Deadly Dubai Deal

What’s it going to take, guys? We should be mounting a full-scale protest! We’ve got President George W. Bush who can’t find his ass with two hands and a Senate probe because he’s mentally incompetent, not because he drinks, which he does. We’ve got Vice President Dick Cheney who has just shot a man in the face because he does drink even though he’s had two DUI’s and is so medically impaired he has to keep an emergency medical team on-tap to monitor his meds and the second-by-second status of his diseased heart. We’ve got Dick Cheney’s advisor, Scooter Libby, who was indicted and resigned and now says Cheney ordered him to leak Valerie Plame’s name. We’ve got the President’s advisor Karl Rove, who is being investigated by a grand jury. We’ve got the State Department forcing employees to support White House policies or get fired. We’ve got 2,277 American soldiers who have been killed in the Bush administration’s ill-conceived, badly managed and unnecessary war in Iraq. We’ve got 16,549 American soldiers officially counted as wounded in Iraq, but the number may be as high as 48,000. We’ve got everyone in the world hating us, and perhaps even worse, laughing at us. And now, would you believe? We’ve got the rat-faced, squeak-voiced, shifty-eyed, bungling head of the impotent, useless, limp-dick Homeland Security Department, Michael Chertoff, telling us that selling six East Coast ports to the United Arab Emirates is a good and proper thing and is for our security. Inconceivable as Chertoff’s position may be, our incompetent, grandiose, narcissistic president who also has to be mega-medicated lest he throw a hissy fit at any given moment on any given day has said that the secret negotiations for the sale of the ports to Dubai Ports World is final and will go forward on March 2nd no matter what. This entire country is acting like it has battered woman syndrome: He said he’ll protect me, he’ll kill me if I complain, he’s really thinking of my best interests, he has to be tough to show he loves me, I’m scared of him, I have to sleep with him and he rapes me, he drinks, he’s mean, what can I do? And NOW: He sold me to a bunch of slimy Middle East businessmen as part of an oil deal...waaaaahhhhh!!! Wait until Dubai says to the Prez, “Don’t mess with us, girl!” Because unless the people in the United States who still can think for themselves DO SOMETHING, that’s exactly what is going to happen.
