American Sleaze Dips to a New Low

The American political system is collapsing under the weight of its own internal corruption.   For example, the scapegoating scam has reached a new low in its level of  sleaze.   Do you recall the trouble Vice President office holder, Sick, Dick Cheney got into over _____ .      As you will recall,   ___ scooter Libby took the fall for that fiasco.  And as in all good scapegoating scams, Libby was painted black and sentenced to prison with the typical message:  "Now that we have found and punished the evil doer, all is good and well again."   

And as usual the public either bought the lie or said to themselves, "I know this is a flim-flam scam, but there's nothing I can do about it."   Then the crooks went back to business as usual, while this time, being a little more careful to cover their tracks and burry their droppings.   When the heat had died down and the public was distracted elsewhere, our beloved, born-again boy, "Resident" Bush,  pardoned Libby based on the excuse that he had suffered enough.  

Now mind you, this is in keeping with fundamental Christian practice of forgiving their own transgression (while forgetting to forgive those with whom they disagree).   You might note that their fickled, angry, violent, vindictive leader, non other than God, Himself is still holding  the longest grudge in all of creation. '  He, God, has yet to forgive Eve for eating the fruit from a forbidden tree which he just happened to plunk down right in front of her nose.   

But Libby, well, he's suffered enough.    You just might want to watch Libby and see how many sweet deals he just happens to fall into and/or how much his or his family's net worth increased over the next few years.   Either that, or he'll have a fatal accident or a fatal disease and die an early death.
