BS in B Minor

Does it seem odd to you that many of the same characters howling for Bill Clinton’s hide are now indifferent to BushCo’s premeditated war crimes? Granted, Ken Starr’s five year, 50 million dollar freak show proved an adulterated ejaculation stained blue cotton. Thank gawd Grandma Noony never knew Warren Harding boned Nan Britton in the broom closet. The old gal would have imploded into swirling mists of antebellum vapor.

Although I wasn’t sweet on Big Bill, Starr’s creepy obsession over an extra-marital blow job generated a modicum of compassion for the unfaithful cur. Picturing the sexually repressed born again prosecutor writing his Jongian novel in fright wig and fish nets did little to assuage my nagging fear that James Madison wouldn’t have squandered public resources pursuing an elected official’s errant semen. True, Big Bill lied under oath when asked if he enjoyed fresh thong al dente. Worse yet, he forcefully denied illicit intern probing to we the people. How could the first black president faithfully fulfill his Constitutional duties after that outburst of wanton dishonesty? Speaker Gingrich was understandably offended, as were other conservatives who took their second or third marriage vow with proper Christian solemnity.

It’s hard to believe that Peggy Noonan can “walk away” from the previous administration’s dark fascination with torture after her crusade to save the Constitution from felonious fellatio. Unfamiliar with her prescription drug regimen, perhaps she has reached the point of opaque indifference to everything but flashy hand bags. Willing to let bygones be bygones, her newfound Weltanschauung is breathtaking. I, too, believe that some things in life should remain a “mystery” -- which is why I resist the temptation to peek at The National Inquirer: Color photographs of baggy butts succumbing to gravity’s terrible pull are nothing but sordid grocery store distractions. Likewise, visual exposure to detained infidels undergoing illegal abuse dishonors the media’s attempt to induce collective amnesia. Pretending the past eight years never happened is the best course of action; Kit Bond’s "banana republic” can’t reach its’ full potential if The Rule of Law fails to attain cynical impudence. According to Hannity, holding the perpetrators responsible for their crimes is nothing more than a partisan witch hunt and diverts precious energy away from serious business -- such as staged tea parties. Who better to make the case than another Fox News reprobate?

Now that Arlen Specter has returned to something RNC stooge Jim Boggs, Jr. calls the Democrat Socialist Party (clever idea to run against something that doesn’t exist), he is exempt from Maoist self-criticism if caught questioning Rush Limbaugh’s sobriety. Specter’s defection leaves the door open for Pennsylvania Republicans to goose the pale Palin posse back into low gear. Hopefully there are still enough sock monkeys left over to provide Pat Toomey harangues with appropriate mob décor.

Good one from Sullivan: “War crimes will be prosecuted, war criminals will be punished and it will be no defense to say ’I was just following orders,” -- former president George W. Bush reiterating core American principles, 2003.

AS: “Of course we now know that American principles only apply to non-Americans. That’s what is now known as American exceptionalism.”
