PhD in Cynicism Earned, Frat House Pledgemaster Heads Home

Politics attracts a very low class of people. It becomes a game: how to manipulate the images that the public sees so that you remain in office. It eventually exhausts itself in the second term of a Presidency and the end is never pretty. Clinton's pardons come to mind. Bush's failed Presidency with all its deceit and overseas chaos will be far worse. Clinton seems quaint. The Washington Post had an article today about how much the Hillary Clinton campaign admires Karl Rove. The media in Washington are so enamored of whoever is in power they all just breathlessly repeat how "powerful" a White House adviser Karl Rove was. The current crop of journalists just swoon when they get access to any huckster who favors them with inside information. Blecchhh!!! I would say something about how I can't wait for 1-20-09 but I'm afraid thats just the beginning of another cycle of corruption. It'll have a little different flavor but it'll have a very familiar odor.
