Democracy Trumped

It's been a long and horrifying week and I barely have the will to complain anymore. Man, that Trump guy... what a f*cking c*cksucker. Example quote:

"I think it's a very bad thing for Cantor to have done because I'll tell you, people love this issue especially in the Republican Party."

Trump objected to Eric Cantor voicing reason on birtherism because an outbreak of common sense amongst 'Merica's grunting classes could dent Trump's chances of being president. Trump's message is clear: even if the whole "debate" over Obama's citizenship is a shameful crock of sh*t, he intends to keep the pathetic urban legend on the table because he sees it as an 'in'. We have been warned.

So if the new rethug frontrunner doesn't lose interest in his presidential vanity project, if he actually does take up the cudgels against Obama next year, the 2012 campaign promises to make the fondue of stupidity that currently passes for political discourse in this country look wholesome by comparison.

Jeez, haven't we suffered enough through eight years of neocon fascism under Bush? Hasn't the economic meltdown, the rise of the 'baggers and the rethug holocaust on the middle classes been enough? We have to endure this goon now? God help us.
