Yesterday, Shakes posted about her profound sense of weariness at writing about the corruption of the current administration.
Blah blah blah. I literally cannot bring myself to heave out one more post elucidating how profoundly corrupt and deserving of permanent exile from government is every last bloody member of the Bush administration
Yeah.
It's impossible to wrap your mind around how foul and corrupt these people are. Which is why we elected a bunch of Democrats into Congress to do that for us. All these discoveries, all these investigations, they're all about examining the bricks that built a single corrupt house. Mismanaging Katrina, fomenting a corrupt war under false pretenses, disenfranchising voters, politicizing the Justice Department, covering up sexual misconduct by Republicans, outing CIA agents, it's all of a piece. It's all a group of only-money-and-power-matter thugs who have taken the government of our country hostage.
Investigation is how we bring them down, but it's also exhausting. Again, bricks of a corrupt house. Easy to be furious and focused when you look at the house. Impossible not to be drained of frickin life force when you look at each brick. One. By. One.
But it's also hopeful, because it's the way we're going to kick the pricks out.
(Cross-post fatigue. Blah blah fuckin blah.)
