Sorry to do this to you, my gentle hearted reader, but I must speak out now. Everyone read Maureen Dowd’s editorial in the NYT today. Its a funny satire of what is going on with the 9/11 panel and the White House’s willingness to discuss the truth. I realize that the office of the president is something almost sacred in this country. I remember discussing this with my father once during the Bill Clinton years. He was no fan of Clinton and though not very conservative, he considers himself a Republican. But he thought attacking the president was wrong. Clinton may have been an cheater, but for my father, it was not the man, but the office he wanted to see protected. And I have thought about that a lot this week. I understand what he means. But I totally disagree. I think the president should be accountable for his actions. How dare Bush hide behind executive privilege. And Cheney too (does anyone else think he is just evil?) That man is accountable to me and everyone else. He should not forget that he works for us. He is too busy worrying about getting re-elected to tell us the truth. Just come clean for fucks sake. Maybe I would actually respect you a little then. Right now, I just think you are a horrible man. You put your own interests ahead of our country’s. And you expect me to pick up the bill. Giving breaks to all the rich, while the poor keep on getting poorer. Making our environmental policy a total joke. Creating your ‘Leave no Child’ behind policy and then cutting education funding. That’s just great. God, I can’t wait for the day when you are no longer our president. God help us if that day is longer than 9 months away. I can’t go on. He makes me so mad. I just want to kick something.
