So little to do, so much time

The lemmings in Congress rolled over for the pouting pussy-in-chief again.

The agreement says the executive branch is responsible for upholding the nations’ commitment to the Geneva Conventions, leaving it to the president to establish through executive rule any violations for the handling of terrorism suspects that fall short of a “grave breach.” Significantly, Senate aides said, those rules would have to be published in the Federal Register.

Bill Clinton had it shitty with Monica Lewinsky. Try all 535 members of Congress giving this President blow job that has lasted five years. Yes, the Democrats too, who allow this president to stomp on their balls and tell them they like it. (Some might say he’s been doing that to the entire nation too).

Bush, of course, loved every second of it, and almost came in his pants as he said:

“The agreement clears the way to do what the American people expect us to do: to capture terrorists, to detain terrorists, to question terrorists, and then to try them.”

Can a man with a 37% percent approval rating accurately judge what the American people expect?

My respect for John “The Gooks” McCain has gone back down to nada after he said this from beneath the President’s podium:

“There is no doubt that the integrity and the letter and the spirit of the Geneva Conventions have been preserved.”

Leaving decision to torture to a man who kinda wants to stands against Common Article 3 of the Convention. Remember, wholesale torture occurs in the hands of “infallible” men who had the nation’s “best interest” in mind. Kind of like Sadaam? Andrew Sullivan’s got some good shit on that.

But here’s what really puzzles me, or maybe will be corrected by the Times:

The senators agreed to a White House proposal to make the standard on interrogation treatment retroactive to 1997, so C.I.A. and military personnel could not be prosecuted for past treatment under standards the administration considers vague.

1997? That’s four years before this “War on Terror” even started! What the hell has the CIA been up to?

Phase 2 has begun in Operation “Fuck Rham Emmanuel: Manufacturing a Win in ‘06″

The disparity between the top 1% and the rest has grown, the middle class is increasingly finding it harder to walk after being forcibly sodomized by the rich, and this president calls out the dems.

“If they get control of the House of Representatives, they’ll raise your taxes, it will hurt our economy, and that’s why we’re not going to let them get control of the House of Representatives.”

Stop one second and look back at that… we’re not going to let them get control of the House of Representatives. President Bush tends to slip once in a while, and be honest.

So maybe he really won’t let the dems get control of the House. Maybe your vote doesn’t really matter? I’m not exactly sure what he’s trying to say, but it sounds to me like he’s got it covered.

Remember, attack ads accompanied this speech, linking Dems to their votes against Bush’s tax cuts. How did some respond?

Mr. Brown, in Ohio, responded to a Republican advertisement with his own attack posted on his Web site.

I understand the power of the Internet. It’s a great thing… but if an ad comes on saying “Rush Limbaugh fucks raccoons!” I’ll laugh. But I certainly fact-check the thing on his website.

I bet if I got close to a Democratic Congressperson, I’d smell a dirty diaper. These swine running the government want it more, it seems.

I’m stunned to learn that Noam Chomsky is still alive, after Venezuelan Presidente Hugo Chavez told me he’s dead. I’m sure a whole bunch of progressive, anti-right loonies let out a sigh of relief.

But I’d pay money to watch Chavez perform at the UN again. Seems worthwhile when an organization as stale and powerless as the UN get some charisma and un-PC rantin’ and ravin’. Viva la revolucion!
