Another Cog Falls out of the Machine

Congressman Randy Cunningham (R) tearfully resigned yesterday after being caught with his hands in a two million dollar cookie jar.

The thing that really bothers me about this is the way the guy denied that he’d done anything wrong back in July. “Noooo. Blah blah blah, this is a witch hunt, blah blah blah. I’m innocent of all charges, justice will reign, blah blah blah. War in Iraq!” I watched him last night on the news as he cried about, I dunno, trust and family or something but I just wasn’t biting. I think he’s only sorry that he got caught. Too bad he’ll have a couple million bucks to console himself in ten years when he gets out of prison.

The one line that really glared at me from the article says, “Prosecutors did not identify the defense contractors.” This shows that the problems with our government lie not just with officials. Halliburton? Nope, never heard of ‘em. Secret deals with defense contractors are nothing new but the outright raping and pillaging that is going on in Washington makes me gag. These people aren’t even trying to hide their shenanigans. Well, Cunningham tried…

The GOP is crumbling like a cookie made without butter. These arrogant warmongers are on the way out but they’ll be leaving a dessicated husk of a country behind. They have sucked this country dry and will be tossing it out of the car window on the way home. The true mind boggler here is that they’ll be back at some point because there are a lot of ignorant, uninformed people in this country that will vote for them again.

How many times will you look at the guy humping a corpse before taking action?
