Excuse me, Shrub? You're calling the 90s an "economic binge?" I thought you were a Republican, and favored economic growth and the increase in individual wealth. Now you're saying it was nothing more than a wild party that we have to suffer for.
You (or that ghastly Karl Rowe) are choosing to play politics with the stock market collapse. A Republican. A Texas bidnessman Republican. This is astonishing. Somewhere, Calvin Coolidge is crying in his scotch and soda. Good God, Shrub, you're bashing people doing well in the stock market? Just to keep fresh in everybody's mind how miserable your predessor was and how Clinton was such a baneful immoral devil that even the healthy economy that supposedly he could take no responsibility for has now been rejiggered as nothing more than a bachelor party in a seedy strip joint, and now all of us who aren't big campaign contributors have to take our medicine. Er, where's Skilling's medicine, Shrub? Where's Fastow's? Where's Bernie's?
Oh, I see. They weren't the ones who elected Clinton. That noxious, scheming, murderous, licentious scoundrel. That thieving rapist, that leering trianguist, that husband of Lilith. We, the American people, did, and now we must be punished by losing our investment savings. All that wealth creation, since it occurred simultaneously with the Presidency of the most foul President since ... well, ever, must be taken away from us.
This is beyond farce, beyond tragedy, beyond outrage. This is surreal: a Republican president is ostensibly trying to assuage the capital markets by saying, it's all right, all that wealth that has evaporated was a chimera, and immoral at that. Your 401k which is now a 101k, your portfolios, the grand experiment of the democratization of investing in the 1990s, is akin to one of the drunken binges I went on while forgetting to inform the SEC about my Harken transactions. Those trillions of dollars y'all have lost in the market? The equivalent of Bill Clinton's fondness for interns and their panties, a sordid overindulgence.
Keep your mouth shut, Shrub. Every time you open it, Americans lose more money. Someday, all these defenders of Shrub who take seriously the idea of the accumulation of individual wealth will stop making excuses for him.
It's a shame the Republicans have turned out like this, because the Democrats ... well, it's back to the class warfare, myriad and omnipresent legislation to clog up the works we've spent over twenty years trying to fix.
And Jesse's in the hospital, his political career evidently over. Boy, we need him, or someone like him, now.
