Petty Officer, No Class


I finally found time to take a look at a story that made the rounds of blogaea yesterday. Richard Carmona, former Surgeon General, made it clear just how ugly and petty this administration is.

A direct order to always mention Shrub at least three times...per page, in EVERY speech. Official discouragement to diss--sorry, I meant attend--the Special Olympics...because it's associated with the Kennedy family. Political considerations overriding genuine scientific analysis on everything from contraception to second-hand smoke. Requests to speak on behalf of Rethuglican candidates and attend political briefings.

Well, color me as unfuckingsurprised. And given these revelations, is there any doubt the administration would resort to unprecedented levels of pettiness in politicizing government institutions like the Department of Justice? I mean, shit--professional assclowns like Grover Norquist and Tom DeLay have all but itemized their intentions to turn DC into a one-party town...fortunately, they and their fellow travellers are such smug-yet-incompetent-creeps that the public rightly finds them repulsive. Well, that might be putting it diplomatically.

Because "repulsive" hardly begins to describe psychopaths who'll take us to war for no other reason than to consolidate political power...
