Stupid and corrupt Republican leadership

by Pavel C., Unknown News
October 8, 2007

The question of whether or not Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho) should resign turns not on whether or not he is gay. The fact that, according to the Toilet Police, Craig peered through the door crack inside the officer's stall, and not just once, but over a period of minutes, is also not germane to whether or not Craig should resign.  
"Republicans aren't happy with [Sen. Craig]. They want him out of there. A lot of them have stopped talking to him. Some have stopped having sex with him."

Peering into another person's stall is an assault on privacy, but we already know that the Senate believes that the government should be snooping into the lives of every American, so this is not news; perhaps he
Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho)
was looking for Osama Bin Laden! Or, perhaps he was attempting a reverse sting operation, trying to bust a gay cop...

Yeah. Uh huh.

No, the real issue about Larry Craig as a leader of the American People is his inability to make a correct judgement when something out of the ordinary occurs, something not in the Senator's Handbook. Imagine, a rich Senator spending three weeks trying to decide whether or not to plead guilty, unable to even take steps to hire a personal lawyer to counsel him. And then after unwisely pleading guilty, when the news came out he hired himself an attorney! Talk about closing the barn door after the cows got out.

The man is either butt stupid or he has severe psychological problems and should be receiving medical care, not voting on whether or not to start or end wars.

I do not believe Larry Craig is an exception. It may well be that the majority of Senators and Representatives are stunningly unfit for
making effective executive decisions, and suffer from grave psychological problems that only their official status keeps hidden. The surprise is that every once in a while the American newspapers and television news shows report the crimes and peccadilloes of these Mental Defectives.

Take Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens. He had his entire house "remodeled", which was in actuality a major upgrade that elevated the first floor and installed an entire other floor beneath it. He paid a token sum of money, like $70,000, and when caught red-handed he tried to pretend that he didn't know that the work was being done below cost as a form of bribe. But isn't it more believable that he is just another rich Republican Senator, grown stupid and unreliable after long years collecting "contributions" and voting in accordance with the desires of his contributors?

After more than two centuries of creating the laws that govern themselves, the American Senate and House of Representatives have grown stupid and corrupt, like two-ton hogs living and mating inside a candy factory. These people are a fucking joke. All of them.

(And we haven't even discussed the effects of inbreeding on the degenerate Bush Clan, wherein each generation is shorter, dumber, greedier and less able to retain power without the support of other corrupt forces in the American establishment.)
