The Sweet Taste of Disgusting Scandal
It’s not! It’s just not. It’s tawdry. It’s salacious. It’s going to hurt a lot of families, but it’s a distraction, and I should fucking know because the word “distraction” is in the title of my website.
Didn’t we all get just fucking tired of the Monica Lewinsky scandal? Sure, it was ultimately unimportant and in reality just a tool for the Republicans to finish their inquisition against Bill Clinton (because when you can’t beat ‘em on the issues…) and even Americans got tired of it as every pundit, comedian, and dickhead with a microphone put in their two cents and found that they overpaid.
And here we are again and if liberals are ever to claim a higher ground, we have to really be above this shit. We can’t bitch and moan when the nation gets distracted from important matters because it’s “our” guy that’s getting crucified by the other team. There’s no real justice to be found in this story all I can do is send this open letter to the biggest and best liberal blog I know, CrooksAndLiars.com, and hope that they’ll share and ask others to share in my plea that we don’t take our eye off the ball, the ball that says War in Iraq because while the “Gonzales-clusterfuck” and “Election ‘08″ balls are also important, lives hang in the balance with the War in Iraq and we have to resist the temptation to take the cheap shot now that the shoe is on the other foot. Bloggers choose which stories to carry and sometimes which stories to kill. You know which ones need attention and which one has to go.
