"Let's Roll!"

Billmon's latest two posts: The Potemkin President Part II and Dead or Alive are as good a summation of the sorry state of affairs on the national level as anything. Goddamn, no pun intended, but a whole new circle of hell will have to be built (Halliburton, are you listening?) when this is all said and done.

Watching Bush parade around with those poor firefighters forced to tag along as props has me envisioning a sick, demented version of the Village People--only in this case it's the Village Idiot who evidently is so clueless, so braindead, that he can't find it within himself to simply override the PR department, and LET THOSE INDIVIDUALS DO THE JOB THEY'RE TRAINED TO DO! Unbelievable.

I may think Shrubusto is an arrogant fuck-slime, but I'll admit he holds the office...you'd think that, just once, he could consider the absurdity, the utter absurdity, and make the right decision.
