Oh, the hypocrisy

Well, things in Egypt seem to have gotten even worse as yesterday wore on. And right now, it's just about dawn of a new day there.

Mubarek made a big announcement after midnight, Egypt time, saying he would fire his whole government and appoint a new one.

That really cracked me up. "Appoint" a new one. I think he put his finger right on the problem. Or actually, his failure to see the irony in that is the problem.

Meanwhile, the Comrade made a statement, advising that the Egyptian military and other security don't fire real bullets at anyone. He reminded everyone that there's a "universal" right to peacefully protest, to free speech and all. He urged Mubarek to turn the Internet and Twitter and all that back on. He urged Mubarek to listen to his people.

Not a bad statement, but coming from the Comrade, the hypocrisy is monumental. I mean about a million Americans in Washington a while back, unhappy about socialized medicine, and the Comrade does a fly-over and leaves town. And then shoves that piece-shit-legislation through congress by totally destroying any kind of ethical procedure.

Hey, Comrade, you listen. And get your slimy, and power-hungry over-reaching claws off the Internet here, off the radio, off TV. OK??? You listening, or too busy rehearsing your next campaign speech? You  don't really want another term, do you? Wasn't this one bad enough? Surely you can't be comfortable with people coming to you for answers you just don't have. Why not get on a plane and fly away. I mean far away. And stay there.

And frankly, if push comes to shove over here, I'm not convinced the police or the military would stand behind the Comrade. I really wouldn't count on it if I was him.

Just a few things to think about. I really despise hypocrisy, lying, corruption, lying, hypocrisy. LYING.

Save the Republic.
