I was watching the incredibly sexy and intelligent Tucker Carlson today....(pause to clear vomit from esophagus and mouth)....when he said something like....
Ok let's presume for a moment that Bush IS evil ....as Democrats claim
When the proverbial light bulb clicked on and it occurred to me that I was wrong.....Bush is NOT evil! never had been! Tucker was right!!!
(pause for defibrillation)
George W. Bush is NOT evil!!! Not at all!!!!! He's actually just a nice guy that is being really challenged by incredibly difficult times! Sure he is not the smartest guy in the world, but our President has NEVER been THE smartest guy in the world! Why should Bush be any different? Perhaps no one else could have done better...or for that matter...even as well!
I realized at that point that I had been COMPLETELY SUCKERED by the Liberal Media and Left Wing Propaganda!
Suddenly everything I know .....is WRONG
Damned liberals had snookered me! Damned media had done me wrong! Everything I had said or written for six LOOOOOOONg years, everything I had written here, was.....completely incorrect......but at least it wasn't MY fault!!! Damn you Anderson Cooper!
It was very liberating, no longer being under the yoke of the shrill paranoia of the cheap suit Commies in the VLWC!
Golly!, I thought.... Now I didn't have to be mad that my President reminded me of a Low Rent Il Duce every time I saw him! I need no longer cringe when it occurred to me that the greatest country in the world was being run by folks who The RICO act could have been conceived and invented for! That I now could hold my head high instead of low and in shame at the thought of a homeland that was once the Beacon of Freedom and Justice throughout the world invading a Sovereign Nation preemptively, for no verifiable reason...and occupying it and killing and torturing its occupants for four years after allowing the relics and antiquities of the very roots of mankind's "civilization" be looted and destroyed while carelessly enabling the country to slide inexorably toward a bloodbath of religious civil war!!! The thought of the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in history, due to my new buddy George's tax policies! I could stop being terrified and horrified by this
dmoma
.
and kick back a little and start to enjoy life again!
.
.
.
Truly, and on every level of my thought and being.......Happy days were here again! I not only felt better about the world and my country....I felt goshdarn good about myself!
.
.
But, lo and behold and woe is me, the brain does not shift gears that easily! I remembered what I had been working so hard to achieve for so long. The long list of reasons to impeach and all those impeachable offenses...

That my deepest desire for a chunk of my life had been to see this come to fruition....
Thankfully though it was just a momentary glitch and the little voice in my head brought me back to my new found sanity
.
As Fox news' Fred Barnes said (yet again) today about the the Prosecutor/Patriot Act scandal today...there is NON story here, there is NO crime in The Plame Treason. Move Along, move along...everything is just fine and it is just the Liberal media and Shrill Bush Haters on the Blogs who were confusing me with their Pesky Facts and Verity.....But it turned out that thinking about the blogs was a mistake...a horrid and grievous blow to my new found happiness and semi-certainty!
Those dark insidious doubts began to creep in yet again when I thought of a diary I had read recently (that SHOULD have made the rec list) Could I be wrong ......about being wrong?
The List from the euphoniously named The Big E and the commenters haunted me....

* On the Senate floor, Cheney tells Democrats to "fuck off"
* Bush loses popular vote in 2004 election
* Bush admits that NSA has been monitoring US citizens communication without FISA permissions, claims that NSA does not need FISA permissions and that FISA permissions inhibit the War on Terror
