Truth to Power

Now the torturers want a pity party

‘There is a real sadness there’ in the White House.

The Washington Post reports today that loyal Bushies are engaging in upbeat talk to mask “disappointment and frustration among many White House staffers,” who see their boss as “a good and steadfast man who has gotten a bad rap”:

“Everybody kind of wanted to spend the last 100-plus days doing some legacy things, and the financial crisis has thrown a wrench into that,” said one prominent Republican who regularly talks with senior White House officials.

“You have a combination of no legacy stuff, a horrible economic mess and the likelihood that Obama is going to win,” this person added. “There is a real sadness there.”</em>

Oh, you did “legacy things” you loathsome POS. Torture. Treason. Fraud. Illegal wars. Genocide. Trust me, the world will never forget your legacy. Every time a hooded man is forced to stand for 15 hours with a hood on his head, you have a legacy. Each Iraqi mother who buries an innocent child, there’s your legacy. Every time a black persons right to vote is taken away by caging and voter suppression, there’s your legacy.

I hope everyone that worked in Bush White House wakes up screaming for the rest of their miserable fucking lives. Every. Damn. Day.
