What's wrong with this picture? Last week, a weather system extending over 1,000 miles, spawned blizzards at its northernmost point and deadly tornadoes at its southernmost. It was truly a mind-bending event. I turned on cable and there was Chris Matthews chatting with John McCain. 20 people dead from the still-churning twisters alone and I'm watching McCain gas-bag like it matters?
Yes, folks, with the presidential elections only a scant twenty friggin' months away, the Beltway Bozos have arrived full-tilt! As the war in Iraq rages, Wall Street breaks into The Saint Vitus dance and Mother Nature goes berserk, we are asked to ponder, uh, not much.
Is Obama black enough? Is Hillary too hated? Is Kucinich too short? Is McCain too old? Is Romney a big enough asshole? Another twenty months of this stuff and Americans will be ready to vote for a sack of rocks for President. (Hmmmm. You know? That might not be too bad of an idea.)
Like it or not, we're going to be inundated with pundits spouting theories about non-theories and politicians spewing rhetoric about nothing like they're getting paid by the word.
So, here's what I suggest to make this more audience friendly. Let all the cable networks pool their resources and have this crap on twenty-four/seven (they can take turns). To make it interesting, however, they have to stage everything on a deserted island that's been transformed into a massive circus/carnival! We don't need no stinking three rings! We'll just keep adding rings ad infinitum. Oh, yeah, and all the participants will have to wear funny outfits.
Imagine the hilarity! The Congressional Cage Match will feature Democrats dressed as widdle kids shaking their heads while making "tsk-tsk" sounds and "shame-shame" gestures. Republicans, dressed as Howler monkeys, will crap in their hands and fling it!
