The thing is the minute the Repugnicans get caught with their pants down
they will just go "LOOK, Jesus-less Muslims that want to hurt America!"
and the CNN/FOX watching America will follow whatever nonsensical plan
they put forward.
A former governor of Lousiana used to boast that the public wouldn't
care what he did unless he was found in bed with a dead girl or live boy
and that's pretty much true of most politicians.
Speaking of which, did you hear Anna-Nicole Smith is dead?

No one wants to proclaim that Muslims are backward savages because
mostly Christians and Jews are also pretty much backward savages on
freedom and democracy and women's rights too. Israeli's do Nazi shit
taking away Palestinians lands and homes and wonder what all the fuss is
about. In America Christians have almost exclusively been on the wrong
side of everything from slavery to civil and women's rights yet proclaim
that their amusing god blesses America.

Well poor Tony being Bush's bottom and all he never had a chance. The
Queen has bigger balls than that milquetoast. The world really is upside
down these days.
Why I remember when a fat old out of shape bald politician could be
thought of as a lion!

Meh, they didn't even do a cool FX for his "hanging". He just dropped
out of frame and then they switched to a mannequin. But the public
bought it all the same. Kind of a letdown to the whole build-up, but
then a lot of tv series go out with a whimper. They can't get guys to
commit to the parts anymore.
Like the crazy old coot they got to play Khomeini back in the 70s. I
think previously he played the part of the guy who hands the hard boiled
eggs to Newman in "Cool Hand Luke" and then the CIA hires him for the
Ayatollah part and he really grew that beard.
Actors just don't commit to a part like that anymore.

Well, as sweet as his human parents were they could have screwed up
potty training too. Can you imagine a terrible two year old KLINGON?
I don't think you could have a family pet.

Yeah, but they aren't politically motivated to kill much of anyone
except each other. And the occasional robbery gone wrong.

It could happen.
