The Democrats: Blowing It Again

To all you Democrats who are appalled because Cheney didn’t divulge his little hunting accident right away, let’s draw a comparison to another event involving executive leadership and matters of privacy and disclosure: The Monica Lewinsky scandal.

At the time, the Democrats claimed the impeachment hearing was a travesty and that what President Clinton did on his own time was None of Our Goddamned Business.

However, these same Democrats have a Huge Problem with Vice President Cheney’s failure to report the hunting incident within 24 hours.

By these new Democratic standards, Clinton should’ve called a press conference within 10 minutes of shooting Monica Lewinksy in the face.

Peggy Noonan was on “This Week” this morning.

If she’s the best the Democratic talking heads have to offer, then that party – in a word – is fucked.

She claims that Cheney should be relieved of his Vice Presidential duties because of this incident.

Forget about the Haliburton thing. Or the secret oil meetings. Or Cheney’s influence on behalf of Enron in the California energy crisis. It’s likely these events have hurt thousands if not millions of American citizens.

But let’s kick him out for injuring one rich old white guy. Sure makes sense to me.

Everyone keeps saying what a rough week it’s been for Cheney. The poor guy.

“He’s a very private individual and this has caused him a lot of stress.”

Question: If you’re a very private individual, what the fuck are you doing in politics?

Confession: Jim helped me with that Lewinsky thing. It was my concept, but I was in over my head and tending toward detailed grossness when I asked for his advice.

“Heather, humor is all about subtlety. You don’t need to spell it out. ‘After she performed fellatio and he ejaculated on her forehead’ is just not as funny.”

Democrats: Please, please get your shit together.

I didn’t much like voting Libertarian in that last election. It felt good, but wasteful – like not eating the last bite of a really big cookie.

You guys have had plenty of time to figure it out and yet you fall back into the same old tired shit.

Be refreshing. Say something intelligent. Point out the obvious.

“This Cheney thing is silly. Who cares what he does on his own time? What I’m concerned about and what you should be concerned about is what he’s done on your dime.” - Insert Democratic Rising Star Here
