JUDGMENT DAY, USA

Oh, the clamor and the rancor of it all! The saga of the pompous American philandering potentates continues. Two governors of New York and one mayor of Detroit have joined the growing “BILL CLINTON SOCIETY OF ETHICS AND MORALS.” Oh, we hear, “The Democratic Party is disintegrating,” as if the Republicans are epitomes of sainthood.

Well, the new New York governor is undoubtedly going to keep his job. Who cares if he does coke, pot and screws around? He’s black and half-blind, so he gets a free pass.

Rationalizing right along… There was the mayor of Washington, D.C., (so happens to be our nation’s capitol), who bought and sold cocaine and took bribes, got tossed out of office on his way to jail, served time and got re-elected…. Well, he was black and everyone knows that the charges were trumped up, anyway, (forget the video).

How about some non-political idols? The daughter of a well-known and famous hotelier who did porno films, modeling, high-class acting, coke and booze…. That’s her, the one who thumbed her nose at the law and did a couple of days in the pokey because of it. Or her actress friend, also a porno star, coke and booze addict, mother…. who continues to be followed by flocks of reporters and to headline nightly entertainment news?

Let’s not forget the President who approved of the burglary at a Washington office and apartment complex, then actively participated in the cover-up until the day Congress decided to pass an article of impeachment against him, thereby forcing him to resign. Well, that was okay, of course, because of his great China policy, so he deserved…was entitled to…a Presidential pardon.

And, of course, the “other” President, who lied under oath, pardoned hundreds of federal prisoners on his way out the door, sanctioned the pillaging of White House computers and office equipment as his helicopter lifted him for the last time…the guy who gave new meaning to the word, “is.” He’s got a cute southern drawl, beautiful hair, and a nation full of sex-crazed women dying to know what’s so different about “the angle of his dangle.”

Try and teach your kids about morals and ethics in THIS climate!

Now, then, back to the Presidential campaign: we have, on the one hand, a candidate who shocks the nation into reality when they discover that he’s been going to church and listening to hate-white-America speeches for 20 years. Come on, people! The guy is a smooth talker, carries himself well, and he’s black. That is all any of us knew about him, absolutely nothing else, and we stood ready to elect him to the highest office in the land.

On another hand, we have a female candidate, wife of a former President, who herself is tainted by several legal scandals, degrades those who guard her by calling them all kinds of derogatory names, bullies her friends, buries her enemies, and who openly was a member of and supported an anti-American political group during college. Now, she gets caught in a lie, calls her chief opponent on his choice of churches, and we are finally ready to dump her?

Is it not ironic that half of the nation’s registered voters are still ready to elect one of those two to the Presidency?

On the third hand, we have a candidate who was the closest of friends with Charles Keating of the famous “Keating Five,” who was the chief investigative Senator into the doings of Jack Abramoff, the now-imprisoned lobbyist who raped tribal treasuries and paid off members of Congress for illegal favors. The Senator, in leading his committee to indict Abramoff, managed to escape his own receipt of contributions by giving it back and he refused to investigate other members of Congress who were accused of being on the Abramoff take. But, since he spent a few years in a Viet Nam prison sucking on rice, the other half of the nation’s registered voters are ready to put him on Pennsylvania Avenue.

What I don’t get, in all of this, is the audacity of the American electorate when they denied the opportunity to be President to one guy because he spends $400 on haircuts, another one because he’s “too Christian” and another because he’s a Mormon.

Obviously, we Americans do have our priorities in life straight, don’t we?

I vote we quit the pretenses and get rid of our ethical and moral mores so we can sleep well at night. Frankly, I’m tired of tossing and turning over it.

I must end now. I see my neighbor has gone off to work and here’s my opportunity to go over there and screw his wife.
