Move On, Folks, Nothing to See Here

E-mails missing. Documents sent to Congress redacted to the point of absurdity.

Just how stupid they think we are is evident by the latest things coming out of Washington.

And they are right. We are stupid. Not people who agree with what I write about these thieves, although we wallow in our own stupidity when we expect the House of Representatives to move articles of impeachment against this guy.

We are as stupid as they expected and depended on us to be. The news media people like David Gregory who Bush targeted early on in his administration during a news conference for having the audacity to address the French Prime Minister in French. How dare he show his edumucation in front of so many people!!! The same David Gregory who then danced at the Correspondent's Dinner like the little whore that he is, acting as buffoon for Karl Rove's arrogant in your face white man's rant.

We are as stupid as they counted on us to be. Everything that is being done during this administration had its prelude. It's like Hitler with Mein Kampf. If people had read the book they wouldn't have been shocked when he started killing Jews. He practically came out and said he was going to kill large numbers of Jews. And every household in the Third Reich had a copy of Mein Kampf so the excuse "We didn't know" doesn't really cut it.

Three consecutive administrations in a row prior to this one attacked other countries without any wholesale shock or complaint from the American people. A populace shamed by the loss to Viet Nam learned nothing from that loss as it cheered on Reagan (Grenada), Bush (Panama, Iraq), and Clinton (Yugoslavia hiding behind NATO).

Not only didn't the American people complain, the fucking Congress never complained!! They watched their war making powers taken away from them and sat on the sidelines, either out of loyalty to a party apparatus or because they were afraid the mood of the American people was in favor of what the president was doing and, well, who'd want to lose a gig like working in congress, right? I mean, have you seen how rich these fuckers become once they've been there awhile? It's almost like people come to their offices and leave money in shopping bags for them or people call them on the phone and tell them which IPOs to get in on or what stocks to short.

Sure wish my broker did that for me.

Yeah, the Bush administration had us figured out. They can go right on doing what they're doing. There are plenty of shills out there who will defend their shredding of the constitution and the destruction of checks and balances. Everyday Americans were bought off a couple of years ago with their big tax rebates so this little bastard and his crew can just do whatever the fuck they want. The rabble has been paid off. Because, that's all Bushies and their ilk know.

My ex wife and I received $800 from the gubmint. Other families received more. When I complained that this was a cheap way to try to trick the American people everyone around me asked "When is the last time the government gave you $800?"

Now, I couldn't answer that, but I knew that this money wasn't really given in good faith. There were strings attached, the strings that were part of a giant blindfold I was supposed to tie around my head and over my eyes so i wouldn't see the wheelbarrows full of money being carted into the house of the richest guy in town.

As an added incentive to make me feel American I was told to run right out and spend that money. Yeah, that's right. Fucking country has a negative net savings amount per family but, shit, who cares? I mean, I needed a new....geez, I clean forgot what we did with that $800. I know we didn't pay any fucking bills with it, fuck no. Pissed it away right proper, we did, the good old American way.

So don't bother making comparisons to the 18 1/2 minute gap in Nixon's tapes and the missing e-mails. Everyone knows the internets are mysterious pipes and tubes with all kinds of twisty turns. Any kid who's watched Timmy Turner on The Fairly Odd-Parents" as he surfs along the screen can tell you that. I'm sure there are enough technologically-challenged members of Congress in both houses that Rove and Company figured this would skip right past them.

And the Republican staffers on the hill who do know that anything can be retrieved off a hard drive or a server by a good forensics technician will just lie to their member of congress telling him or her to stand up to the Democrats, they're just on a witch hunt. I mean, you know what happens when you delete that e-mail from your favorite grandkid, right? You can't get it back for anything.

Tell that to the guy doing 5 years for having kiddie porn on his computer that he was sure he had deleted. But we can't count on the FBI to retrieve a few million e-mail messages. Instead we have to worry that the guy in charge of the FBI as in the Attorney General is busy telling people how to FBI-proof their files and servers.

According to the USA PATRIOT Act, internet service providers are supposed to archive all actions taken by their clients and keep them handy for government perusal. I don't recall reading anything in the act (and yes, unfortunately, I have no life and have read it through once) that gives the people who provide internet service to the Republican National Committee a pass on the archiving requirement.

Fuck Monica Goodling. Make her get her lying Christian ass up to Congress where she can be asked a question and then refuse to answer it the good old-fashioned way. Then offer her limited immunity. She just decided she wasn't going to show up?? Hello, contempt of Congress?? Aren't any of you bastards lawyers?

It's a fucking shame that it was easier to get rid of Don Imus than it is to get rid of the thief-in-chief and his production crew.

But no tears for Don. Now I don't have to explain to my daughter with Tourette's Syndrome what his side-kick McCord means when he blames Tourette's for Imus's outbursts.

I'm glad you're gone, Don. Let's see how long your ho sticks around now.
