In Which I Collaborate in the Culture of Death

by AltHippo @ 10:33 am. Filed under Life in D.C., hacks

From looking at the various blogs I see the most cited reason for Clinton supporters to back Obama in the GE is potential McBush Supreme Court nominees. And, despite Sidney Blumenthal’s argument that people don’t look at McCain and see Bush, as far as Supreme Court nominees go, he’s beholden to the same coalitions that Bush is. You can predictably expect another Scalia, Alito, or god forbid, another Thomas.

My personal bete noire is everything else. Those right-wing freak show-vaudevillians that tap dance their way through the Bush administration. For instance, I was just reading about Dr. Susan Orr who recently resigned as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Population Affairs: (Think Progress)

It could just be that my elitist latte-sipping lifestyle here in the heart of The Village has lead me to the mistaken impression that birth control is part of most people’s life. How distopian do you have to be to associate birth control with a culture of death? How bleak is your general impression of your fellow human beings? I mean, the glass isn’t half empty for Dr. Orr. It’s half zombie.

    It’s so true. People need to realize that when you elect a President, you get his/her court choices and all of his/her idiot associates, too.
