The Award for Most Obvious Observation Goes To...

Scott McClellan. Really, folks? Is he the one person we forgot to check in with when we were all running around wringing our hands about going to war? It was Scott McClellan all along? He was the only one who knew for sure that President Crazy Batshit was bluffing us all into some twisted ego-driven, propagandist fueled, sicko war in the Middle East?
I used to walk around muttering, much like my Grandpa B., that "if you're not completely outraged, you're not paying attention." I knew this war was a fiasco from the very moment the Commander in Chief started his nannering about the evils of Iraq and Saddam Hussein, coincidentally, his daddy's old buddy. I knew it - my friends knew it - strangers I met on the street fucking knew it. Who didn't know it? Oh, I forgot - you.
You didn't realize this was patent leather bullshit, did you. Not when they couldn't produce a single credible shred of evidence of chemical weapons. Not when the U.N. Inspectors couldn't come up with a single molecule of Anthrax in the whole of Iraq. Not when the international community, who had a few spies of their own on the ground, thankyouverymuch, outright protested and refused to go along with this whole sham. You still went along with it. Fine. I'll give you credit for sticking to your guns, Salty Joe. But if you insist on giving the entire administration a pass for "lessons learned" or "faulty intelligence" then you have to at least give the rest of us credit being so amazingly flabbergasted that no one is calling for Senate hearings and impeachment charges in light of the President's own Press Secretary admitting that the whole thing was a propagandist lie perpetrated on the American public.
What happened to us, folks? If this was 1998 instead of 2008, we'd be descending into political chaos, lashing out and calling every Senator, Congressman and Judge in the country and asking them to hold public hearings and drag the President into the town square for a naked whipping and castration.
But W didn't get a blowjob from an intern...instead he blew the hell out of a sovereign country. Don't get me wrong, Iraq has never been as socially progressive and prone towards individual liberty as, say, Tennessee, but there are also about 30 countries with worse records ahead of them in the Shame Line at the Morally Objectionable Savings and Loan.
Where's the outrage? Where are the shallow, pompous Senators and civic leaders pounding their righteous shoes on our pulpits? Where is the accountability?
Standing in line at Ace Hardware today, I actually heard an old retired fart tell the cashier that "all this hubbub is just pointless and a waste of time and money" since "he'll be gone in a year anyways." Really? Is that your moral highground shaking, or is it your meds?
If we're not going to "waste time and money" on pursuing the type of justice that examines and sifts through war crimes, fraud, propaganda, illegitimate use of armies and the slaughter of thousands of our own children and even more thousands of innocent foreigners, then perhaps the waste of time and money is actually the constitution that these men and women are out there fighting to preserve and protect. (I almost put that last phrase in quotes, but I didn't want to in any way lead you to think I feel their work, sweat, blood, tears and very lives are any less valiant than their sworn duties.)
Everytime I think I'm scraping the bottom of the shame cave that I feel for my government, this moron and his billionaire buddies give me a new low. Can't wait for him to be out of the White House - INDEED, but I do not think that our national and intentional ignorance of the gravity of his crimes is justified by any means.
There should be papers served at dawn tomorrow morning, and a fair and thorough investigation at once. We, as a nation, and especially those who serve and love service members, deserve nothing short of a transparent, fair, and very public waste of our time and money.
And the first person called up, should be Scott McClellan, whose self serving honesty should never be hailed as brave, heroic or admirable, but rather just as shameful in it's tardiness as his complicity at the time these moral and legal obligations to the public trust were broken.
