More Political Ranting
First, Dick Cheney is human garbage. He just told Jim Lehrer that he doesn’t believe that the public disapproves of his actions and performance as vice president. When reminded of his historically low approval ratings, he said something to the effect that that’s not what he’s hearing from people. No kidding! Imagine that: Dick Cheney–the man who disappears from the public eye for long stretches; gives few interviews, especially to legitimate news organizations; spends a considerable amount of time in a bunker–doesn’t realize that an enormous majority of Americans think he bears considerable personal responsibility for much of the United States’ present difficulties. Cheney, lest we forget, has been wrong about almost every single thing that has happened in the past eight years. He would probably still tell you that there are weapons of mass destruction, and that Iraq really was in the last throes of the insurgency in 2005.
Second, what is wrong with this Timothy Geithner guy? If you’re just some regular dude, I can understand being confused about what has and hasn’t been withheld from your paycheck. But this guy is supposed to be running the Treasury Department? I think an awareness of your personal tax liability should be among the minimum qualifications to hold that job. Meanwhile, it seems the common denominator amongst all rich and powerful wankers is undocumented household employees. Two tips:
- If you’re rich enough to hire household help, you’re rich enough to hire a U.S. citizen. Don’t be so cheap.
- President-elect Obama should drop this guy. There’re better people out there.
