On Bush, and Helms

"His America, like that of his sponsors, is a population to be manipulated for the power to be had, for the money to be made. He is the subject of jokes and he jokes himself about his clumsiness with words, but his mispronunciations and malapropisms suggest a mind of half-learned language that is eerily compatible with his indifference to truth, his disdain for knowledge as a foundation of a democratic society." E.L. Doctorow has the criminal's number.

I had thought Jesse Helms was long burning in hell, but it turns out the racist homophobic pig lived until the 4th of July. Well, he's being rended of his polluted fat in the fires now, isn't he? What a shit stain on the American flag, for half a century the pure cracker in service of his Bourbons (not the drink, the ruling white elite of the neo-Confederacy).
