I Suppose This Is Good News
I have been getting madder at the Republican Party the longer this Iraqi debacle drags onward and downward. So even before the president got hit by the charge that his Emergency Management Mechanism is a rusty wreck, even before then I was feddy uppy. I wanted to get Mr. Bush on the phone and yell, "Go stand in the corner until you're sorry!" I steamed. I stewed.
Then today, with interest, I read on the MSNBC website that the president has hit the proverbial banana peel on the floor with his heel and is moving rapidly forward in a downward arc. Supposedly, a recent poll shows that if the next election were now, voters would send Alfred E. Neuman to Washington because he could not do worse than present leadership. Well, that's good. It makes me feel better. It seems that I am not the last angry citizen. My misery has company.
Another thing...the administration that has had a great time romping over the concept of human rights and the basic idea of the rule of law...now a bunch of them are worried that their rights may not adequately be represented in legal procedings focused on the way they have been acting like the law was a weapon for them to use on those who disagreed with them. My, my. I do not rejoice in their pain. However, I am tired of them. Bunch of hypocritical weasels. In a way it is not good news that so many prominent Republicans are in deep political schmoo. But in a way, it is.
My favorite statistic is this one...as of today, 2% of black people support the present administration. That is impressive. Now, if all those angry black people would go out and register to vote in the next election...and then if they'd actually VOTE when the time came, we could get some new people down in Washington for me to be mad at. Of course Republicans don't give a rat's little behind what black people think because most black people don't vote. I vote, though, and two years from now, I'm not going to forget about all the lousy management that has our great country looking like a fire drill in a chicken coop.
