Blood Money
Disgusting.0 comments
George W. Bush sent out word weeks ago that this would be a low-key inaugural celebration, noting the seriousness of the plight of the troops who've been shoved into death's way in Iraq.
But the lobbyists and Bush's supporters on the loony right decided to blow off that taste and discretion, and PAR-TAY! PAR-TAY DOWN, my man!

"We are going to ENJOY this!" they seem to be saying to the whole country.
While hundreds and perhaps thousands of GIs die for lack of adequate body armor, bullets, vehicles that run right and food.
While millions of Iraqi civilians have no medical supplies, electricity, clean drinking water or food for their dying, malnourished children.
While American cities and states are at the brink of bankruptcies; are taxing average Joe citizens through the nose to keep from going off a fiscal cliff while their schools are rotting.
"Screw all that," these selfish, priviliged people seem to be saying. We won, and we're gonna have a goooooood time!
Again, Republicans prove to be true Patriots.
But, just lousy human beings.
The next time you hear a Republican whine about there not being enough money to fix this problem or offer that service, remind them of this little inaugural item, then spit on their Gucci's.
