Ahem, I don't know if any of you saw it today but David Brooks, one of the Loyal Sunbeams for the Unitary Executive dealt a real whopper in his op-ed piece in the Times. He says we don't need no stinken U-turn into the passe Goldwater-Reagan era, what we need is: "security leads to freedom". Whaaaa?!!!!!Cripes what a load. These remorseless gits really do need to be bundled off to the Pashtun Taliban and offered as replacements for the fermented goats they use in their Mountain Pony Polo games outside Kabul. Speaken of our Arabian friends, it would appear that the Deecider failed to send more of his Mystic Suffi Love Poetry to the House of Saud after they held hands at the ranch a while ago. Shucks. These boys are milking this Federal Attorney's issue like mad because nothing much will come of it and no doubt, they will make their Democrat assailers look bad whilst continuing to prosecute their Low Fat Reich Plan on the ijit electorate. Anybody else for chartering Brooksy boy a trip to the Kabul Dead Goat Mountain Pony Polo Games?

Boy, is that embarrassing! How any sentient individual could point and say with pride "those are my leaders!" is utterly beyond me. As for Bush's standup--not only was it tasteless, it wasn't even funny. Watching all of the press toadies roaring with laughter at his poorly written and lamely delivered "jokes" destroyed what little shreds of respect I still had for the press corps.

But I did see The Tele-Tubbies with Matt and Meredith...along with NBC's David Gregory doing some Hip-Hop renditions with Carl Rove, both performers in Tuxedos...Add to this some Comedy spots by The Decider and you may well come away with a better understanding of Jefferson's observation that: a functional Democracy must be contingent on an intelligent and well informed public...Thank you Thomas---THIS SPECTECLE, THIS FARCE, IS INDICATIVE OF AND AIMED AT A GENERAL LEVEL OF IDIOCY! IT'S AN INSULT! A JOKE!...and worse than that?

I wonder who the next Bushie will be to 'fess up to what other people did.
