You know, way back in the days of a newsgroup called alt.showbiz.gossip, I used to get in regular fights with this guy. He gives quality rant, but had a tendency to get on the wrong side of a fight and keep fighting hard when he was clearly beaten.
He’s come a ways since then; his rants are better, and in this case, he fuckin’ nails it hard.
Read Steve Gilliard’s rant – We Told You So
Choice quotes:
(use of the N word is Steve’s, not mine)
You say this isn’t about politics? Fuck you, this IS politics, real time, real life politics, where the insanity of all your ideas are exposed to the world for the fraud that they are. Tax cuts kill. Ask the relatives of the dead of the Gulf Coast. Well, motherfuckers, the alligators are feasting on dead nigger and there isn’t an Iraqi in sight. And Bush is trying to gladhand his way through a mess which has stunned FOX reporters. I mean, Shepard Smith is calling Fox’s talking heads liars ON THE AIR. CNN rips Bush in print and online after nearly five years of sleep.
And:
Bush, the man your fever dreams built into the next Winston Churchill when he is really the live action Chauncey Gardiner, has failed to everyone, in plain sight, without question. Rick Perry is trying to save his ass, but it ain’t working. NOLA looks like ANGOLA and that ain’t flying. Say 9/11 changed everything now, motherfuckers. Ooops, 9/11, 9/11. 9/11. Doesn’t work anymore? Gee, maybe the sea of alligator MRE’s once known as the citizens of New Orleans has something to do with that. Now you can shut the fuck up about 9/11. Bush just proved what would happen with another 9/11. Dead Americans as far as the nose can smell.
And my favorite:
The most dangerous thing to average Americans is not some mullah in Iraq, not even Osama Bin Laden, but George Bush. If he doesn’t get you killed in Iraq, he’ll fuck up saving your city so it turns into Escape from New Orleans. Armed junkies roaming the streets, looking for a fix, robbing and looting like Serb paramilitaries and about as sober. George Bush’s ineptitude has killed far more Americans than Osama could have dreamed of.
Keep it on, Steve. Truth.
I need Dennis Miller’s email address. He needs to read this. He’s trotted out that “the WTC fell on my house” shtick as a cover for him turning into a sycophantic Bushite pussy whore for too goddamn long.
Well that’s MY city dying now, motherfucker, in numbers that make 9/11 look like a kids party. Stick THAT rant up your has-been ass now, you piece of shit. Miller supported this guy, sol now Miller gets to OWN a little share of the stench of dead bodies rising out of the Ninth Ward now. And it will never ever ever fucking wash off. Bitch.
‘Bush is the source of all that is wrong in the Universe’
The fact that New Orleans and the State had a specific plan in place to deal with a levy break resulting from a hurricane, had it for many months, and chose not to implement that plan, or do anything at all but shit their pants, is irrelevant.
Is that what you’re saying? If Bush had federalized the area on day 1 folks like you would have been calling him a fanatical tyrant trampling on the constitution.
Let’s all agree that no matter what Bush, or any republic for that matter, does some people – wink wink – will chastise and hate him for it. So, instead of waisting your genious attempting to explain what’s wrong with Bush’s latest, you only need to repeat 12 words: ‘Bush is the source of all that is wrong in the universe’ and your audience will know exactly what you mean.
I’m donning my umbrella now – bring it on 😉
Eric, I love you like a brother, man (hell, more than I loved my actual brother), but didn’t we agree to never, ever, ever talk about politics? B^)
