Monsters to the Right
There seem to be no limits to what I can say here other than those defined by those hoary old 18th century documents related to the country's establishment. Fascinating. Almost like free speech.
Aside from the fact that those same documents seem to be non grata with the present administration. I am going to ignore that. They will likely die eventually no matter how many elections they steal. I'm going on basis that we still have free speech.
To get down to business, has there ever been a circumstance that devalued the Executive Branch of the Federal Government more than having the VP and P choose to be interviewed by such as Rush Limbaugh, as reportedly was to happen this week?
That is the debate topic for tonight.
This is at least an order of magnitude more dreadful in terms of sullying these offices than any previous media encounters or even petty sexual episodes I am aware of. I could not come up with anything vaguely comparable in history. Hell, I'm struggling to come up with comic analogue.
Nixon and Presley meeting did come to mind, but really there's no comparison. Rasputin is more like what we need - for both the 'viewer and the 'viewee. But now that I think of it, it is a huge disservice to R to even link him to Rush. A true slime-ball is needed, and I'm concerned that RL may have more or less ass-ipied the entire low ground for this role. Is there any entity with even vaguely close loathsome qualities? We're not likely to get that - must be more out-of-the-box.
So, you readers, zero in count, please weigh in with suggestions! Has any pres or vp ever more sullied their office in terms of publicly communing with wastrels (and that is of course being far too kind to subject addict)?
