Ideological Bedfellows


Your private sector efficiency.

Shrub played GEE-tar and shoveled birthday cake down his pie hole while New Orleans flooded and the Mississippi/Louisiana Gulf Coast was ravaged, James Cayne golfed and played bridge while his company went belly-up, screwing millions of shareholders. Jeff Skilling played adventure boy while Enron crashed and burned. Oh, and Shrub likewise play-acted, did the dress up thing, brayed "Mission Accomplished," and then yapped "Bring 'em on" at a time when a REAL mess was brewing in Mesopotamia.

Amazing...especially when you consider the sheer volume of shrill wingnuttia's expended over the mythological "strapping young buck" buying T-bones with his food stamps...or the Cadillac welfare queen, etc. etc. Meanwhile, the real thieves are running the country into the ground with hardly more than the occasional fluff piece, like the one gushing on about how Cayne "loves any movie that stars Halle Berry"...or the revelation in today's sad little story about "executives...putting their weekend homes on the market." Gosh, it just brings a tear to your eye, don't it?

And you STILL can't find good, cheap, legal help these days..
