiveness for fucking them in the ass for the past seven years, they're going to suggest that the grunting, half-human fanatics from Regent University be reduced from 95% of new hires at the Justice Department to only 75%.
That'll show the Republicans who's boss!!
Yup, not a hint of inconsistency, hypocrisy, or flip-flopping from a real conservative like George Allen; he's displayed a sneering contempt for porch monkeys from the word go, and sees no reason whatever to change his tune now. Nor, of course, is it the least bit surprising that Senator Macacawitz finds nigger-hatred (much less anti-Semitism) completely "irrelevant" to the ability to serve as President of the United States; indeed, it's clear that the good old "Republican base" that voted for him regards it as a profoundly laudatory character trait.
Nonetheless, there's no reason the rest of humanity ought to go along with his self-serving crap, and every time he has the balls to stick his snout out of his hole for the rest of his life, he should be asked, "When - and why - did you decide to stop calling black people niggers?"
Here's a paraphrase of what we'll inevitably get in response from the Eunuch Party (f.k.a. the Democrats):
"With all due respect, Mr. President, we can't toally agree with that assessement. When Attorney General Gonzales sat smirking during his Congressional testimony and essentially told us to go fuck ourselves, it made us believe that perhaps he did do something wrong. We don't want to go fuck ourselves, so we'd greatly appreciate it if you could please compromise with us. Do you think you could see your way to let Karl Rove and Harriet Miers testify about this matter too (under such circumstances, of course, as don't inconvenience them too much)? If that isn't completely agreeable to you, Mr. President, rest assured that we will quickly back down from this "demand" and immediately accede to whatever imperious demands and conditions you place on such testimony. We sure do appreciate this type of bipartisan coooperation; after all, we're all on the same side, aren't we?
