RUMSFELD FOLLIES
For all of you that went out and voted, thank you.
Unless you voted Republican.
Bastards.
Things like this almost kinda give me faith again in the democratic process. And a renewed hope that people will only take so much bullshit before they hold the people responsible for it.
Most importantly it was a big fuck you to Bush and everything he stands for. Hell, even a MUSLIM won a house seat! Which in its own subversive way was the sweetest plum. An embodiment of all the current White House was against being picked over one of their own white bread christer minions.
But the finest moment was dear Rumsfeld being put out to pasture. I mean, "stepping down".
Could it be? Infallible Bush, almost sorta kinda conceding defeat, or in a roundabout way, admitting fault?
At the same time, its kind of scary.
Like one of those horror movies where the puppet comes to life and attacks those that pull its strings...
If history is any indicator, when Dubya gets scared or backed into a corner, he tends to come out swinging...at someone or something that has been beaten before.
His daddy beat Saddam, so he probably could, too.
Kerry, you better run for cover. Especially after your joke snafu. Several segway driven assassins are probably on their way, to stuff handful after salty handful of pretzels down your gullet as we speak.
Or maybe, just maybe, like any eighties after school special has always dictated, a bully, once he has been stood up to, will back down and change his errant ways.
But of course an ex CIA chief might just have stronger strings.
And Howdy Doody may yet come out swinging.
