Unintentional Truth

Sometimes, in spite of all their best efforts, the news media accidentally tells the truth.

And for those of you who aren’t visual learners, allow the words of my new favorite columnist to expand upon that picture:

Here, then, is the new American motto, as reimagined by BushCo: Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, and we’ll let them die in a filthy and decrepit storm-ravaged American football stadium while our president languishes on vacation and ponders his oil futures and fondly remembers his good ol’ days of getting drunk at Mardi Gras before going AWOL from the military. God bless America.

But as I’ve said many times, President Nero is not the disease, merely a symptom. If he’s guilty of being crooked and stupid and utterly incompetent and The Worst. President. Ever (and he is most assuredly that), equally guilty are all the paid enablers in the media who cover for and whitewash his uncountable lies and fuckups, and the voters who returned him to office last year, despite the indisputable evidence of his massive unsuitability for the job. And now that DubYa’s stupidity and corruption has caused the needless loss of lives of American civilians, Michael Moore has a few pointed questions for those Bush voters. They probably won’t listen, of course, but they’ve been tone deaf for five years now, so why would this situation be any different?
