Free-Floating Bush Angst: Some Suggestions to Save Our Country Before It’s Too Late
by RARothTallTales

The fresh sting of the Libby verdict and the Walter Reed fiasco are signs that the political maelstrom surrounding the Bush 43 White House has only begun to gather. The vilest, most disreputable, profligate and secretive administration in this nation’s relatively brief history is in need of a grand unraveling. For the sake of our troops dying needlessly in a needless war, and the very existence of the nation itself, it can’t happen fast enough. And while the wheels of justice are turning in the right direction, the pace is staggeringly, hazardously sluggish. Here are some things we can implement to expedite the process:

1) Subpoena the White House. Everyone. Even the standing structure itself. As the saying goes, “if those walls could talk.” Get Lindy England on the case and they will. Like Abu Ghraib, she’ll construct a gay pyramid, with the White House piled atop the Washington and Lincoln Monuments, in accordance with Donald Rumsfeld’s book The Guide to Kinder and Gentler Torture, foreword by Alberto “Those Quaint Geneva Conventions” Gonzalez.

2) Once the Toxic Twins testify under oath about the lead-up to the Iraq war, we can effortlessly impeach Bush and Cheney. Everyone knows they will lie. They won’t be able to help but lie. Lying is ingrained in the very fiber of their beings. Name three times Bush or Cheney has given a straight and honest answer to an imperative inquiry concerning of the Iraq war. Two? One? Having never exercised the truth in public, that group of “mental muscles” is cripplingly atrophied in Cheney, and conspicuously absent in the George “vent dummy” that will sit in Uncle Dick’s lap throughout the hearings. During the proceedings, I predict Nancy Pelosi will scream, “Hand check!” after which Bush will slump forward and slam his head on the table, throwing a cloud of Maine poplar sawdust in the air.

3) Under a special provision of the Patriot Act, Bush and Cheney are declared enemy combatants and sent to Guantanamo Bay for a little “fun in the sun”. If you doubt there is such a provision in the Patriot Act, then read it. That will make you the first person on Earth to endeavor to read the largest rollback of civil rights in US history.

4) With Heckle and Jeckle out of the way, Nancy Pelosi becomes President of the United States and brings our troops home the next day, and Iraq goes on as usual—Sunnis killing Shiites and vice versa—just without any “referees” to interfere with their “meaningful dialog” of Mosque and market square bombings.

5) Raise taxes on the richest Americans and richest corporations. Someone has to pay for the Iraq war, so it might as well be the people who profited the most from that war, or lost the least because of it, unlike our critically wounded veterans, the ever-shrinking middle class, and the ever-growing ranks of the poor.

6) Apologize to the world.
