Inexplicably, the Bush Administration has thrown its
considerable weight in opposition to the campaign of John Sidney McCain III.
Our beloved and esteemed Senior Senator from Arizona has sounded the alert:
William Ayers is a terrorist. As if that were not enough, Sister Sarah
herself has identified Mr. Ayers as a terrorist!
But, President George W. Bush refuses
to imprison Bill Ayers!
The Bush Administration has adamantly refused to
arrest or imprison this dangerous professor of education from Illinois, and
he remains a free man. Why isn't this educator in shackles in Guantanamo Bay
receiving daily water-boardings? Now, my friends, I know, it's true,
this fellow
Bill Ayers has never actually been convicted of anything, but since when
do we expect the Bush Administration to worry about minor legalities?
John McCain started with a feint at the last
presidential debate when he said that Bill Ayers is an "old, washed up
terrorist" about whom he does not care. He then followed up with
a wave of robocalls to voters in at least 17 states which advise that
Barack Obama has "worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers,"
which, on the face of it, suggests that Sidney really does care about Bill
Ayers.
Barack Obama simply ignores the subject and wastes
time talking about the economy. The economy! Who wants to hear
about that boring stuff when there are terrorists to be captured?
Sister Sarah at least keeps up the
discussion, reminding attendees at her rallies of the horrific danger of
Bill Ayers while protecting herself from the media: both the Secret Service
and her own staff,
it has been reported, keep the press far away from her.
But George Bush makes himself completely
irrelevant, occasionally giving brief morning speeches about the economy
that normally cause stocks to fall by day's end.
If Bill Ayers is a domestic terrorist, then
why isn't he in chains?
This suggests other questions, as well.
If John McCain does in fact "know
how to win wars," as he has often repeated on the campaign trail, then
why hasn't he offered up a clue to Bush that he could use in Iraq and
Afghanistan?
If, in fact,
John McCain knows how to capture Osama bin Laden, as he has also
claimed, then why hasn't he helped?
If, in fact, John McCain "knows
how to fix this economy," if, in fact, he knows as much about the
economy as he claims, then why didn't he see the current situation coming,
and why are his only suggestions right-wing retreads of the bad practices
that led to our current problems?
Perhaps
George W. Bush is on to something here, ignoring John McCain as he has.
After all, if John McCain could win the Iraq war and capture Osama bin Laden
― but he ignores the President and refuses to help him, well, then, isn't
turnabout fair play? Shouldn't W. ignore him in turn? And if
John McCain really does understand the economy and still did not bother to
warn W., well then, don't you think that George must be angry with him?
After all, W. had already slipped serenely into cruise control, mentally,
ready to get the Hell out of D.C. and retire to Crawford, and if Sidney had
given him a heads up, then he could have avoided this mess!
Come
to think of it, if William Ayers really is a domestic terrorist, and George
W. Bush has done nothing to bring him to justice, shouldn't we demand that
Bush be impeached for his obvious terrorist leanings? And doesn't that
bring into question the patriotism of other members of the Bush
Administration as well? And why hasn't John McCain done something
about this domestic terrorist? I haven't heard Sidney stand up and
demand the immediate arrest of Bill Ayers! We may need to depend on
Sister Sarah, Sidney's VP choice. Perhaps she can provide the moral
leadership we so sorely need. Of late, Sister Sarah has
expounded roundly on political morality and the patriotism, or lack thereof,
of certain (Democratic) individuals.
She has gone so far as to describe which parts of our country are
pro-American and which are not.
The outcome of this foolish play can be
clearly envisioned:
| • |
George Bush is impeached. |
| • |
The rest of the Bush
Administration is thrown into jail. |
| • |
John McCain is imprisoned
for life for his refusal to capture Osama bin Laden, his failure to
enforce a citizen's arrest of Barack Obama for his association with
Bill Ayers, and, most telling, his
close and on-going relationship with G. Gordon Liddy. |
And Bill Ayers is walking down Michigan Avenue one fine
Chicago day when he feels a cold blast of wind and hears a loud noise from
above. He looks up to see a helicopter, Sister Sarah hanging out,
aiming a high-powered rifle . . . .
And Obama/Biden? The election?
Listen to frightened men huddled in dark recesses of cable
news at night as they whisper suggestively. They shyly proffer their
flimsy fears, colored by smirking insinuation, as substance. By
slavish attention to their mediocrities of the moment, they reveal base
urges that polite society is too timid to pronounce. Who in America
needs democracy when such melodrama is available?
