For the millionth time, pundits represent a body of emptiness not seen in history. Their so-called ‘expertise’ in this issue or that are little more than plagiaristic mirrorings of tragedies suffered in real time by the good people who are forced to carry out the whims of flawed superiors; superiors who far too often have developed their recklessness from a detached and luxurious exterior.
At any given time; on any given network, ‘panels’ of whorish parasites wave their arms about in unison, each proclaiming the brilliance of their second-hand opinions above the ramblings of the other until the air thickens with the swirling funk of self sustaining, unanalyzed, unfounded reactionary rubbish; from which no benefit is ever gleaned by the people who suffer and starve as a consequence of the muddled core of the ‘issues.’
All of this: all of the $2,000 dollar checks being thrown about; all of the green room appetizers and coffee, all of the perks of enjoying national exposure, all of the nice suits, book plugs and implied steak dinners; all of this equals nothing.
The stark clarity of what the reality is and what must be done about it is buried under a trillion talking points. However, its immensity ensures its visibility at all times and despite the number of flailing armed overstatements that try to conceal it:
Our President lied us into an illegal war. Due to his simple-minded incompetence and his regard for loyalty over credibility, his Administration has endlessly failed to prosecute the war. Thus, they have endangered our nation’s youth and security.
Pundits can flounder all they like. The above statement represents unmitigated reality. Despite the love of their own voices, pundits time and again regurgitate their blatherings in hopes to revitalize this obsolete debate. For, January brings us a new Congress and with it, there will be boatloads of investigation into this.
The potential impeachment of this horrid President is a wonderful possibility; however, the fact that trumps even that grand possibility is that people are unjustly and unnecessarily dying. Therefore, the primary question we must focus on is as follows:
“In which way can the United States exit Iraq that preserves the highest possible number of human lives?”
Nary a once have I heard a single beveled square box animate itself with this basic notion. Rather, the righteous quest to obtain a methodology of our inevitable pullout that will ensure the least possible loss of human life is replaced by preposterous grumblings over perceptions of whether Americans won or lost the war. Worse, it seems that many of these inept bastards seem more concerned about what some kid thinks of the President fifty years from now than the kid who lies legless and bleeding while his parents are unceremoniously cremated.
To hell with the ‘American reputation.’ It is shattered; but not beyond repair. When the time comes, the only way it can be restored is by acknowledgement of its temporary recklessness and god given fallibility and a national pursuit of action toward compassionate reparations in the wake of the worst Presidency in our history. Wouldn’t the deliberate attempt to preserve as much life as possible be a tremendous start?
To hell with the legacy of George W. Bush: In a nutshell, the man will be remembered as the despicable fool whose corrupt negligence resulted in exponential increases of preventable death from the mouth of the Mississippi to the distant shores of the Tigris river. “Why couldn’t those people see it” will be resurrected and applied to the broad examination of contemporary American history.
Our focus must be on the preservation of human life in light of the blatant failings of our President. Who are we as a people if we cannot look beyond the lazy comforts that insulate us? In other words, pundits, F**K your check and your steak dinner. Open your mouth about it.
