Attack of the Mental Midgets

He stabbed her 42 times.
For thirty years she hid
his orange juice behind
the milk.
Revenge.

Al Gore, the son of a distinguished Senator, has served with distinction in the House and Senate and for eight years as Vice-President of the United States. As far as I know there has never even been a whisper of bad behavior on the part of his personal life. He has been happily married to the same woman, his only wife, for a very long time. He has now won an Emmy, an Oscar, and the Nobel Peace Prize. He also won the popular vote for President but had it denied him by an out-of-control Supreme Court that made a decision so absurd even they said it could not be taken as a precedent. Gore was opposed to Bush/Cheney's illegal "war," and has been right about vitually everything they have been wrong about. Wouldn't you think he deserves some respect? I certainly would. But Republicans never let up in their relentless attacks on this fine human being and public servant. They mock him on global warming, make fun of his wardrobe, completely distort what he says, and indulge in the most scurrilous attacks they can make up. I saw one criticism today that he didn't deserve the Nobel Peace Prize because global warming has nothing to do with peace. None of these mental midgets has even had the courtesy to congratulate him. It's as if Republicans are splitting off as a separate species, one that lacks any qualities of human decency, empathy, morality, or even common sense.

People are asking, if the telecoms haven't done anything wrong, why do they need immunity? No one seems to be answering. If this is so important Bush threatens to veto any bill that doesn't include immunity they must have done something really wrong. Having vetoed health care for children perhaps Bush has finally figured out how to do it, like mastering a new toy?

The Russian Bear has come out of hibernation. Putin is not going to stand for Bush/Cheney's ridiculous attempt to put in missile defenses near his country when there are no missiles to defend and the system doesn't work anyway. I think he told Rice to go home and play with her dolls. We don't hear Pooty-poot referred to anymore. I think when Bush looked into his eyes it was not his soul he saw but, rather, a sign that said "don't tread on me." As Bush is apparently functionally illiterate he didn't read it properly. History is going to wonder how one man could possibly have made so many mistakes but still stay in office so long. How do you explain that? Was no one watching? I wish I could stay around long enough to read the history of THE NIGHTMARE YEARS.

Osama bin Laden, may his tribe decrease, awoke one night from a dream of no peace. He thought of millions taking off their shoes and wire enforced bras and laughed all the way home. I don't believe he lives in a cave. I do believe Bush/Cheney have made an all out effort not to find him, not wanting to lose such a valuable asset. What would they do without him and his constant terrorist threats?
