There are regular posts of late where someone describes how a hard-core bushite finally sees the light. I'm always cheered by such a tale, because even one-by-one, every mind that awakens is an asset. But it's only a lonely few of a nation of sheep.
But I've witnessed a miracle. My brother, the ultimate ultra-right-wing freeper Rushbot actually questioned Bush yesterday. This is a Reagan Young Republican who all but worships Rush Limbaugh. He disdains anything liberal with an intensity of near hatred.
"You know, I'm a little irritated with something Bush said today." he mentioned in an offhand way.
I immediately thought that it was about time, since the bastard infuriates me every time he parts those smirking lips. But I wisely kept that to myself and responded: "Oh yeah? What was that?"
"He announced a zero tolerance policy toward looters in New Orleans. You know, some of those people are just desperate to feed their kids."
I wanted to shout and clap my hands, but I didn't want to spoil the first genuine thought he'd had in years. So I praised his cleverness and agreed in a number of ways. Then silently gloated. If that slimy piece of shit lost my Rushbot brother over this, then he has truly blown himself away. The sociopathic fuckstick is out in the open for all to see.
Fuck you George. You may finally begin getting what you deserve.
