#44 Now I Know Why McCain Will Be The Republican Nominee

Please note the following language clarifications: (1) "dubyan" is the adjectival form of "dubya," and (2) "offal" (in this post both a singular and duplicitous noun) is the shortened form of "officials" of dubya's administration. Just wanted to clarify those points so that these words, at least, won't add to the confusion created by former dubyan offal.

----- ----- -----

The recent congressional hearings on waterboarding and other interrogation techniques at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib have shed new light on...not the interrogation techniques permitted by the current dubyan administration, but the inability of dubyan offal to remember what they did, what they talked about, what others did that they thought they themselves had done, or what others didn't do that they themselves thought they might not have done. Confused? I think that's their idea.

I mean, when John Ashcroft can say with a straight face (and this is probably not an exact quote, but it's scarily close) "I don't remember enough of what I did or heard or said, to be able to refuse to answer that question," then we know the motto of dubya's administration: "Obfuscation Rules!"

Ashcroft, Alberto Gonzales, and several other dubyan offal were "unable to recollect" a whole bunch of information on who ordered what torture, or even that any torture was ordered or committed.

And, so, now I know why John McCain will be the Republican nominee for President of the United States. Though I don't agree with several of his policies, I believe he's an honest man, and thus he doesn't perjure himself when he talks about what he has said or done in the past. When he says that he doesn't remember, HE DOESN'T REMEMBER! Really.

And now I can understand more fully why Barack Obama talks of a McCain presidency as "a third bush administation." While a McCain administration may be more honest, it will be no more effective than dubya's.
