Why does the Presidential circus continue to captivate me every election cycle? Haven't I grown a bit numb from the same game being played every leap year? It's like the callous on my heel... shouldn't layer after jaded layer of incredulity shield me from getting caught up in the maelstrom of lies, fractured promises and jingoistic flag-waving? Can I pose another question without offering any answer?
I am flabbergasted that this election hinges on anything other than this bastard of a "war" in which we're engaged. Not that there aren't other things to be upset over, but am I the only one wondering why "impeachment" isn't being whispered in the alabaster halls of Washington DC?
Saw "The Hunting of the President" a few weeks ago and it opened afresh the old Clinton wounds. They impeached his oversexed ass because he lied about a BLOW JOB. Yet, we're locked into a political morASS because a morON ignored prudent data and barrelled in to get the guy "who tried to kill his dad." Dave Chapelle's "Black Bush" sketch nailed it perfectly (Please watch the reruns on Comedy Central until the new season debuts).
It goes without saying, but Bush has us in a horrible mess. I can't decide whether limited intelligence or raw hubris is in the driver's seat, but we are on a highway to hell for sure. The toll booth is coming up at exit 11/02, and Dubya has a sack of quarters. I wonder if his aim is good enough to get him another pass.
And speaking of the election (2000, this time), can I get the GOP to stop with the "537 vote win" crap? Now that Katherine Harris' shenanigans have fully come to light, it's patently obvious that Bush should NEVER have taken the oath of office. Any way you slice it, 2,000+ willfully disenfranchised Black voters equals Bush stealing the election. God bless Rep. Corinne Brown even if her strident invective earned her a temporary restriction on speaking on the House floor.
O.K. First post done... I feel oddly disquieted and wonder if there's anything fresh to be said about this crap. If you post to a blog and nobody reads it, does it make a sound?
