Tool time with Mitch McConnell

lambert's picture

Mitch McConnell is a tool. An authoritarian:

"[McCONNELL] What I can tell you at the moment is that he enjoys the support of the president, for whom he works," he said.

Er, Mitch--if I may call you Mitch--that's not quite right. And I know this is high school civics stuff, but work with me here, OK?

We don't live in an authoritarian system where The Leader simply selects those who will do him fealty and carry out his Leaderly commands.

We live in a democracy--or so I've been told--where a President is elected by voters, swears to uphold the Constitution, and carries out his duties accordingly.

That means, Mitch--you stupid, stupid, authoritarian tool. always wrong about everything--that Gonzales does not "work for" Bush, as if the entire country were some Fucking corporation and Bush was the CEO.

Gonzales works for me, because I'm a citizen.

Teh stupid! It burns!

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
