A hundred and eighty days. Maybe a hundred and seventy-nine. At that point, unless you're one of the ones who believe he'll try to declare martial law and suspend the elections before that time (The RWers actually thought Clinton was going to do that too, btw--crazy fuckers), we can safely say that Bush will no longer be able to cause us any more serious harm.
The cabal that he represents, on the other hand, the same goatfucking shitbirds who gave us Watergate and Iran/Contra, are still going to be coiling behind the curtain and hatching new plots to continue the long, slow, painful screwing of the American people.
We'll still have the "drown government in the bathtub" skid marks trying their level best to convince Americans that regulation is bad, despite the fact that we've seen precisely what kinds of wonderful things that philosophy has produced in the past couple decades.
We'll still have the "greed is good" corporate assholes who want as close to 'something for nothing' from their workers as they can possibly manage. The anti-union, everyone for him/her self, "stab your brother in the back for that raise or promotion and you can someday be rich like me,' if you aren't gaining ground no matter how hard you work, it means you're not working hard enough, (and if the faith healer doesn't cure you, it means your faith isn't strong enough--same argument), 'the dictates from the Home Office are the Word of God and by damn we'll do it their way even if it's stupid as sucking up antifreeze through a straw,' 'advertising and political donations are the same as FREE SPEECH, don't you know,' crowd playing "Let's Make A Deal" with our elected "representatives."
We'll still have the usurious bankers and credit card people, not to mention the health insurance folks, who, if there was any true justice in the world, should explode when sunlight hits them. Who'll suck America dry given half a chance, then, when they too are starving because they've exhausted their food supply, will complain bitterly that someone should have stopped them.
We'll still have the batshit crazy religious right waving their dicks around and shouting "God said this and God said that," even though there's nothing in the nature of the universe we can observe that says that their religion is any more valid or invalid than any other, and that a band of jungle-dwelling primitives camped around a downed Cessna and its cargo of primo pot they've been using for religious ceremonies aren't actually closer to the Big Truth of existence than they are.
We'll still have the "Law and Order" assholes who think it's just A-Okay to throw people in prison for the use of relatively harmless substances based on laws originally created and maintained for racist purposes, despite the fact that the vast majority of those prosecuted (and persecuted) for using said substances have caused society far less problems than even the most casual drinker. You know, the kind of people who can know if someone's guilty of a crime the second they hear about it on TV, and hope that THEY get to be on the jury to "show that kind of scum that payback's a motherfucker."
We'll still have the anti-abortion freaks who can't get it through their thick skulls that if you want to prevent abortions, you need to provide comprehensive and frank education about contraceptive choices. One or the other, assholes. If you're going to let your religion dominate your thinking, you could at least insist that it's fucking CONSISTENT.
We'll still have dumbfucks like Joementum, who'd fuck a wildebeest if it meant he got to send our Amurkin boys over to kill some more goddamn A-Rabs.
We'll still have chickenshit, chickenhawk war-mongers who wouldn't mind bombing just about anyone, from Iran to France, if they didn't show us what they consider the proper deference and respect.
We'll still have disenchanted, disenfranchised non-voters, and the politicians who year after year prove to them that "they're all lying crooks" because it's only the crooked ones they bother to learn anything about.
We'll still have Republican congresscritters who, despite doing everything they can to distance themselves from everything Bushco represents as election season approaches, bought season tickets on the Bush Administration Roller Coaster of Shock, Awe, and "Go Fuck Yourself if you don't like it."
We'll still have the Democratic Representatives who couldn't raise their voices above a frightened squeak if the Republicans were reaming them with a length of rubber hose dipped in glue and rolled in glass because some fuckwit talking head might call them "partisan."
So, yeah, let's cheer the notion of Bush being tossed out of the White House when his term is up, packed up onto an old jalopy like the Beverly Hillbillies, and taking his kin back to the Crawford Ranch to live out the rest of his days in Infamy, but let's not forget that he's like the big pus-filled boil on Rush Limbaugh's expansive ass...just a sign of a more virulent infection under the skin. (In the case of Rush Limbaugh, the corruption is so deep, the boil is probably the least diseased part of him).
We don't want to make him the scapegoat, or let ANYONE try to blame all this on him. As far as I'm concerned, he doesn't deserve even a fraction of the blame. Considering how many different people have had their hands up his ass using him as a puppet, you could park a mack truck in there with room for a Imperial Star Destroyer to land beside it.
Bush is a stinking shit-stain on the history of our nation, but we should just look at him as the diarrhea caused by a raging flu virus. In this case, the disease is the orgy of mindless capitalistic greed, blood-thirstiness, and religious fanaticism that all the aforementioned groups engage in every minute of every day in this country.
When they call us "Bush Haters," we should just give them a feral smile and reply, "Oh, no. We feel sorry for Bush. We hate the REST of you assholes."
