The
Man Who Would Be Stooge
 After
the 2000 Presidential election was awarded
to George Bush by the Supreme Court Al Gore
must have said to himself, "Well, guess
I'll just have to go win a Nobel and an Oscar
and make a few zillion dollars saving the Earth."
And he did. And it was good.
But what about Mitt Romney? It's been just over a year since the election
and about the only time he's in the news is when he's arguing with the
neighbors in court over plans for his new mansion on a San Deigo beach,
the one with the famous elevators for his cars. Just not his hip, cool
Mustang convertible as he recently traded that in on a 15-passenger van.
Way to ride the crest of the wave, Mitt.
Yes, this is the guy Republicans wanted. A guy with no vision except
to make a fortune and be the Supreme Ruler of Everything. His life is
now so prosaic that New York Magazine has devoted a somewhat snarky blog
to his daily affairs entitled "Stuff
Mitt Romney Is Doing These Days". From it I learned that little
snippet about the Mustang, and that he advised college graduates to have
a "quiver full of kids". This from a man who just celebrated
grandchild #22.
These white people. I swear, all they do is sit around screwing and cashing
checks. Or in vitro-fertilizing... or whatever.
Oh! And he's also building ANOTHER new home in Holladay, Utah, one with
a secret room hidden behind a bookcase. When asked what he plans to use
it for he no doubt stroked a white cat that just happened to be in
his arms and replied sinisterly... "Office storage."
Dun-dun-DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.
It's clear the guy has only one ambition in life and it involves kissing
whichever fanny that results in the biggest fiduciary response for him
and his pals. And Republicans LOVE that kind of devotion to avarice.
Meanwhile, after five years all we've gotten from George "Worst
President Ever" Bush is a fragrant public airing of his inner dilletante,
obviously the same one he abused as president, by taking up the painter-like
arts. (Hey! Wasn't
Hitler a painter, too?) That, and pocketing appearance-money from messianic
lunatics.
If Mr. Obama had lost the election I've no doubt he'd already be involved
in some new civic adventure, employing his intelligence, charm, and connections
for the advantage of those who need help most. And I'd be proud of him
all over again, just like I am of Bill and Jimmy.
