I don't know about the rest of you, but for a few weeks (months?) I have been frustrated that the the list Rethug failures seems so large that words fail. Some well-meaining ought-to-know-better repeats the latest Rove-Fake News talking point and I
know I can release a huge can of whoop-ass on his misinformed self... but by the time I got halfway through he'd have long since lost interest and wandered off to be spoon-feed this day's new and improved misinformation.
What I needed, I realized, was a nice, short way to encapsulate the worst of their sins (Not near all of them, just the worst). I came up with this:
W.E.A.K. N.I.N.C.O.M.P.O.O.P.S.
W = WMDs
E = Economy sucks for 5 years, lowest GDP growth, falling wages, rising poverty
A = Abramoff
K = Katrina
N = 9/11, Only BushCo 'couldn't have anticipated it'. Eveyone else seems to have.
I = Iraq
N = NSA spying
C = Cronies
O = Osama Bin Laden, still laughing about getting away with mass murder
M = Medicare part D
P = Palme
O = Oil uber alles
O = all the Other Scandals
P = Ports
S = Secret Prisons
Sure, its not poetry. I know many of you can do better. So, let's hear it!
