As I watched KO last night I saw that smirking cretin, Jennings, tell a congressional committee that he couldn’t tell them what job he performed at the white house. That he was following the mandate in a letter from the president that claimed executive privilege. Can’t tell a committee of congress what his job is? Can’t tell us, the American, what job we are paying him to perform? He certainly isn’t a noc, so why the secret?
Privileged information is it? To do what, by which authority? The royal prerogative, a dictator’s vainglorious presumption? Did even one Senator fantasize about jumping his desk and reaching out and choking the truth out of that smug little twit? No, bet not. That would be too reminiscent of torture and Abu Grahib. Just another little ditty on the list of crimes that have been ignored.
Spectre (misspell deliberate), that illusion of a senator, described Gonzales as wily. In my lexicon he would be called a liar. A criminal liar who is contemptuous of Congress, the Constitution but mostly, of we the people.
My sneaking suspicion, creeping up on me over days and weeks is that he isn’t the only one contemptuous of us. His boss is, we all know it, and so it would seem, are the other two branches of our government. Why else would the courts rule against the humanity of the people in favor of the ponzi schemes that call themselves insurance companies and tell the people who suffered through Katrina that those payments made to insurance companies were actually another form of graft and the only restitution that is going to be made is to the state of La., in the form of newly accessed property taxes, on property the state has declared has been undervalued for years and now they, the citizens, who have been ravaged by a monster storm, are going to have to pay up, big time.
Then there is Congress, all huff and puff, blowing nobody’s house of cards down. Uncle Ted, one of the biggest crooks in the Senate, is having a spot of trouble but none of them will say a word against him because, if he, slippery seal that he is, escapes indictment and charges, he will exact revenge and they’re scared of him, as they seem to be of most things. The only person getting what they want out of this Congress is George W. Bush.
How dare they sit there while they were dissed, disrespected and spit upon and not do anything? Oh yes, just like Gonzo, Jennings and his boss are too wily for them. I wonder…will that general the marshals are chasing or Rove, Meirs and Bolten answer the subpoenas they’ve been served with and appear? If they do deign to show up will smug little smiles contort their lips? Will there be even one contempt citation if they don’t? Not one liar has received one yet. Perjury charges? Not likely if the past be prologue, and we all know, impeachment is off the table. Apparently that covers all impeachments as I don’t see that anything will happen to the resident, his vice or the little man on the side that perverts our laws. It is vacation time after all.
What is a citizen to do to regain rights, lawfulness, treasury that has been stolen or given to cronies in stacks of bills belonging to us, a sound infrastructure, a restored Constitution, truth? How are we going to get rid of these miscreants who are taking everything from us. Our country has become structurally deficient and what I can’t see, tell, guess…is how we are going to build a bridge to our and everyone else’s future. One that won’t collapse on us.
I wish I knew.
