Bush a Felonious Clunk, McClellen Reports
It surprises not that archeologists now think Stonehenge marks a burial ground for cremated notables of three millennia ago.
The place the only time I viewed it reminded me of several marble orchards I had visited here and there on the West Coast save, perhaps, for a handful of shabbily dressed middle-aged white folks performing incensed Druid rituals in and among the sightseers enduring the rain and wind that sweep Stonehenge.
The archeologists say they’ve figured out the place was used by worthies with clout because a few objects signifying power have shown up in the holes containing ashes, bone remnants, teeth.
George W. Bush intends to be buried there, not cremated but whole, clutching a symbol of his presidential days, a copy of Mad Magazine.
This news about Stonehenge broke along with reports of White House counterattacks upon the sanity and sense of Scott McClellan, Bush’s former press secretary, whose new book reports that Dr. Goebbels could have profited by taking propaganda lessons from the President, VP Cheney, Carl Rove and other liars.
McClellan offers such tidbits as that Bush told a friend that the parties he used to attend were so wild he couldn’t remember whether he had snorted cocaine and that Bush admitted in private that he had authorized leaking the name of Valerie Wilson, an undercover CIA agent, to the press, as a way of getting back her husband.
Such leaking is a felony under federal law. No one took a direct fall for the leak. But Bush and Cheney generously let I. Lewis Libby Jr., Cheney’s right hand, go to prison for lying to FBI agents and a grand jury investigating the crime. Betting’s strong that Bush will pardon Libby, the good soldier but bad liar, before Bush leaves the White House next January.
Naturally these worthies and their flunkies now attack McClellan as a nut case for speaking of these family matters best left unvoiced, at least in polite Republican circles, where rich white folks dream up ways for poor whites, blacks, asiatics and hispanics to get themselves killed in Army uniforms.
They dare not attack McClellan, of course, of having been looney when he fronted for Bush, Cheney and Rove before the whining White House press corps. That would imply that Bush et. al. were lunatics too. So they do the obvious: Go tch-tch that McClellan’s lost his way and is lying about them now to make a few bucks, or worse, to get belly rubs from liberal elitist New York book editors.
Oh, the horror of it! The truth, that is.
