Life In The Clown-Car Fast Lane

by David Kahane - January 5th, 2009 - National Review Online

Can you believe it? Barack Hussein Obama II hasn’t even been inaugurated yet and he’s already been interviewed by federal prosecutors in the ongoing Blago mess; he’s seen Bill Richardson immolate himself rather than stand the federal grand-jury scrutiny that would have come with his appointment as Commerce Secretary; his boy Rahm Emanuel is both en pointe, having resigned the House seat that was previously warmed by Hot Rod and Dan Rostenkowski, and, apparently, on Patrick Fitzgerald’s tapes too; and he’s facing the prospect of the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, standing like a homunculus George Wallace in the schoolhouse door, ready to deny entrance to a black man when Roland “We Are the Senator” Burris tries to take Bambi’s hardly-even-used seat tomorrow.

We are the party of Barack Obama and the Daley Machine; the party of the Clintons and their amazing alchemistic Library, which turns Saudi dross into altruistic gold; the party of Tony Rezko and Norman Hsu; the party of vaporizing fundraisers, absconding bagmen and sitting New Mexico governors (and a recent presidential “candidate”) currently under federal investigation for allegedly steering a state contract in the direction of one of his big backers, David Rubin of CDR Financial Products in Beverly Hills. Now comes word that Hillary Clinton, the secretary of state-designate, Congress and the Emoluments Clause willing, got millions of dollars for a mall in Syracuse shortly after the developer coughed up a hundred grand for the Bill Clinton “Foundation.”

Democrats are also the party of stolen elections and outrage when that election stealing process is interrupted. For discussion of a couple of recent stolen elections, including one being stolen as we speak, check out Democrats Steal Another Election from a couple of days ago.

It has been annoying during the last 8 years the way Democrats have expressed self righteousness over any Republican who could be criticized for any moral shortcoming when the worst Republicans have done did not reach the standard for Democrats. Robert Byrd, Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, remained the master of pork, waste and graft throughout the 8 years of W's presidency. You have to admire someone such a master at corruption they can continue living off pork when your party is out of power.

I am in favor of ending this corruption for both parties. I led the criticism of Dennis Hastert. However I find few in the Democrat Party who care about corruption unless it is a Republican doing it.


The supposed author of this article, David Kahane, proclaims himself a fictional character and does not really exist. He sure does write an interesting article though.
