An Irony Poor Diet...

Isn't it funny how on the same day that "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" accused Senator Kerry of "lying about atrocities in Viet Nam" their employer President Bush was "outraged" on Arab TV over allegations that our troops were sticking brooms up the bungholes of Iraqi prisoners-among other sundry brutalities.
John O'Neill (a Chuck Colson discovery back in the heady days of the White House Plumbers) calls John Kerry "unfit" to be President. Meanwhile the man who is now paying his bills goes hat in hand to Arab television promising "justice" for those Iraqis who were saddled and rode like donkeys by U.S. Troops.
Yet somehow at the same time, Bush manages to not apologize for these gruesome activities....being the Overseer of Plantation USA apparently means never having to say you are sorry.
We are truly reached post-irony civilization in this country.
In the good old days poor threadbare hypocrisy would pay a few shekels to a demigod named virtue and go on hustling for a bite to eat.
Now, hypocrisy has knifed virtue and dragged it's carcass up and down Pennsylvania Avenue live on national television.
We are so beyond mere revulsion at hypocrisy, these days a blatant double standard is enshrined as the norm and guarded jealously by a legion of pundits, activists, paid private security forces and ghod knows how many campus conservative bundists.

Sick
Demented
Typical
