So maybe your far-right political party has a Vice President who's polling lower than Goering and a recently-disgraced former CIA chief who's widely credited with finishing off a rather important agency (that'd be the CIA). Your president's at 31% approval and headed lower. Your House members are mired in scandal. What in the effin' hell do you do?
Medals! Darth Cheney and Porter Goss used to be House members, right? Shit - Hastert, the Tyranosasurus of Turpitude, can give them big shiny medals! That'll make everything alright ... right?
Hmmm - O.K., lessee ... maybe ... maybe we'll have Cheney land on the deck of an aircraft carrier, see, then ...

Maybe they can get Cheney on tax evasion and he'll have to resign like good ol' Spiro Agnew. Bush is approaching Nixon territory in his approval ratings, but his Veep might be the first one to go.

When I read about he and Goss getting those awards I just started laughing. Sounds like a skit on Saturday Night Live, doesn't it?
I guess I laughed because that's how people act when they have lost their mind in a state of high frustration.

How hilarious. This Badminsitration's tendency to toss a medal at anyone who fucks up really badly isn't helping its image, in my opinion. Everyone knows it's just another way to cover up something. Everyone who's anyone, anyway.

How wonderful. I suppose before Bush get's run out of town he'll look like and italian Admiral if total incompetence is the standard, as it seem to be.

You must be a redneck if yew added their approval ratings, 'n yew wouldn't reach fitty percent!

Wow. Just wow.

Yeah, absolutely. Let's drop a parachute-clad Cheney onto the deck of an aircraft carrier.
Those aircraft carriers look a lot smaller from way up in the sky, you know.

Dick Cheney is a great man and deserves a medal for serving our country in this moment of crisis! He is defending us from the Islamofascists in Iran who wish to bomb us with their nucular weapons!

First of all, there's no way the Veep would land on a carrier. Dick's strictly a bomber kind of guy!

LOL!

What? No medal for PokeHer Goss?

Really? See, i don't recall him in any B-52s back in Nam...
*DRINKING* them, maybe. Listening to them, doubtful, but flying? NO way!

Interesting how Bush is totally ignoring the direction of polls. I mean seriously, it makes me think he does not give a shit as he is not running for re-election. Still, one has to wonder about his constituents, do they not see Democrats taking over soon? I seem to have noticed that Rupert Murdock is buddying up with Hillary Clinton. Good thing for the rich corporations that the Democrats are just as willing to sell out as the republicans...

Everyone has won and all must have prizes. Not sure if we're living in Alice's Wonderland or Orwell's not so wonderful world.
