Do I look retarded?
I'll admit it, I try not to be too serious about anything. But I really have a real problem with the way Republicans are doing things right now. Which leads me to ask, do I look like I'm retarded? Also, does the rest of America look retarded? (Sidenote: I may look retarded, and I also may be retarded, but I still get what's going on, kind of.)
I love how they're trying to spin the Iraq war. First, all of this posturing bullshit with mid-term elections coming up is really annoying. Personally I think the Bill Clinton tirade was part of that, and if not that was the most well-timed rant I've ever heard.
1.) Is it a fluke gas prices are dropping? I don't see why oil prices couldn't have dropped months ago. Also, why are oil prices dropping when it was announced a few months ago that one of the Alaskan pipelines (or the pipeline, I can't remember how it was described and I have no knowledge of the Alaskan oil system) had to be shut down due to corrosion in the lines. Prices didn't really change after that was announced, aside from maybe a slight increase. So, with Iran still threatening, how is it possible that gas just drops $.80? Also I heard a report that gas could be up to $4 in the spring. Somehow it doesn't surprise me, especially if this is all posturing.
2.) I hate Fox News so fucking much. Clinton goes on this rant about wanting to go after Al Qaeda (I'm pretty sure that's the first time I've ever typed that in my life, just to show you how seriously I take myself) but the CIA and FBI wouldn't let him (I'm so getting my phone tapped after this). First, I'm surprised Fox News even aired it, because it talked about Bush so poorly. But, seeing them tear Clinton apart because of how he looked crazy or something made me realize why they did it. So, as pointed out on Daily Show, rather than do any sort of investigative reporting, or looking at "facts" whatever those are, they just mocked Clinton's rant. Great work Fox news.
3.) Leeza Rice (that's how I apparently choose to refer to her, as I know how to spell that) comes out today and says that what the Bush administration did between his inauguration and 9/11 was just as aggressive as Clinton, if not more. Of course, that's not a lie at all. We were just as aggressive, but we chose to ignore all documented warnings. I'm sure the bi-partisan 9/11 commission report was a lie. We should just trust what goes on behind closed right wing doors, because they know what's best for us. And by us, I mean ridiculously rich people.
I'm not saying I loved Clinton or whatever, because I didn't. But, between he, who only lied about his private encounters with interns, or Bush, who lies about basically everything, I think I know who I'd choose.
4.) More posturing bullshit: Bush apparently now is sick of the 'speculation' about the war in Iraq actually helping in the war on terror, so he's declassifying information to end speculation. Let's see, what year did the war start? 2003? So, assuming these documents actually do exist and will clear things up, why are we supposed to believe these were kept classified? Well, I take that back. I remember when the bank account monitoring came out, which was supposedly classified, and that only came out because it worked, and the Bush regime was angry. Maybe they wanted to keep it classified until mid-term elections.
I find it very hard to believe that it took over 3 years for Bush to want to quell speculation about this war really helping the fight against terrorism. And it's really stupid to expect people to believe that there are no ulterior motives behind it.
Rumsfeld: Hey, Mr., uh, President, mid-terms are coming up, think we should do anything about it?
Bush: Talk to Cheney
Cheney: Let's scare the shit out of those stupid bastards. It worked in 2004!
Rumsfeld: Good talk.
Eh. I've grown tired of ranting about this. I at least hope I've made some sort of point though. And if not, I blame you for not getting it.
