Truth, Justice, and Moral Fabric Softener

I was going to participate in �National Mock The Cheney�s� day today, as proclaimed by Neil Pollack, and had even worked up some mildly amusing slander for the occasion, but I got to thinking:

While Dick Cheney is certainly a reprehensible skidmark in the grubby undershorts of the Bush administration, why single out one shitstain when the entire garment is full of holes and failed elastic? The bleach of satire alone is not enough to wash away the sordid filth deposited by a lifetime of poor (ethical) hygiene. It will also require the detergent of moral indignation, the agitation of public outcry, and, ultimately, the spin cycle of the American electoral system. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al may be soaking in the blood of the Iraqi and American dead, my friends, but rest assured that they will eventually be rinsed from office and diligently tumbled by the ruthless dryer of justice, after which they will surely be consigned to the ragbin of history.

(Note to self: pick up laundry soap on the way home tonight.)
