The Blog | RJ Eskow: Shot Through the Heart And You're to Blame: Conservatism as Psychopathology | The Huffington Post: "Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld ... they're Mafia bosses doling out the largesse in return for unquestioned fealty. And today's so-called 'conservatives' respond in kind. Will Roger Ailes get more exclusive interviews if he peddles the daily GOP lies and spins? As you wish, Godfather. Will Arnold Schwarzenegger become Governor if he pumps for Bush at the convention? Thank you, Don Karl. Will 'Straight Talkin'' John McCain be rewarded with a chance to run in 2008 if he forgets what they did to his wife and kid? It' good to kiss the ring again, Mr. President. Let me hug you.
Nowhere is the rampant gangsterism more apparent than in the public commentary offered by pundits and politicians. Everything that conservatives once stood for - fiscal responsibility, preventing drug and alcohol abuse, enforcing the law, sexual propriety, supporting the military, preserving our institutions, decency in speech and deportment - has been enthusiastically dismissed and derided by self-seeking figures in the media and politics."
Principles are blowing in the wind; profits are in the litterbox.
Oh, to be obtuse when spring is in the air...
