   Spam Karma, eh? Well, Lennon said it best: “Instant karma’s gonna get you.” (Heh. John Lennon. Stupid leftist.) Here’s some spam for you. Enjoy. It’s nutritious. The Hawaiians love the stuff.

   You made a claim over Adam’s Blog that I’m a kool-aid drinking idiot leftist who hates George W. Bush. I wasn’t sure if you’d stop back over to his pad, so I’ve come to respond.

   Jo, I don’t hate George W. Bush. As you observed, I haven’t met the man. In fact, if I met him in the hotel bar of a Hilton, I bet we’d get along really well. Especially if I met him a few years ago, when we could tell a few raunchy jokes, watch a game on the big screen, and get rip-roaring drunk. Maybe if I’m lucky he offers to share a couple of lines of coke. Of course, he’ll have to drive us home; he’s much better at getting out of DUIs. (Lord knows we can’t let Laura drive; who knows who she’ll run over and kill next.)

   What I hate is that George W. Bush is our president and has done more in five years to destroy this country than Osama bin Laden could ever have hoped for or any “tax-and-spend liberal” could ever accomplish. We’ve got small government conservatives defending a man who’s grown the government to gargantuan levels, fiscal responsibility conservatives defending a man who’s grown the budget and trade deficits to record levels, law-and-order conservatives defending a man who’s authorized warrantless wiretapping in blatant disregard for the law and Constitution, Christian conservatives defending a man whose equivocation of “torture” makes Bill Clinton shake his head and wonder “they impeached me for ‘is’?”, national security conservatives who have no problem outing covert agents in a time of war for partisan revenge, and all the while STILL trying to pin it all on Bill Clinton.

   Seriously, take any of these alleged MoveOn talking points (which is NOT where I get my questions; I don’t need political groups or Howard Dean to do my thinking for me) and just insert “Hillary Clinton” wherever the name “George Bush” appears, and honestly tell me you wouldn’t be pulling the impeachment card and screaming from the high hills. I’ll get you started:

   “Today, President Hillary Clinton authorized the NSA to ignore the 1978 FISA law to wiretap domestic phone calls if Attorney General Alan Dershowitz believes one end of the call might be an al Qaeda sympathizer. Attorney General Dershowitz and National Security Advisor Wesley Clark claim the Constitution and the Congressional Authorization of Military Force give Mrs. Clinton the authority to bypass FISA in a time of war. Those sentiments were echoed today by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi in a radio interview given on today’s Randi Rhodes radio show.”

   And, for your information, while most of my opinions are left of yours, I wouldn’t call myself a “leftist”. Many of my positions differ from orthodox liberal dogma (for example, I think citizens should be allowed to possess 50-cal machine guns, body armor, and shoulder-launched rockets. Not a very popular stance with my Liberal and Green buddies.)

   But go ahead, skip the questions, just like you’ve skipped any recognition of the objective documentation of the crimes, corruption, cronyism, and incompetance of this administration over the last five years. Because as long as the faith-based money faucet is flowin’, the gay bashing continues, the blastocysts are fetishized, the Muslims are demonized, and the Praise Jesus talkin’ continues, you can just close your eyes, trust your Born-Again™ president, and pray everything will be alright. Me, I don’t have that luxury.

   9/11. Katrina. Torture. Abramoff. DeLay. Cunningham. Brownie. Osama free. Your President. Your Congress. Your Party.
