A man who, along with his entire family, belongs in a maximum security prison (or standing trial before an international tribunal) is playing president. Congress plays along. And the corporate media fuels the big lie, 24 hours a day. Two months have passed since the most brazen seizure and rape of American democracy in modern history. Yet, not one prominent voice has spoken the truth of Bush's absolute illegitimacy. There has been no call for investigations into the treason, massive national election fraud and national civil rights plundering that put him in power. There has been no demand for the ouster of a corrupt Supreme Court that stole the White House for him. There has been no scrutiny of W's criminal financial deals, his AWOL, his drunk driving violations and cover ups, nor the Bush family's long and spectacular, multi-generational criminal resume. The completeness of the occupation has been stunning, even to the most jaded cynics, including those of us who predicted the nightmare scenario we now live. The idiot son of the former president and CIA director garbled and stumbled through his scripted lines, knowing full well he had no right to be standing there, in light of Al Gore's victory (which, contrary to lying mainstream media distortions about a "Bush Florida recount vindication/victory," has Gore winning by some 3,000 or more votes). He proceeded to boast and shove a corporate/military/right wing policy agenda down America's collective throat, knowing full well that the majority of Americans do not want any of it. Not Rumsfeld's missile defense boondoggle for Lockheed Martin and TRW. Not the plundering of the earth and environment for the Texas power companies. Not the economically disastrous tax breaks for the wealthiest of the wealthy and the ratcheting up of the national debt. Not the Christian right moral agenda. Not the Christian right control of school agendas and social services. Not the testing-focused education "reform" that makes children stupid. Not the fanatical right wing Cabinet poised to destroy women's rights and civil rights. Not any of it. Bush slurred lines decrying "big government," knowing full well that a majority of Americans will suffer from cuts in services and government protections, while a chosen minority (the corporate, the right, the military, the intelligence community and the criminal) will benefit like never before from a "big, domineering right-wing" Republican government that will create more bogus energy crises, start new wars and foreign coups, and manipulate the global financial machine for their pleasure. Bush knows he is a depraved fascist crook, surrounded by an international collective of fascist crooks. He likes it. Who is going to stop them? Democrats Tom Daschle and Dick Gephardt demurely and politely debated the nuts and bolts of the Bush policies. Other Democrats applauded Bush's "style and delivery." The Democractic whimpering added legitimacy to a sham that never should have gone beyond November 7, 2000, and further eroded any confidence that the so-called party of the left is anything more than a doormat. The tracks of Texas cow pie can be seen on the backs of sellouts, like Ellen Tauscher (D-CA) who lauded Bush for "appearing presidential and in command." The correct rebuttal to every Bush speech for the next four years should be the same: "George W. Bush is not the legitimate President of The United States, and never will be. Thank you."
