Wanting Politicians to Die

Now, it's no secret to anyone who reads Dailykos, Sojo, Democratic Underground, or any of the other liberal nutjob websites that there is a certain contingent of American society that wouldn't mind at all if certain Republicans (particularly those who are currently President) died.

It's also no secret that a substantial portion of the population met the death of Paul Wellstone with what could generously be described as a shrug. And, yes, some were glad he died (I was in the shrug category).

And, I have to admit, I read Justice Ginsburg's statement that she looks at Justice Stevens (who is 86) and thinks she can make it, and thought "gee, I certainly hope not."

See, I'm a conservative, and Justice Ginsburg is, what, some sort of deformed meerkat? I mean, she looks like a lesbian zombie. It's as though there's an inverse-beauty pageant in some parallel universe. Winner gets to practice law for the ACLU. Did she earn her law degree at a Star Trek convention?

Sorry, tangent... But I am not mature enough to post that picture without making a comment. You thought it, too.

Anyway, I've been thinking about this issue ever since one of my (trust-fund baby) colelge friends brought up the idea of assasinating President Bush. One of my other (more political) friends mentioned that this was not the ideal approach (insert comment about Sherlock, and the inherent absence of feces therein).

See, I don't generally think it's good for politicians to die in office, regardless of their party. It creates instability, for the reason that an elected official cannot serve his elected term. This has never been good for other countries, and has generated some meandering, mediocre presidencies.

Plus, it's just plain wrong to wish death on people.

So don't do it, whether you post on democraticsociopath.com or not. I won't subscribe to your damn newsletter.

However, purely from an aesthetic, Queer Eye For The Supreme Court perspective, Ginsburg's gotta go. She is the dark brown la-z-boy with dog-piss stains to Michael Luttig's art deco lounger.

I'm sorry, I'm being shallow... She's also a terrible judge and a horrific human being.
