Gundy’s First “How F-ing Stupid Are You America” Rant

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070330/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush

 Seriously people, how many “TYSAK” points are there here?  You ever hear the old adage, “Fool me once, shame on you…fool me twice, shame on me”?  Okay, so after “fool me for the umpteenth time” where do we go?  I mean I hear all kinds of crap about the “on the street” interviews on late night TV.  I hear people laughing about “that dude didn’t even know what countries border the US”. 

 Well if you honestly believe the promise of the linked article, you’ve pretty much got to lump yourself in with that numb broad on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire who couldn’t decide whether a peanut, an elephant, or the moon was bigger.  Bush promises to fix the problem - if you believe this, you handily fall under the category a good friend of mine liked to talk about…namely the Great American Smacktard.

I mean, Bush is a super credible guy right?  Look at all the weapons of mass destruction we found in Iraq.  Oh…wait.  Well look at all the obvious 9/11 ties to Saddam Hussein.  Um…right…not that either.  Well hey, anytime the FBI runs a wiretap, they’ve got a court order.  <Cough>  (By anytime we meant anytime they get CAUGHT doing it.)  But Alberto Gonzalez didn’t have any input on the attorney general firings.  Ahem…except for the meetings that he was in with Harriet Miers.

Now I’m not a big Bill Clinton fan.  I’m of a mind that brother Bill was rather a monumental pussy.  At the same time, leave us not forget that brother Bill was impeached more or less for getting a blowjob in the office.  Incidentally, the actual charges in brother Bill’s impeachment were two counts of perjury, one count of obstruction of justice, and…get this…no really…wait for it…wait for it…ABUSE OF POWER. 

So let me get this straight.  Brother Bill got himself impeached for a bit of recreational hide the salami with the second ugliest girl on the planet.  Meanwhile, our current El Presidente has been involved in more fabrications than a Vegas plastic surgeon.  And yet somehow he stays not only clear of impeachment, he remains a f-ing American icon.

Now on one level, I absolutely understand that impeaching El Presidente isn’t an option because look at the crazy son of a bitch who’d wind up in the office if Bush DID get booted.  I mean I’m sure Mr. Cheney is a wonderful guy and a honest-ish politician.  I’m just going to make sure to turn down any offers he makes to go duck hunting.  I mean, was I the only one who heard about the shooting and pictured the VP telling his Secret Service detail, “Leave the gun…take the canoles” ?

At the same time…other than the vast amount of Seamen (misspelling intentional) who got flushed down the drain…brother Bill didn’t get a ton of people killed (on both sides).  US death toll is up to over 3500.  Iraqi death toll has been estimated as possibly being in excess of 655000 by some groups.  El Presidente has been quoted in the 30000 neighborhood.  Either way, that’s a veritable f*(& ton of really unhappy dead people.

All this brings me back to my original point…namely, “How F-ing Stupid Are You America”?   I mean, I knew my fellow Americans as a whole were not brilliant when I started seeing the popularity of Deal or No Deal.  People!  It’s a chimp trying to figure out which suitcase holds a ton of cash.  There’s ZERO skill involved.  Samey same when I started noticing that people were…wait, just the thought of this makes me vomit in my mouth…listening to Rosie O’donnell on The View.  Now you may be saying, “Gundy, you’re no political analyst” and if you are, more power to you.  I’m not really encouraging you to listen to what I’m saying.  More, I’m encouraging you to get pissed off and come back with counter punches so that we can get some really good debate going. 

Meh, I’m going to quit on this for now.  You can reasonably expect this won’t be the last rant on this subject.  I’m begging you America…either pull your head out or at least do your fellow citizens and the rest of the world the common courtesy of having a glass stomach installed so that you can see where the hell you’re going.

Cheers,

Gundy
