DC Sex Scandal About To Break?

Sometimes we read too many political clips and overlook some amazing things staring us in the face. Among those in Monday's edition, this little factoid, culled from Sunday's San Diego Union-Tribune blockbuster digging deeper into the Duke Cunningham's relationship with "co-conspirator No. 1," a.k.a. lobbyist Brent Wilkes.

According to the U-T, Wilkes also "ran a hospitality suite, with several bedrooms, in" DC -- "first in the Watergate Hotel and then" in a Capitol Hill hotel.

Come again? A "hospitality suite with several bedrooms"?

Talk about raising more questions, including:

-- Why does a lobbyist need a "hospitality suite with several bedrooms"?

-- Who uses those bedrooms and for what?

These lobbying scandals involving Cunningham and Wilkes and Abramoff are looking more and more like a bad movie script every day. Except with one difference from the movies: this stuff actually happened.

I am going to take a look at Judy Miller's tax returns.

Washington has become a sewer with the stink comming from both parties. The only way to save our country is to initiate PUBLIC FINANCING of All Elections.with making it a felony crime for any Politician to accept any thing of value, other then their salary from anyone.Until we do this we had better get used to the stench, as it will only become worse.

Thanks to the Republicans, we all wear the blue dress now.

Let's hope this scandal isn't as severe as the Franklin cover-up was a couple of decades ago. High-powered Washington politicians were caught in a child prostitution ring. It was all covered up very quickly and cleanly. No justice. No one held responsible. http://www.google.com/search?q="franklin+cover-up"

Wonkettes picking this bit up may decry the notion (see HTTP.Wonkette.com for nitpicking-points) of big-dollah fukkurz (no better way to spell it) such as Tom DeLay and Jack Abramoff disbursing just a mere a wee pinch of their Very Own (yah roight uh huh) Big Dirty Money to some top-end landlord or other for posh spaces with room service into which smallah-dollah wannabee fukkurz (purple Dem-crats, Senate aides on the rise, who knows yet?) can be lured to their profitable and narrowly beneficial corruption and the doom of their human souls.

The amazing bit is how long it has taken for simple common sense with respect to these clowns' characters to seep into the national consciousness through the oozing haze of MickeyDee's slowyadown burger-fat and Aspartame-laden demotivating fizzwater masquerading as fit food and drink. (And you thought POT was bad that way? HAH!)

But what are these indictment-grade bozos if not fukkurz? Jack Abramoff liked to steal Big Things: gambling-cruise lines, Native American (um, that's "Indian" to you, kemo sabe) casino money, Goodness only knows what else. Duke Cunningham liked to steal Little Things: a privelege here, a perk there, a voter's naively trusting confidence if necessary and not important, you name it.

Time, Mr. Fitzgerald, and several Federal juries will (I do pray as well as hope!) have the final say-so over these bozos. But these fukkurz have Baa-aa-aaad Nee-eee-eeds! Why can't they just Get Help like any ordinary self-aware Type-AA (for "Anal Arsehole", I expect) psychopath might reasonably be expected to do on their own?

Well, gee! High-powered, big-money, diesel-burning planetary-magnitude humanoid fukkurz /need/ safe, secure spaces with charm and combination locks on the outer doors within which to... ah, how to put this... um, well, /do/ what they /do./ It's as natural as can be.

Same can reasonably be said of clowns. From "Dick" Cheney's stand on torturing the innocent (and truth be hanged for a dog) as long as the confessions look OK in the dossiers, on to Tom DeLay's "don't just knock 'em down, wrap 'em in and old carpet, drop it off a cliff and pound the surf with 'em" approach to legislative procedure, this NeoPerp crim-crew we have been paperlessly schnockered, hoodwinked and bullyragged into allowing to hog-tie and slaughter all that is sacred about our nation if not outright incinerating the job-lot has demanded the very best of just everything for themselves and their "friends".

("We don't torture", intones Mr. George Dubinoff-ya Bush, speaking from the Big Chair in the Oval Office with his Stetson bouncing on his lap. Is that a DU projectile under that hat? Tantric Vows, anyone?

History informs us that new applicants to join the Chinese Imperial Civil Service were first socially and scholastically vetted, then physically nutted before being allowed to earn a single day's pay at His Celestial Majesty's expense.

Hey, why not here as well with all those too-easy and 'way corruptible Congressmen? Who among us would not gladly indeed give their nuts to spare some lives while serving the public /ably/ and /well?/

Any takers yet? Hello???

Um, by any healthy and purely /human/ social standard, none of that lobbyist's lot are likely capable of actually having anything like a /real/ friend, psychologically speaking. The mindset of "Lawyers in Love" is tiddlywinks compare to the mindset of /this/ crew, I daresay. Compared to the politix of the geopolitical war-is-good-business machine, highway robbery is only a wee game for slightly stupid children.

General Smedley Darlington Butler (USMC retired) knew this well - Google to gain understanding if you dare. So did Civil War (Union Army) soldier Steven Crane, long before General Butler was even a wee twinkle in his Daddy's eyes.

Gee, that must be an awfully lonely lifestyle, that destruction-and-plunder game. (First loot, THEN burn. Remember!) Well, lonely bozos in business drag all have nee-eee-eeds, right? So to the Circus Suite we go! (Ginnantonnix? Havva seegah!)

Mr. Penn of the "Penn and Teller" comic stage-magic team put it this way once while exposing the foibles, flaws and fnords of post-9/11 Patriot Act rationale: "These guys are clowns. But they all wear business suits! How can we spot 'em? Well, here's one way: A clown'll fukkya - even when you tell 'im it's gonna hurt ya'."

Which is exactly what each and every one of these filthy corporatist (B. Mussolini's preferred term circa 1939 or so) porks has had done to us all by media proxy and hard-bought Presidential executive order IMHO. Done It Big to every good-hearted, right-thinking normal and genuine human being nationwide and to many, many hundreds of thousands of others (not all of whom are white-skinned Aryan-descended males over the age of 21 or even 18 by any means) overseas.

Um, have some more some WillyPete Brand BBQ sauce on that rare thousand-dollar steak of yours, Mister NeoCon Man?

Trouble is, we just don't know who's what until we have gotten (more like forcibly made) naked. By then it's kinda' late. Big Viagra-reinforced party-prongs always have, well, baa-aaa-aad nee-eee-eeds.

So far, most of those perceptive and wisdom-informed Americans who have called such things as these out as "societal rape" and "corrosive influence" have been shooshed and made out to be crazy or antipatriotic or enema combatants or sumpin'. Oh well, that's cultural-assassination wargames for ya.

Not so much any more these days, though, as the mental/moral rot creeps outward from the overflowing slime-pit (Smells just like MONEY!" exclaims the production hog farmer as his runoff-lake out back oozes closer to his neighbor's swimming hole) and non-deniably detriments more and more innocents here and abroad.

Gee. At least /we/ get to live and write of these things from our safe little homes and offices - so far. Mister Khaled al-Masri is now suing his abductors, and rightly so.

Um, I really think Al-Qaida really does not want to steal our toilets and Christmas trees. Those devout Musselmen have /stricter/ rules/ than /we/ have about fu... well, yeah, that. At least in some culturally-defined "Honor" spots where we don't got jack. (Clowns everywhere. Whee again.)

Mad cowboy yee-hah Jee-hadists just don't care. Look how he treats all the mothers of all our war-murdered veterans.

Now if they'd only knock down that FEMA "emergency" crematorium out by Indianapolis and sell off all that inward-pointing razor wire fencing all around all those 40-odd regional "Emergency" internment camps we got built up for porkbarrel projects over the last 20 years, I might start to believe someone up DeeCee way actually means us Little People well.

Just. Might.

Lookit: Our aggregate security, our collective safety, our very mere existence as a noble nation of illuminated Justice and Mercy (middle path recommended!) in this world of sin and vice has been first obfuscated, then obliterated outright by the fraudulent justifications of our keepers, masquerading as "leaders", robotically spewing endless expertly-formulated VNR sound bytes for year upon bloodsoaked year into our Telly-Vision-addled brains from behind RePigliCon Leader Masks (patent pending) tied with rubber bands and plastic streamers over their bloated, greedy-eyed faces.

Purple "We the People (them the dumb lumpen)" Democrats only make things worse. Gee, I guess even Democrats really /are/ allowed to own lawful stock in the lawful defense plant corporations within their own assuredly lawful (although gerrymandered to a fare-thee-well these days) districts. Even when the war itself is illegal as that portion of All Hell wherein that Master Fukkur of All Master Fukkurs, Mistuh Sirrah Billy-Be-Damned, legendarily resides by genuine American folk legend and tradition.

Lookit: The Brigham Young University physics department released a building-collapse study maybe two months back. Um, that scientist's impeccably clean work shows plenty of graphic as well as "theoretical" evidence for premeditated "pulling" (controlled demolition) of all three WTC buildings post-collision - including the one that no plane ever touched. But the service workers who were on duty that day in the basement when the thermite was set off have been telling of that for four years now and who in DeeCee's cared to listen yet?

Um, the prime beneficiaries are in all instances well-connected criminopolitical thugs. The sort who first forbid truth - and then make sure it stays forbidden.

Get it yet, Gentle and Innocent Reader? Google "General Butler" + "war is a" out of your slumbering browser's pixmap and become wise beyond your wildest dreams!

Italian-style Polypartisan Democracy with Greek Procedural Roots and No State Romanism Allowed under our Restored and Still-Holy Constitution... Now /that's/ living.

Um, does anybody else know how to /live?/ (I'll do it meself right up until I die if I'm the only one left...)

For the love of Goodness if not for God: Pray for peace. Do it now. And make it real or forget it. Oh forget it. Just /pray./

Only just don't bend down and /beg/ your Creator like they might have mistaught you in church, if yours is (or better, /was)/ the common begging-of-Heaven sort of church. /Petition/ orderly, dignified and plain-spoken instead. Just sit quiet, get quiet and talk plain.

Mouth or mind, makes no particular difference. The majik is in the deed itself, you see. Creator just ain't much on DeeCee-grade sophistries, y'see. Too time-sinkish and all that silly babble fools only /one/ party at most.

Conversion at point of sword likewise, so remember how free you /really/ are. Like torture itself, such a forced thing as that goes plonk over the side just like the "sophisticatious" doublethink approaches to the Ship of State's mission in the world that we have seen cultivated on the talk-show blitzes and excused as casual slips (when caught) and given some sort of wee harmless justification (when further queried). Evil is what it is. Go figure.

Lord, what fools these mortals be! How armed past their saliva-drooling sharp 'n' pointy fangs on top of that ai yi oi veh!

CANNIBAL ALERT, WILL ROBINSON! DANGER!
