George W. Bush, the Real "Sore Loser"
by Mac MacArthur

Friday, Nov. 24, 2000 -- PALM BEACH, FLORIDA (AmpolNS) -- One had only to observe the latest George W. Bush desperation move -- namely, his comments concerning his running mate Dick "Big Time" Cheney's so-called heart attack, which he used to disguise both his attack on the Florida Supreme Court and the fact that "Dumbya" realizes it is all over for both him and the ailing former defense secretary who earned $50 million after he left the Daddy Bush White House to work for Halliburton, having had absolutely no business experience.

Ask yourself: just who does this punk think he is to so criticize seven Supreme Court Justices, all of whom asked perceptive and probing questions of both sides in an attempt to right the wrongs of the Florida Legislature, a band of $12,000-a-year buffoons who wouldn't know a voting regulation from a boating regulation, a parking ticket from a chad.

The Florida Supreme Court, in its harsh admonishment focusing on the conduct of whorish Bush Secretary of State Katherine Harris, told her and the legislature to get a life and act like concerned legislators and administrators rather than Butt Boys and Coffee Girls for George "Dumbya" Bush, who gave the slimy Harris a "standing ovulation" yesterday when she pranced (like a moronic deer into the sights of a 30.06) at her scheme gone sour to deny votes to every Gore supporter in Florida she could.

Bush blowhard and former Secretary of the Treasury/State Jim "BCCI" Baker, a man who has always been owned by the highest bidder and acted like a player while actually being a most willing pawn, should be put in stocks in the square for the lies he tells daily from his perch in Tallahassee.  Here is man who now has a entire school named after him at the University of Texas who has become a disgrace, a liar for a spoiled brat from a criminal family, a man who now attacks the legal system of the United States to try and save the White House for Mr. "GWI," the drunken born-again disgrace of this nation.

Now the idiot GOP legislature is pushing the idea that they might be called into SPECIAL SESSION to make certain that the REAL winner in Florida and the nation, Al Gore, will be replaced by George "Dumbya."  They are pretending NOT to be moved by what they have seen thus far -- but believe me, I've seen this kind of weaseling before.

The GOPers in Washington know the Supreme Court of the United States will laugh the Bush boys next week when they go to the highest court in the land and look for solace there.  This means that their only choice now is to pretend that there are NO checks and balances in Florida. 

Let's look at these checks and balances. They involve three sets of characters.

In Florida, the first set is the goofus Governor, Jeb Bush, whose wife is an exposed fur and jewelry smuggler and whose son was arrested on a few weeks ago for lewd and indecent conduct with a prepette in a parking lot. The preferred Bush whore, Katharine Harris (who is the last Secretary of State Florida will see because she and her position have been eliminated), is another member of this first set along with Democrat scaredy-cat Bob "Mrs." Butterworth who is crying over the undercounting of counting of military ballots in Florida because the uniformed bozos overseas -- who some feel should be MORE equal than other citizens -- can't read and can't buy a stamp. To hear Butterworth and all the other GI weepers and hand-wringers, you'd think our boys and girls were in foxholes shooting it out with the "Nips" in Guadalcanal.  Butterworth, a Gore supporter, at least did not issue an AG position on the matter -- but asked the canvassing boards in his weepiest whining manner to count the ballots.

The second set of players is the GOP-dominated Florida legislature. Have you seen these people? The average member of the Florida State legislature seems as if he or she is either a member of organized crime or a certifiable cretin. Naturally, this group includes some Democrats who are of a of a slightly higher caliber than the GOP hoi-polloi.

The third and MOST IMPORTANT set of players is THE COURTS. Why is the Florida Supreme Court most important here? Because local and district court judges are about as well-prepared to rule on the law as Alfred E. Newman.

The Supreme Court of Florida, save the one or two members with way-too-heavy Southern accents, are bright and refreshing jurists. They asked more than 150 questions of both the Gore and Bush legal teams.

And Bush lost.  Here's why:

-- The legislature wrote a law which was self-contradictory, made no sense, and put too much power in the arms of a political whore like Katherine Harris -- who went on to abuse that responsibility in spades

-- The Governor (the little brother who couldn't, but did) loves his cushy job and therefore has most recently recused himself instead of getting back at the older and even dumber Bush Brother for torturing him all through his young life. Good rumor has it that Jeb didn't know what the word "recuse" meant and asked a key staffer for a run down!

-- No court gives a damn what the candidates want or think, nor do they care whether or not they went to bed thinking they were President and awoke to find that all the sins of their past were now coming back to haunt them as the hapless Republican candidate found himself having not won the ultimate American political prize. No court cares whether James Baker -- who looks more and more like the Frankenstein monster every day -- whines about chads all over the floors (a lie), people "divining" the intent of the voters (another lie), or how wonderful "Dumbya" is.  This last point is code for how powerful the Bush Crime Family is, or was. I mean, look -- George Bush vomited all over the Japanese prime minister while in Tokyo. Don't think he'd made a good Capo -- but Little George certainly would, wouldn't he?

Those are the three sets of players -- two that do nothing but deliver Floridians to corporate America, and one that actually thinks a little and tries to rein in the idiot-savant tendencies of the other two branches of Florida government.

You also hear James Baker making fun of William Daley -- the Gore Campaign manager -- because Daley's father was such a brilliant political operator. Last night, he even laughed at the Gore team citing a chad case from the Supreme Court of Illinois -- a VERY upscale and most respected group of jurists, simply because old Boss Daley who has been dead and powerless for two decades of more was once a boss mayor in a time when this was the norm.

One thing is clear: as the pundits and pundettes sneer at Mr. Gore for having well-trained lawyers, whom they all know damn well he would need in a severely corrupt and hateful state like Florida, I just sit and laugh. This morning I heard Katie Couric, a well-known Democrat-leaning journalist, gutting the Gore team with her latest "pal," the disgusting Chris Matthews.

I heard Brian "The Ski Bunny" Williams, who always has his makeup done like his goggles left a tan line, call Vice President Gore "fiendish" -- that's right, FIENDISH -- because he made sure his press announcement last night was timed to open the 11 PM news.

In other words, it's just fine if Republicans do it -- but if a Dem does it, forget about it -- they might as well be Sonny Corleone.

What kind of nation do we live in? What kind of society allows one lie after another to be disseminated over the publicly-owned airwaves -- and yes, from both sides, but by far more frequently from the right wing, who control those airwaves through ownership and sponsorship.

What kind of country will we have with a stupid little man like Bush in the White House? I'll tell what kind: a post- 1930- German style nation sinking into recession and then depression as corporate salad masters shake out the last of your change and grind it up in their NYSE and NASDAQ blenders. We'll build our military into a Bush private police force where goofballs with a median 67 IQ are treated as being more important that a Nobel Laureate.

That's what kind of country we will have.

So damn it, count those Gore-Buchanan ballots -- all 23,000 of them -- and throw the stupid BUM "Dumbya" out!
