Just How Bad are Things Getting for BushCo? [View All]

[Stevendsmith]

Once again I'm feeling a giddy rush of optimism that the BushCo edifice of deceit is finally going to come crashing down, that the suicidal apathy, stupidity, and media sycophancy that has kept these deceitful bastards afloat will FINALLY be replaced with righteous anger and action. How can any rational being expect less, given the enormous load of horseshit and mind-bogglingly bad policy the administration has foisted upon this country and the world? I mean, there are a lot of stupid people in this country, but, my god, you have to be a vegetable to continue to support this disaster of an administration. A god damn vegetable. Surely the majority of Americans have awakened from their idiotic slumbers by now. Right?

But I had this same feeling during the SOTU-Niger hoax. Like today, the talking heads were getting surprisingly tough on the administration, the print editorials were scathing and ominous (Rupert Murdoch operations excluded of course). Congressional Democrats were beginning shed their Bush-suckling ways and develop spines. It seemed—to me at least—that the jig was up for BushCo. Impeachment actually seemed possible.

Then all of the sudden. Poof! The hard questions just went away. The blatant and documented administration lies became yesterday's story—an expired news cycle. The media moved on to Kobe and other insignificant crap. Most of the Democrats got back on their knees. The tough Democrats were hamstrung by Republican majorities. All of those "inquiries" and "investigations" came to nothing—again mainly because of the Republican majorities, but also due to a lack of political will. God, it was infuriating! Lies about 9-11. Lies about Iraq. Lies about the Saudi/Bush connections. Lies about who really wrote our nation's energy policy. That was soooo yesterday. Time for vacation.

But once again, BushCo appears to be in very hot water. Congressional vacations are over. Tough questions are coming from both sides of the aisle. The media are getting uppity. The Iraq disaster and the god-awful economy are merging into one ugly shitstorm for the White House. But I’m reluctant to get my hopes up again. You see, I want this to be the beginning of the end for these criminal assholes. I want the remainder of Bush’s term to be marred by failure and abject humiliation and capped off by a resounding landslide defeat. I want the entire corporatist/Bushist/GOP project to be delegitimized painfully and slowly for the entire country to see. Is that possible?

Could this be the beginning of the end for these bastards? Or will the Teflon cowboy and his henchmen ride this storm out like they have so many times before?
