A Parliament of Whoresons
Last night, I was at home for the first time in a long time. So, the Cognito Clan took part in a time-honored (read: one year old) tradition: eating dinner on trays while watching The Daily Show. Among the subjects covered were Tom Coburn's first bit of sanity in a long time: shifting money away from pork to pay for the reconstruction of New Orleans. Ted "Money Changes Everything" Stevens, on the other hand, had something to say about taking money away from Don Young's Way: "NO!"
Seriously; go onto The Daily Show website, go under "Headlines", and look up "Relief Ditcher." If your video works (unlike mine), you'll see Ted Stevens respond to the suggestion that he think about the devastation of the Gulf Coast like a toddler who's told to eat his string beans. This is one of the men who we've elected to represent us, and he acts like a fucking two-year-old.
When you think about it, actually, Stevens isn't the only infant in politics. I mean, where else will you find a greater example of playground logic than the GOP?
"Ha! I tagged you, you're it!" "No, you didn't! I was safe!"
"Honey, don't you want to save your money, like grownups do?" "But Mom, I really, really want this toy! Pleeease?"
"Hey, poopyhead!"
The current GOP is filled with men who are not just criminals and slanderers, but spoiled brats. They are playground bullies given control of the school. They redefine reality as they see fit, and ignore all consequences of their actions.
I'm not one for corporal punishment, but maybe this party does need a good spanking. After that, maybe l'il Teddy Stevens will give up his favorite toy for the other kids to play with.
