Wow, George, EVERY day?
I'm cleaning my kitchen listening to NPR, and I hear this adorable soundbite from our rocket scientist of a president at a press conference:
"I think about Iraq every day. Every. Single. Day."
Gee, Mr. Prez, what a tremendous commitment of both your brain cells! You think about the needless, insane war you started every day? Don't you think that's a little too much? We all know that takes away from your valuable Thinking About Jesus time and Thinking About Football time and Thinking About That Big Pile of Tires time. Your selfless commitment of a few synapses firing - however slowly - surely makes the folks over there feel better about the commitment they've made to...um...to...democracy? Is that the reason we're giving for massive police presense in Iraq these days? Democracy, then.
From WMDs to insurgency to Downing Street, the reasons don't seem to matter. Our culture has created an idol, and that idol is America, and questioning the president is tantamount to blasphemy.
The white noise of our culture is everywhere. Blogs blogging, international commentators balking, New York Times columnists ranting, and the repetition of facts not making a god damned bit of difference. If Watergate broke today, Richard Nixon would remain president and Deep Throat would be about as famous as the guy who leaked the memo. The truth blows in the wind, and the Democrats roll over and the Republicans jam the channels with meaningless rhetoric and repetition.
"Every. Single. Day." Is that supposed to impress somebody?
"Oh! I'm sorry, Mr. President," says the slouching press corps. "We didn't mean to imply that you didn't think real hard. Gee whiz, every day? Wow. We're sorry we doubted you."
You fucking piece of shit.
