blog job

Clinton got a blow job,
all we heard for two years ,
ken starr told the lurrid tale on cnn.
day , after day.
ken starr , who sold his soul
to the highest bidder.
"We'll get him on something" , they said.
Whitewater investigations turned into monicagate.
"We've got him now, they shrieked,
as the christian rightists turned up thier forever investigation
to the "unpure as mud " president,
day after day on fox news
Clinton got a blow job.
"fair and unbalanced", they said , as the balence weighed highly on just how "right" they were.
Then they picked thier golden boy, King george, the second,
fair gov of texass,
had a folksey sound ,
like he cared about average , poor folk.
two term gov of texass, killed a lot of folks on "law and order" decrees , in the gas chamber,
wheather they deserved it or not , mostly non whites,
"let god sort it out " , were georges' thoughts on the matter.
So they ran him for pres, against the vp of Clinton,
Al gore , policy wonkist of uncomfortable pauses, too smart for us reg'lar folks,
georgie was thier man.
neck and neck, all the way.
gore thought he had won.
but wait, what's this, the shrub was ahead,
or so it seemed ,
back and forth for two weeks,
folks counting punches on ballots ,
invented in the seventies to simplify counting,
no one thought they could be cheated.
The closest election in many a year ,
maybe second closest in history,
if all was told fairly.
judges said, we've got us a winner, judges hand picked by george the first.
Georgie the second was crowned,
the silence was sickening.
And he said, "I'm here to stop the bickering , be a uniter , not a divider".
And we all were shocked, except , of course, the "religious" among them.
And it started. The first year was tough , his numbers were low , mistake after mistake, miscue after miscue.
It's not easy being george , the wordsmith he's not,
bungling time after time ,
no coherent message, thought he'd be a one termer , like dad,
george the first.
poll numbers falling , economy in free fall .
But wait what's this?
September the 11th?
nice clear day ?
9/11?
"a day that will live in infamy", they told us,
just to go back in our minds, ww11 images , the glorious bombing,
and of much greater men
FDR .
9/11 - hmm. 9/11
"911 emergency, please respond" 911 EMERGENCY!
WHAT THE FUCK???
a plane blew into our consciousness.
into a big ass building
in NY fucking C.
HOLY SHIT!
"This can't be real"
"is this a fucking jerry bruckheimer movie, where everything blows up and the bad guys die in the end? "
But , no
stuff blew up , blew up good.
and lots of folks died.
And we still don't know why, for sure.
Osama bin laden of saudi dissent, by way of afganistan, they said.
"he did it , he's the guy you want"
the pictures of all his ring leaders in the daily news,
like wanted posters in the post office ,
the story, all cut and dried in a matter of days.
and some of us bought it.
the images repeated , day after day ,
like an abused child , we responded , in bewilderment,
numb,
scared,
frightened.
We didn't know how to feel .
we'd never seen anything like it .
But , just to remind us of how scared we felt
we saw it over and over , transfixed to the tv,
like lab rats on speed ,
feeling like shit , but not getting enough, never getting enough.
They had an answer ,
go into Afghanistan, have a war on osama,
"smoke him out" , george said , his confidence high.
so we bombed on the afghans , thier mountains rained with shells,
as they had before from the russians,
in another war,
when talibans were friendly.
well, before talibans , it was called "musha ha deen" , or something like that.
They were our friends , were fighting the russians,
our sworn enemy.
so we armed them , armed them good , so russians would know our might.
And then we left . we'd had enough of afghanistan.
so , then , out of the blue sky comes 9/11 , to save george from embarrassment
of a one term president.
And he started sounding , well some said, "presidential", although I never bought it.
"presidential" , that would imply that he had a brain, his own original thoughts, a way of responding to things that didn't make him sound like a ten year old.
He never had that , in my mind.
He always sounded like the very dysfunctional , brain impaired , disorganized thinking , ex coke snorting , hard drinking frat boy that he is.
I mean a psychologist could go to town on this guy.
But , back to the story.
war in afghanistan went on for awhile,
we got the taliban in a number of weeks, so they said .
Afganis we're free, they said , burkas were lifted from faces of women ,
who no longer had to look like beekeepers,
we could see thier eyes!
"we care about womans' rights" , said george , feeling prideful from a job well done.
BUT WHERE WAS OSAMA?
Did anyone check? was he in the mountains of the rough afghani ranges?
did we just forget about osama , PUBLIC ENEMY #1
Stay tuned dear reader......
