“But they see the war getting out of hand. They’ve see our chances of victory go from little to nothing. And they’ve got to blame someone. Anyone. And of course, it can’t be Saint George, because he’s perfect and can do no wrong. So blame Kennedy. Blame Boxer. Blame France. Blame Canada. Blame anti-war bloggers. Because it is they who have botched up the Iraqi campaign to the point of no hope. If it wasn’t for them, our troops would still be basking in a flood of rose petals. .”
Happy election day, everybody.
PS: No doubt this is another insomnia hallucination, but I think I suddenly know how we as a country can move forward. We need a scapegoat. We need someone to step forward, accept responsibility for the Iraq war, and apologize.
As Kos says, it’s not going to be Bush or any of his buddies, and it doesn’t really need to be anyone who was actually involved in it at all. So I nominate Kenny Loggins.*
*Nothing personal Kenny, actually I quite liked a lot of your songs, through about the Vox Humana album. But think of this as a long-overdue way of formally atoning for “Danger Zone.” Step forward and take your medicine.
