Fascinoma

Bush is having his ass licked by Charlie Gibson, Rove by Matt Lauer, Tony Blair was on my teevee this morning pointedly not being asked about the Downing Street Memos and even the Cheney's got puff treatment from the post over the holiday weekend (something about how they spruced up the Naval Observatory with Dick's collection of human ears and torture devices). The corporate media treat these people as if they were basically decent people who made some wrong calls in tough times -- hey let's let bygone be bygones.

In fact of course, if these people are not evil then evil has no meaning. They're done more harm to the country than Al Quaeda, the Medellin Cartel, and the Mafia combined and squared, and yet the douchebags of the small box can't seem to keep that in their pretty little heads, they're just so tickled to be in the Presences.

If their were justice all these monsters and their sycophants would have gotten the Mussolini treatment, simulcast on all channnels -- with a quiz afterward to determine voter eligibility. We are become a shitty little country, I'm afraid. And Obama won't be able to do much much about it.
