I was planning to write about the bloggers and mainline reporters who are paid by the government to lie for them but the crushing defeat Bush has just suffered at the hands of a rebellious Congress has preempted this. There is now an interesting mixture of joy and fury inside the White House, the CIA, the FBI but not, repeat, not, the DHS when Congress told Bush that the Dubai deal was as dead as Bush’s career and marley’s ghost. Congress, usually split along party lines, has finally realized that the American public has had it up to the Plimsoll with the manic greed on the part of the senior Bush people and have flooded their Congresspeople with their rage at this port deal. Add to this pressure in an election year, we have the vicious, arrogant and thoroughly stupid baiting of Congress by a mindless, hubris-ridden President who has come to believe the suckings of his disgusting and throughly sycophantic staff that he is indeed a new God, to be obeyed. Had Bush not told the UAE to drop the plan, (Bush claims it was all their idea to withdraw but we here know better), Congress would have soundly kicked Bush in his flabby ass and, should he have the nerve to veto their blocking his (and Treasury Chief Snow’s) money-making scheme it would have been promptly overridden in such a way as to mark the effective end of the Bush quasi-dictatorship. As is it, Bush has proven to be the most stupid and corrupt President in American history. Our currency says,, “In God We Trust.” One would hope this trust would not be misplaced and we all pray that God takes Curious George to His bosom with diligence and dispatch. One can safely include Cheney and his Dike Brigade in this Blessed Departure at the same time. When you stir a pot, the shit rises to the top.
