Time travel for cretins

Amazing. Simply amazing.

He sat there and quacked out the same tired lines, as though the past four years simply hadn’t happened. The terrorists hate our freedoms. Afghanistan is a model of a democratic Middle East. We are safer but still we are not safe. Iraq is part of the war on terror. Saddam was a threat. On and on. If you’re a Bush voter troubled by the comprehensive failure of every Republican nostrum except organized looting by campaign contributors, then let Ol’ Chimp Eyes croon you back to a simpler time. Lie me a river, baby.

It is simply appalling to think that this lying cretin will be in charge of our country for another few years. It is even more appalling to think that our children and grandchildren will live in a world he helped bring into being through incompetence, corruption and imbecile short-term political calculations.What cretin could possibly support this man? And what political party could be feckless enough to lose an election to him?

It is incomprehensible to me that the Democrats could have spent years cowering in the Congress while this fraud and his cronies ran roughshod over American traditions and ideals.

The Democrats had goddamned better win this election big time, and win the one after it, too. Because it will never get any easier for them than this. They will never have a more inviting target, or a more vulnerable opponent. If they can’t pull this off, they’re worse than useless — they’re an impediment to something better and more effective.

This is it, guys. Deliver America from the clutches of these thieves and idiots and all will be forgiven, if not forgotten. Blow this opportunity, fail in this vital purpose, screw it up yet again and you can all go jump as far as I’m concerned.

Get us out of this mess, or get the hell out of our faces. Notice has been served. You have been warned.
