The West Wing Wankers

You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one:
A card-carrying member of the Washington GOP establishment with close ties to the White House recently encountered several senior presidential aides at a dinner and came away shaking his head at their “no problems here” mentality.
“There is just no introspection there at all,” he said in exasperation. “It is everybody else’s fault - the press, gutless Republicans on the Hill. They’re still in denial.”
Not ready to throw in the towel and declare the boss a lame duck, the Bushies are hoping two issues can help firm up their base and perhaps make inroads with centrists who voted for Bush: the anticipated confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito, and a plan to reinforce the border with Mexico to help stop illegal immigration.
This week Bush will begin to press the border security issue, while Alito’s Senate confirmation hearings start early next year. Aides hope those issues will draw attention away from the war and leak probe.
Wait! What if a massive hologram of Jesus holding an American flag appeared, hovering over the White House? And what if He pointed to the presidential quarters, proclaiming loudly, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased”?
Those guys have drunk way too much Kool-Aid Alito has no chance. And folks really are not gonna get worked up about immigrants while the Katrina disaster unfolds.
And in the Furher’s bunker, in April 1945, they thought that 12-year-olds boys and elderly men, left up on the surface, would defeat the battle-hardened Russian divisions.
You know, Susie, it’s really tough not to write Esquire-like “Dubious Awards” headings for these news items… This is what we’ve come to, as a nation.
Dammit, Suzie, don’t give them any ideas!
Of course, with their luck, Jesus will probably end up pointing at the head Groundskeeper’s building at Lafayette Park…
“Whadd’ya mean you don’t like me anymore, Karl? Karen, what’s he talkin’ ’bout?”
Yeah, I couldn’t believe it either. They’re going to re-energize their administration by inflaming the hatred of racists and sexists.
It’s almost like Howard Dean is writing their agenda for them.
_What if a massive hologram of Jesus holding an American flag appeared, hovering over the White House? And what if He pointed to the presidential quarters, proclaiming loudly, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased�?_
And what if Jeff Gannon then walked out of the presidential quarters?
BYW, has anyone investigated why he was given the free run of the WH?
Iz, lots of people have, but nobody’s talking, not the secret service, not the WH, and not Jeff. You might try Americablog, I think they have an archive of the story.
