A Letter to the New York Times

On Senator Vitter's Sin:

That George W. Bush, the brain-damaged Frat Boy, has always considered himself above the Law is the crucial story about his irresponsible tenure that both National Legislators and the Mainstream Media have scandalously ignored. It’s part of the same elitist justice system that puts poor blacks caught with crack in the Klink for eternities whilst slumming sloburbans snorting cocaine are wrist slapped at worst.

Can our democracy long survive such a schizophrenic legal system? Cynics shudder at the effrontery of “Signing Statements” (essentially the Executive saying to the Legislative: I comply only when I want to–a complete corruption of our constitutional separation of powers). But what does our brain-dead President know about thinking,he who told his MBA professor that John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath” was “boring”! And him from Midland TX!

Look at his record: DUI in Kennebunkport–no punishment. AWOL in Alabama from the Texas Champagne Squadron–no punishment even though we tax payers were nicked for $1,000,000 for his pilot training. Four serial bankruptcies for this intrepid, know-nothing entrepreneur. The fourth tempted him to Inside Trade,which is also called stealing from your investors, a federal offense with jail time. The SEC gently inquired why he hadn’t filed the necessary papers many months after the legal deadline. No punishment.

This swag was what he used to become a partner with the new Texas Rangers.He wangled a free stadium out of the taxpayers of Arlington,TX. And then retired to Crawford as a millionaire B(r)ush Cutter. And this guy has the gall to lecture the sheikhs on Democracy. He wouldn’t recognize It if It hit him on the head, which it hasn’t. Yet. But I’m hoping President Obama will bring both him and Cheney before the bar, before they and their minions have completely destroyed our faltering democracy.
