Oops! There goes the Presidency!
I must admit to licking my chops over the prospect of a complete meltdown within the Republican power base the last few weeks. AFter last November's distastrous Presidential election (Kerry was a groan-inducing cardboard cutout, the election was rigged), I kind of tuned out of my usual activist political news combing and friend-spamming. But the rumblings in the wretched bowels of the inner sanctum of the current regime in power has pricked my ears up. I'm like the cat who rears up on his hind legs, silent and still, nose twitching in the wind for the scent of prey.
And our prey has materialized.
Tom De Lay has been indicted on conspiracy charges stemming from a racketeering scam. Senate Leader Bill Frist is under investigation by the SEC for selling millions in stock (uh oh!) JUST before the stock tanked (his brother is the head of the company; insider trading anyone?); Colin Powell's ex-aid when the Colin was Sectretary of State has just come out, guns blazing, full-on calling it a "Cheney cabal" bent on twisting intelligence to suit their needs in the buildup to the war (better late than never); Harriet Mier is upsetting those poor right-wing Bible thumpers for not hating abortion or fags enough; and, low and behold, Patrick Fitzgerald is about to ask the Federal Grand Jury for indictments against KARL ROVE and SCOOTER LIBBY, the two most corrupt and disgusting public figures ever to slime there way to the top of the shit heap.
This last little bit of sick smelling bile could even climb so far as to threaten poor little Dickwad Cheney. Hate to cause his pacemaker to skip a beat, but guess what Dick? Your shit is going down. You see, it's against the LAW to reveal the name of an undercover agent, even if that agent's husband is going around ruining your little plan to scare Americans into a war that never needed to be. It sucks when a guy with solid credentials like Joe Wilson, an experienced diplomat and expert in uranium programs around the world, goes to Niger and finds out that loe and behold, that yellowcake memo was indeed a forgery (obvious to anyone) and Iraq never bought yellowcake uranium from them. Oops!
But we can't have someone going around and exposing the lousy set-up that was meant to give basis for invading a sovereign nation illegally! Where would the justification come from if it wasn't the everpresent threat of a "mushroom cloud"?
The Administration was downright criminal in its use of Sept. 11th in all the speeches in the run-up to the war. I remember literally screaming at the television whenever Rummy, Cheney, Bush or Condi pulled that bullshit maneuver. How is it that an amateur newsjunkie (myself) can see through the lies and connect the dots to know that this was a conspiracy? I saw it all the way up. I knew it was coming before the dust settled from the twin towers falling. They were gearing up to use it all to go into Iraq, sanity-be-damned.
But no matter how they manipulated Congress to pass laws and no matter how many Executive Orders shutting down access to papers and no matter how much they strong-armed the weak-kneed Democrats (Kerry, Clinton, Feinstein, Biden, Lieberman - who all voted to give BUSH war powers in the buildup to the attack, essentially condoning this insanity; I will NEVER forgive you), the truth is finally catching up to them, ripping open their protective little bubble, spreading its cheeks wide and sealing its sphincter over the newly opened gash, and letting out a long and noxious fart on their little parade of hate and fear. They're about to crumble.
Does this mean it's over? Not by a long shot. Nothing's more dangerous than a lunatic psychopath backed into a corner, their little secrets found out. That's when they get desperate. Don't be surprised when, after the indictments and resignations and calls for impeachment (we fucking MUST impeach this motherfucker!!!) if they don't - out of shear desperation, knowing their cabal has been cannabalized - come up with some reason to attack Syria and Iran. Yes, they know that the clock is ticking, that time is running out. They've been exposed, so this war-mongering right-wing Christian fundamentalist Apocolyptic power-mad global domineering cabal will do anything they can, anything left in their quickly dwindling power, to try to finish the Master Plan before they're thrown kicking and screaming from the halls of power.
B'bye, Bush. When you're impeached, just shrug at the camera and say "oopsie daisy!"
