Political Theater
Edited on Mon Aug-27-07 08:10 PM by NanceGreggs
The story so far ...

Little George launches Shock & Awe :wow: and invades Iraq in an attempt to free the people of both their evil dictator :evilfrown: and their oil.

George then changes into an appropriate costume and declares "Mission Accomplished!" :patriot:

Back on the home front, George & Pals :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: go about shredding the Constitution on the basis that it will protect Americans :hide: from the terrorists - especially the ones he's now creating all over the world.

Things in Iraq are not going as well as predicted :o , and people are getting a tad skeptical :eyes: :eyes: :eyes: about the whole Noble Cause thing. Our troops die :cry:, Iraqis die :cry:, the debt keeps piling up :banghead:, but George & Pals keep reminding everyone that these are all signs of SUCCESS :woohoo:

Katrina hits and the country feels secure knowing that Michael Brown :dunce: is IN CHARGE, a man as capable as all of George's other :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: appointees!


Things are not looking good for George & Pals as the country heads into the mid-term elections.

The Dick reminds everyone what will happen :nuke: if people don't keep the Republicans :silly: :silly: in office, especially now that the insurgency is its in last throes :scared:.

George continues with his working vacations :beer:, secure in the knowledge that Karl B-) has the math, so no need to worry about the Democrats :hippie: :hippie: :hippie: being in a position to park their tree-huggin' asses in seats where they might start pokin' around in what's been going on.

But lo and behold, Karl didn't have the math after all :argh: , and those damned :dem: took the majority, and started their investigations, :kick:

So Rove decides to spend more time with his family :P :P :P, and Gonzo - after answering questions :shrug: in a straightforward :shrug: and honest manner :shrug: - also decides, after much soul-searching :hangover: that he has to resign due to the those terrible things the :dem: have said about him :nopity:

How many MORE Republican martyrs, who still had so much to GIVE their country, are going to be saying goodbye :hi: :hi: :hi: in the weeks and months to come?

How many MORE will be forced to resign as a result of investigations getting a little too close for comfort :blush:, or as a result of engaging in perfectly acceptable sexual proclivities :freak: ?

Will this persecution of fine, upstanding GOPers :blush: never end:banghead:?

Well, let's hope not! I'm sitting back :popcorn:, ready to watch the rest of the show :applause: - which, by the way, will NOT be covered by our ever-vigilant :tv: :daily: :radio:

2. Finally, a recap of the Bush years even Bush might understand
even though ya gotta few too many, um, words in there. No matter, he's intellectually curious according to some of the women who work for him...:eyes: I'm sure he'll figure it out.
