To the 26-29% of Bush groupies out there -- peel your lips off George Bush's limp dick long enough and please for once be honest and tell me that if instead of the current brain-dead chimp in the White House, it was John Kerry or Al Gore, would you just nonchalantly shrug off the following instances of Daffy-Duck-like incompetence and/or corruption?:
200,000 gov't issued, taxpayer paid for AK-47 Military assault rifles and pistols unaccounted for with no idea what happened to them and because no serial numbers were documented, no possible way for the government to track them.
380 tons (that's 760,000 pounds for you math flunkees) of high-grade explosives, which had been under controlled surveillance of the U.N.'s IAEA prior to Bush's shock & awe circus act, go missing from a major arms site near Baghdad. It isnt much of a stretch to think that some of that material made it's way into a few IED's, the insurgents weapon of choice which has killed and maimed many a U.S. soldier.
And of course - how could we forget about the mysterious disappearance of somewhere in the neighborhood of $9-12 billion missing and unaccounted for cash. The money came from revenues from the United Nations' former oil-for-food program, oil sales and seized assets -- all Iraqi money. I'm certain the Iraqi people appreaciate that bangup bookeeping job George.
And last but not least, plundering to the tune of about $20 billion the Iraqi people's one natural resource - oil - a resource which if it were to be managed wisely by honest, decent, thoughtful human beings could probably be the one single commodity that could be a catalyst to bring the various warring tribal factions to the negotiating table and help end or at least temper the internecine warfare which Bush's idiotic invasion unleashed. But we all know the dark truth here -- the Bushes, Cheney, Rice and many of the neo-con scum they've surrounded themselves with come from the oil industry themselves. Crude oil courses thru their veins and is the lifeblood of their detestable ilk. Those of of us who inhabit the reality-based community never bought the bullshit WMD story or the imminent mushroom cloud fables and other tall tales that were shoved down the throats of the American people by a worthless, cowed mainstream press/media who failed miserably to ask the important questions - questions which if they'd been asked and asked repeatedly might have resulted in this country actually focusing on capturing and/or killing the real culprits of Sept. 11th instead of allowing the Keystone Kop Busheviks to veer off into the sands of Mesopotamia to pursue a Bush family vendetta and long-planned oil swindle.
Heckuva way to win Iraqi hearts and minds there Chimpy and Dick -- invade their country, destroy their infrastructure, torture their citizens in Saddam's torture prison all while stealing them blind and plundering their natural resources. How anyone in their right mind in this country can still support these royally fucked up assholes is beyond any measurable comprehension I myself might have.
Anyhow, bearing all of that in mind, it's telling and a tremendously sad and damning indictment of the media in this country when a comedian with a half-hour comedy show that parody's the news actually has more truthful news content than major media newscasts themselves.
I speak of course of the inimitable Jon Stewart and The Daily Show on Comedy Central.
The video clip linked below, while meshing the fine art of comedic timing with the austere format of television news delivery, actually manages to inform We The People about those above-mentioned fuckups made by the Bush administration in the mismanagement of their insane Iraq war -- major fuckups by the way, which our dysfunctional and neutered mainstream media consciously and cowardly choose to cold-shoulder in favor of missing white women and jailed celebrity stories.
Jon Stewart is simply goddamn brilliant here. He's funny and he shoots a Cheney shotgun load of truth right between the eyes of the limp and useless mainstream press and their corporate whore paymasters. If more people turned off cable and television news and watched Stewart's The Daily Show report every day, this country would begin to take the first steps on getting back on the path of sanity from which we've collectively strayed. You also might get a laugh or two.
