politics as usual II (corruption at the highest levels)

either our president is another incompetent ceo, or a bald-faced liar!

but

at least we don't live (and die) in zimbabwe.

i could have told you this, but the republicans won't do anything about it. oh, sure, dennis hastert is talking big, but when was the last time a republican gave a fuck about you? oh, right, when he wanted to take your money. any republican who says he cares more about the american people getting a good deal than oil companies making record profits is a phony and a hypocrite. to start, he should give back all the money those oil companies gave him. then he'd be financially independent, and wouldn't take their money into account when making such decisions. he could then push them to give some of those profits back to consumers without looking like a liar. not that he cares.

at least the supreme court still seems to believe in justice. roberts will sit this one out, too. good for him. hopefully, the court will take the right stance on the separation of powers should this case get there. the right stance being to enforce the separation of powers and to put a check on conflicts of interest. not that the republicans know anything about that....
