Nothing But Repeats Thursday, April 05, 2007
*

It has been awhile since my last blog, but really I haven’t had anything to say.  Everything in politics seems to be in repeats at the moment.  Key official in Bush’s administration under fire for lying about a politically motivated maneuver that cost people their jobs?  Check.  The White House backhandedly agrees to help then makes it as hard as possible to get to the bottom of it?  Check.  Bush has an ambassadorial nominee Congress won’t vote into office citing reasons of douchebaggery, so Bush appoints him anyway without Congressional approval?  Check.  A Clinton raises a butt load of money for their campaign?  Check.   Republicans and Democrats hate each other?  Double check.

So what is a political junkie to do?  Thankfully there was March Madness to fall back on…until Florida repeated their championship run, and beat Ohio State which was a repeat of the college football championship.  Damn.  There is a steroid scandal in baseball…crap.  Royals just lost…moving on.

Ok, well there is always the world of entertainment.  Brittney Spears is being weird.  Shit, seen that before.  Katie Holmes may be pregnant…F.  A star of the Fox show “simple Life” might end up in jail, no…some actress is getting a divorce…some pop star is whining about paparazzi…celebrity baby momma drama….Shit!  Nothing new there either.

So that is why I haven’t posted a blog in awhile, there has been nothing worth posting.  I could go on about Attorney General and his whacky mess, or how the White House said they would cooperate as long as it wasn’t official and didn’t count, plus it had to be off camera in private and in sign language translated into brail then it could be read to the Congressional committee by a Lithuanian that doesn’t speak English, but haven’t we covered that before with Scooter Libby?

I could also focus on Bush appointing Sam Fox, a Republican fundraiser that was facing a losing confirmation battle with Congress, mainly because of his unrepentant donations to the “Swift Boat Veterans for Truth”- oh, by the way, does everyone know that the Swift Boat vets that slammed Kerry for lying about his military records were pretty much proven beyond a shadow to be absolutely full of shit?  Yeah, most don’t, and it probably cost Kerry the election. Well that and his lack of personality, but still.  Anyway, Fox won’t apologize, and the Dems hate him a bunch, so Bush waited for Congress to adjourn and appointed him anyway as an ambassador.  Again.  Bolton’s term as UN ambassador expired, so Bush was due a “fuck you, that’s why” to Congress.  At least Fox is just ambassador of Belgium.  It isn’t like we can piss them off enough to declare war on us right?  Right?

So I will be back when the time is right, I just wanted to post something and say hi to both my faithful fans.
