According to The Washington Post, Elliot Abrams (of Iran-Contra fame) has been appointed to lead the National Security Council's office for Near East and North African affairs. The article says:

He pleaded guilty in 1991 to two misdemeanor counts of withholding information from Congress. Abrams received a Christmas Eve pardon from President George H.W. Bush in 1992.

And of course we know John Poindexter is running the new "Total Information Awareness Office" with the spooky eye-in the pyramid shooting some sort of ray at the Earth... And Henry Kissinger is in charge of the Sept. 11 investigation.

I've heard from many friends who's parents have views similar to those of mine: Republicans=good, Bill Clinton=devil. If you ask my dad, he'll tell you that Bill Clinton broke the law and flaunted it. He gave deceitful testimony and used manipulative language to obscure the law. George Bush is noble because he opposes that criminal Bill Clinton.

What could possibly be wrong with the Bush administration? Let's forget all about the Gulf War in the 90's, and assume it was all on the up-and-up. John Poindexter, Elliot Abrams and others (including Oli North), if you ask my dad, acted patriotically during the Iran-Contra affair. All they did was break the law, lie aobut it, hide it from congress, and use manipulative language to obscure the culpability of their superiors. Oh, and they unilaterally acted to destroy democracy in Nicaragua. Henry Kissinger is also unblemished: the worst he did was help orchestrate an illegal operation which unilaterally destroyed democracy in Chile. And he covered it up. Where the hell do them darkies get off thinkin they run their own fucking countries anyway?.

And after the Reagan years were over, Bush 1 ushered in a new era of pristine ethical and legal policy. All he did was pardon the criminals and re-appoint them to high places. And Bush II just picked up where his daddy left off: keeping the world safe for American patriotism.

So there's no question about how the Republicans stack up next to that rat bastard Clinton. At least no one is giving them any blowjobs.
