Well, seems like on the Easter weekend, the self-annoined Jesus Christ has been finally crucified at the polls. Silvio's alleged voter irregularites have seemingly amounted to a fiction, and his attempts to seek a coalition government have resulted in him being told that he simply needs to "go home." Now the Coalition of the Crumbling has really just one significant remnant in "Old Europe," Tony Blair, who still is in seeming denial that the horses on which he has staked his political future are now also rans. Of course, the world would be even more bright if Blair ever lived up to his word to cede power to Gordon Brown, which he had pledged to do, but has since reneged on.
Just the lastest signs of lost policies in Europe pointing the unexpectedly sudden global derailment of the American Empire Express.
But it couldn't have happened to a smarter or nicer guy.

Merry Fitzmas--an early Winter Holiday present for you and yours:
While politicians on the Left are busy working with the Left-leaning media to sell the idea of what they have branded the Right’s “culture of corruption,” Robert Stacy McCain and Lynn Vincent, in their new book Donkey Cons: Sex, Crime, and Corruption in the Democratic Party, expose the real culture of corruption that has been woven into the fabric of the Democrat Party since it’s inception. This includes everything from the party’s founding father Aaron Burr to the Left’s involvement with Jack Abramoff.
A refreshing book, low in rhetoric and high in historical fact (with over 600 footnotes), Donkey Cons chronicles crime after crime committed by the Left and how its representatives are seemingly immune to judgment, never held accountable, and actually rewarded for their crimes by moving to some of the most powerful positions in the party (eg. Teddy Kennedy, Hill and Bill Clinton).
McCain and Vincent write:
It seems almost any crime can be excused or ignored if the perpetrator is a Democrat. A married Democrat mayor can be caught smoking crack cocaine with a prostitute and, even after he is convicted and sentenced to prison, manage to return to public office. A married Democratic senator who leaves a party with a single young woman and gets into a drunk-driving accident that kills her does not merely avoid jail time, but retains his Senate seat and indeed goes on to become one of the most powerful politicians in his party. Wholesale corruption, election fraud, kickbacks, bribery, espionage, treason—if you’re a Democrat, such acts apparently are never major scandals, and certainly are never portrayed by the major media as evidence that you or your party are untrustworthy.
Demonstrating their reporter backgrounds (McCain is an assistant editor at The Washington Times, and Vincent is features editor at World Magazine) by offering balance to their story, the authors also report corrupt Republicans as well. Unfortunately for the Left, as McCain and Vincent point out, there’s just not as much to report.
Using information from the website Political Graveyard, which they describe as a “non-partisan Web site that parses local, state, and federal politicians into numerous categories (nationality, awards won, religion practiced, and so forth,” they showed that “Democratic double-dealers listed on the Political Graveyard far outnumbered GOP crooks: 88 to 49.”
Detailing the numerous scandals involving Congressmen who deal with, as they call it, “money-grubbing,” McCain and Vincent tally the damage on both sides of the aisle. They report:
The politicians listed to this point were freelance malefactors, with Democrats outnumbering Republicans 29 to 13, a similar ratio to our Political Graveyard analysis. But sometimes corruption happens in bulk. And when it does, Democrats are there… While eighteen congressional Democrats were either convicted in court or disciplined by their own chamber, only three Republicans were caught up in multimember scandals—and one of those had his conviction overturned.
Donkey Cons goes beyond that, exploring in depth how politicians on the Left jumped in bed with the mob back in the 1930s and how labor unions today, to a large degree, simply dictate their party’s platform. The authors explore the Left’s treasonous tendencies, especially when it comes to communist regimes, though this is quickly being replaced by a love for Islamo-fascist regimes.
McCain and Vincent expose how liberals aid and abet criminals and then lobby to return their right to vote (and we can guess who they’ll vote for). They uncover how the Left is really the party of the rich and the presidential affairs and then give a snapshot of how deep the Clinton White House was in a scandal much worse than the affair with Monica Lewinksy: Chinagate. Finally, closing out the book with the Left’s involvement with Jack Abramoff, which as it turns out, isn’t a “Republican scandal,” after all.
One of the best political thrillers I have ever read, it’s scary that Donkey Cons is a piece of non-fiction. This book takes liberals to task for their con-artist ways, while holding conservatives responsible for their indiscretions, as well. Although, as Donkey Cons argues, there is a fundamental difference between the two parties: when a Democrat is involved in a scandal, he becomes a national figure for the party, but when a Republican is involved in a scandal it always ends with him resigning in disgrace.
I highly recommend this book to liberals who want to familiarize themselves better with the party they are associating themselves with, and I also recommend it to conservatives who need to be reminded why they call themselves conservative. This book is especially helpful for young readers not familiar with the historical facts of how far back immorality and corruption really does go on the Left: since the party’s beginning.
If you haven't found corruption? . . .
You don't know Jack
Well, grunt, you definitely won't find me defending the Democrats. They have enabled the degradation of the Constitution, the looting of the treasury, and the misuse of American military power by the thoroughly corrupt Rethuglicans without raising a peep. It's hard the pick who's more disgusting: the criminals or the criminal enablers.
You have raised it, and I am quite in agreement.
