Dear George,
Listening to NPR this morning I hear that you have a busy week full of speeches and PR blitzes to defend not only your illegal wiretapping policy, but also the ever-popular torture/murder policy you follow in Iraq.
Huh. It seems to me, the average observant citizen, that you’re on the defensive ALL THE D@MN TIME, spending your entire “Presidency” defending your administration’s illegal actions and pro-corporate/upper-class legislation, instead of actually doing something productive for the country. You know, the rest of the country, what we like to call the “majority”. The ones that voted for Kerry. The ones who can’t go to the doctor when they’re sick. The ones who enlisted and are dying in the military cause it was the only job they could find. The ones not finishing college because you keep slashing higher-education funding. The ones too busy living in poverty to be concerned with getting you impeached.
Anyhow, you’ve got a pretty sweet deal set up, George. How did you manage to set aside that whole checks-and-balances thing? I didn’t realize that was optional, here I thought that was something that applied to everyone, righteous or not. Silly Constitution.
But wait, shouldn’t more people be infuriated by you? Why isn’t everyone steaming mad right now? Why was Clinton impeached when he took the largest deficit in US history and turned it into the largest surplus in US history. Yet you, on the other hand, lost every penny of that surplus [and LOTS more], and you’re still sitting there with a job, I’m stumped.
Oh. Right. This is an election year, we can’t possibly talk about impeachment! We wouldn’t want our Congress to do anything good for the country that would potentially hurt their chance of keeping their own little office. Of course, we understand. How selfish of me to even think about it.
Sorry George, I think I’m just cranky cause my tongue still hurts from burning it on a grilled cheese sandwish last night.
Before I go, I wanted to share this link to an interesting blog entry about Hurricane Katrina. You remember when that happened right? Yeah, that’s when you took your sweet little time responding to the largest natural disaster in US history, herding people back in to a city that was doomed so we’d have something new to watch on CNN. And even when you did acknowledge that it happened, you still sat on your ass and blamed everything on FEMA, which happens to be a government organization so in my opinion that still falls on you. But hey, at least you got to take lots of fun helicopter rides down south to look at all the devastation for a few hours. And then you went back to the Whitehouse and didn’t seem to worry about it anymore, out of sight out of mind eh? Well here’s the thing, George, I’m still worried about it. There’s still a ton of $hit that needs to be done and over 3,200 people still missing. Perhaps you could quit spending all our money killing Iraqi civilians and try to clean up a little of that mess?
Just a thought.
