My Name Is Dubya...Bill For Short

You just cost me six thousand dollars. Six thousand dollars. And one Cadillac. That's right. What are you going to do about it? I said what are you going to do about it, asshole?

You fucking shit. Where did you learn your trade you stupid fucking cunt? You idiot. Whoever told you you could work with men?

I'm going to have your job, shit head. I'm going downtown and talk to Mitch and Murrray, and I'm going to Lemkin. I don't care whose nephew you are, who you know, whose dick you're sucking on. You're going out, I swear to you, you're going...

Anyone in this office lives on their wits...What you're hired for is to help us--does that seem clear to you? To help us. Not to fuck us up...to help men who are going out there to try to earn a living you fairy. You company man.

You want to learn the first rule you'd know if you ever spent a day in your life. You never open your mouth till you know what the shot is.

You fucking child.

There is more trouble in paradise.

Evidently people are upset at the latest revelation about the Bush Administration and their handling of Hurricaine Katrina. A tape has appeared that shows Bush being warned of the upcoming disaster prior to the Hurricaine and then afterwards saying in an interview that nobody knew nuthin.

Here is an excerpt from one (justifiably) angry e-mail I received:

Now let's see if they show Bush lying over and over again on TV looking into the cameras and saying "NO ONE ANTICIPATED"...........like they did with Clinton saying he didn't have relations with that woman.................Now THIS was a lie that affected Americans directly and may have caused deaths.

I wouldn’t characterize Slick Willie's "lie" as bad, really. It was more embarrassing than anything. I mean, after all, what did you want the guy to say?

"Yeah, that fat chick made my cock so hard I wanted to explode!!!"

On national television? With his wife and kid watching? Is that what the people who champion "Family Values," whatever the hell that means, wanted him do? Can you imagine teenage Chelsea watching "TV" with her friends and she sees her father telling the world about his infidelities? I think that would be unduly harmful mean and cruel to an "innocent" girl who did absolutely nothing wrong to anybody. And of course when these same people who wanted Bill to humiliate his family hear about the plethora of reports about the Bush Girls underage drinking and partying, they damn the press and become completely outraged about "respecting privacy" and "personal matters."

Well what do you expect from self-righteous, mean and cruel people?

And yet, this transgression, lying about knob polishing, was all that was needed for the power mad, self loathing hypocrites of the Republican Party to try to run a duly and truly elected President out of office.

If you ask me, the two main lessons of the whole ridiculous Clinton Impeachment were:

1) The impeachment proceedings is undeniable proof that the leaders of the Republican Party, and I would argue the majority of the party, could not care less about the fundamental principles of our Representative Democracy and will do anything...ANYTHING...to secure their own power and profit, regardless if their actions help or hurt the population at large. And this doesn't just go towards trying to keep elected offices etc. I'm talking about common sense stuff like Gun Control, Education, Environment, Tobacco, Energy, Pornography and Healthcare. Their positions on ANY issue are directly related to who is lining their pockets at the time. And that position will change, do a complete 180, if the name of their "donor" changes. Further proof of this is this truly unholy alliance, which started with Reagan but has come to full fruition with the current Administration, between the Neo-Con/Libertarian/Laissez-Faire Capitalists, people who, by definition, have no objective morality besides the jangling of coins, and the Evangelical/Born Again/Sexually Repressed groups who are people, by definition, whose Raison d'être is so anti-human and impractical they have to continuously force other people to live as they do because if they truly examined their own hypo-critical righteousness they would uncontrollably weep about their own inner hollowness and fraud. The fact that the first group panders to the second group, which is so diametrically opposed in basic philosophy, makes me believe they would do whatever they had to do to keep their Gold, no matter how many times they say buzzwords like Patriotism, Freedom and Democracy to us rubes.

2) Out of all the "investigating" that went on during the Clinton Administration, that thinking, sane people are pretty much all in agreement in the opinion that it bordered on a witch hunt, that was the best they could get him on!!! In my opinion, that fact elevated his Presidency in the view of history. I remember watching Clinton's speech at the 2000 Democratic Convention, that was the one where right before he spoke the TV showed his ridiculous two minute Elvis-Like walk to the podium, and I watched it expecting...hoping...that he was just going to say something like, "You tried to get me out but I’m STILL HERE MOTHER-FUCKER!!! SO FUCK YOU...AND YOU...AND YOU...AND YOU..." etc. But the truly shameful part, and WE ALL bare this guilt/shame is that he was actually impeached for it! The fact that working men and women rallied behind that movement again shows that although these guys (Republican Leadership) have no moral center and could not care less if you...YES YOU...lived or died, they sure as hell can sell.

With all that being said, what I am about to say is going to blow your minds.

I think what Clinton did during that infamous press conference was more egregious than what the President did in his softball Katrina photo op. And in this case, I am not really convinced that Bush lied.

WHAAAAAAAAAAT???

That's right.

In his statement, Clinton actually lied about what he did with his penis and deliberately tried to deceive the American Public. Bush, on the other hand, is just one stupid fuck. Even if I personally understand, and agree with, the motives of Slick Willie’s gambit, as a rule, deception is always worse than plain ignorance. Like George Carlin once said right after the 1996 election:

Bob Dole stands up there, pounding his fist, saying, I’m a truthful, hard working decent farmer from Kansas," and no one buys it. Clinton gets up there and says, "I’m a lying sack of shit" and people say, "At least he’s honest."

And I do not use the term ignorant lightly when I describe the over-indulged hoople-head that is in the Whitehouse. I believe he was at a meeting where the possibilities of unspeakable horror were spelled out in painfully meticulous detail and I believe Bush wasn’t paying any kind of attention even if he appeared to be listening and maybe asked a question or two. He probably still didn’t expect the New Orleans levees to break even after this "briefing" and, of course in that dullard’s fantasy world, since he didn’t, he assumed nobody did.

That is the definition of the word "ignorant."

I know the recent "bombshell" is that they have recorded tape of some briefing where the President and his drinking buddies are told that there is danger in New Orleans, people are going to die, etc. Then later, after the Hurricaine actually hit and New Orleans was in danger, and people were dying, etc., Bush says on the television that nobody expected the Levees to break. Several venues reported this outrageous Stalinesque moment awhile ago, most notably John Stewart of The Daily Show. True, I don’t remember the Liberal Media, and their real agenda to tear down Bush, picking up on it in back then but, oh well, better late than never I guess.

THAT GOD DAMN LIBERAL MEDIA WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO LEAVE THAT MAN ALONE!!!

(I personally posted about this incident in September of 2005 Tucker the Fucker)

I am reminded of the time when I took a political history class in my junior year in college. The subject of Hitler was being discussed. After the teacher finished his lecture about the various actions of Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945, he asked if there were any "Questions, comments, criticisms." A very "clever" student raised his hand. This is what followed.

CLEVER STUDENT

Isn’t it true that most of the Nazi Hierarchy were also gay?

That settles it...
They were bad people.

I am happy that this latest outrage is making people mad but I have to go now...

There's a danming op-ed piece in the Times that I have to read.
