"I'll take a ham and Swiss on wheat, and make it litigiously delicious!"
So Judy Miller got outta jail yesterday. She testifies today. I'm waiting with bated breath to see what happens.
Now that Tom DeLay's been indicted, all the right-wing is in a mass ejaculatory uproar about how you could "indict a ham sandwich" (mmmm....ham sandwich...so tasty...YOU'RE GOIN' TO JAIL!), and that Ronnie Earle, the prosecutor for this little clusterfuck, is a partisan zealot. Too bad they didn't take into consideration the fact that Ronnie Earle's had a long history of prosecuting corrupt fuckers regardless of party line. Yes, you little waterheaded loudmouthed flag-waving neo-cons, that means that he PROSECUTED your oh-so-despised filthy commie pinko liberals. I predict that in five minutes, you'll hear some jackass spouting "Oh, he prosecuted Democrats, too? Well, I guess he's an alright kinda guy, then.."
To that I say, Fuck you. Look at who you're harping on before you judge them. But if you did that, it'd go against your standard knee-jerk reactions to anything that crosses your beloved party line and shoves the abject corruption of those that you idolize right into your face, like a hunk of rotting meat. If you did that, it would mean that you'd actually have to use your one and a-half brain cells to formulate a situation before hopping into the fray with the usual "ANTI-AMERICAN THEY HUG TERRORISTS TOO AND WIPE THEIR ASSES WITH DEAD BABIES OMFG BUSH RULES EVEN IF HE IS A DRUNK" garbage.
Now that Frist is due to receive the Martha Stewart treatment (and no, I don't mean learning how to make a nice centerpiece out of some napkins, hair dye, and dried fruit), DeLay is being fitted for a nice orange jogging suit and Roy Blunt is soon to face some heat for his past transgressions, I don't know what to think. Part of me wants to hoist up every Bush fan that's challenged me in the past by their lapels, point my finger in their face, and fanatically scream "HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT SHIT, YOU MOUTH-BREATHING COCKSMOKER?", all wild-eyed and frothing at the mouth. But the other part, the more balanced, rational part (all 10% of it) wants to just sit back, let the circus continue, and then just calmly smile and relax with the sort of self-assurance that comes from not being a reactionary war-supporter who thinks that "nucular" is how it should be pronounced.
Which is what I'm going to do. Today, at least.
