Rahm Emmanuel? Tom Daschle? Eric Holder? Hillary, f’crissakes? Just in case you’re still wondering – no, you’re certainly not the only one marveling in awe at the number and quickness of the old Clinton mobsters and washed-up old liberal interventionists crawling out from under their rocks to score cushy gigs with the incoming Change Administration.
No goddamn’ wonder President-Elect Change practically broke his neck falling over his wingtips trying to disavow himself from the Donkeycratic Leadership Council when they were giving him big ups way back at the dawn of the last Presidential “Election” campaign – c’mon, you remember the beginning of the last campaign, a little over two years ago…yesssss… two…years …two looo-ooonngg yeee-eeeaars…but, anyway…have any you Hope’n’Change voters out there begun to sober up and realize that you voted against a third term of Bush, only to get a third term of Clinton, except without Bubba himself? Or, perhaps, even worse…? Yes, now, at last, the truth can be told…
So, I wake up early one morning recently; as usual, my wife’s already awake and has MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” babbling on the TV. In the thinning fog of my fading Rapid Eye Movement state I hear Barack Obama telling us how he plans to continue upholding the corporate/military agenda, after which I can just make out some unhinged rightist nutcake denouncing John McCain for being too Liberal. A gaggle of pundits ranging from tepid centrist to shrieking fascist have a bitching, shouting argument over who’ll do the best job of bombing and torturing for the next four years. One pundit calls McCain a closet Liberal, another calls Obama a Socialist, and I think: jeezus, it’s too goddamn’ early for this shit. It’s only 7am, and my brain is already hurting.
