Heckuva job, Scotty

White House spokesman resigning
Rove to lose policy portfolio

Tip of the hat to ebongreen for pointing me here this morning. I only hope and pray that this is something of an indicator that Rove is in actual legal hot water. As for McClellen, those words were written on the wall weeks ago. Hell, every lefty blogger on the net was counting down to his resignation/firing. Can't wait to see who gets thrown to the lions next.

But I have to say that as much as this pleases me the fact that the only thing people can seem to talk or write about today is that Tom Cruise and his child brainwash victim have spawned. You know I can honestly say here that I don't give a flying fuck whether Scientology preaches that births must be silent or that she has to give birth on a trampoline, what the fuck does any of that matter? Jesus Christ, people, is this really all you fucking care about? If anybody talks about it in the office today I'm going to snap, I can just feel it.

In the midst of my utter madness this morning I glanced at an e-mail informing me of McClellan's leaving. I took a moment to gleefully praise God for this development. Briefly I tried imagining him trying to function in The Real World, where people are held accountable; then I remembered the chances of him ever entering The Real World were as low as mine of entering his. Scott McClellan reminds me of Mohammed Saheed al-Sahaf, himself a brilliant parody of an actual press secretary/information minister. Ole Scotty might've learned his craft at al-Sahaf's knee. (I had a similar thought about Condi Rice when she was tapped for Secretary of State.)

But I digress. While the vast majority of our fellow mindless sheep Americans are endlessly obsessed over that girl who was disappeared in Aruba and whether Tom Cruise actually planned to eat his concubine's placenta when she produced the fruit of his looms, a freakin' takeover of a country that just happens to have lots of oil war is going on in our names, with our money and at the command of a cabal of madmen. And that's what pisses me off.
