After curbing itself on the White House lawn and listening to echoes of Presidential vetoes past, into the Senate chamber waddled the Boxer Beast, looking for the Daschle Dog's bowl to find a little food for thought; she wouldn't need much to satisfy her small size and stature. What she found was a Clinton/DNC/Whitehouse spinmeister talking points fax memo, the original written with an obsolete Indian Red crayola, mixed in with the Cal-Kan ( a new dog food marketed by California's governor, Comrade Mauve Divest. At first glance, the Beast couldn't believe it's eyes, as the word PROMISE was prominently featured through out the document; and we all know how that word ( concept ) strikes fear in some democRAT's hearts and causes others to want to make like Pinnochio ( or Bill Clinton, for that matter ).
It thought for a moment ( no easy task for this DC inhabitant/Clinton lapdog ), ' do I really want to go on C-Span and repeat this baloney in front of the video cameras'? While it was immersed in thought ( not much volume needed for this one ), in slunked the Daschle Dog ( foaming at the mouth as usual but hungry for some good old non-partisan name calling ).
' Arf, arf, arf; woof, woof, woof ', it exclaimed ( translation follows ):
' Our great living God Pharoah President, Bill Clinton, has handed down our holy instructions for today's jihad against the forces of right ( the vast right wing conspiracy, conservatives in general, or just the nearest Republican politician who you can attempt to demean, demonize or just plain villify, with a pack of well told lies ). We are going to concoct this really phoney story about Republican promises to the people ( of the United States ), how they have broken them, how this makes them really evil, and how they are not to be trusted. Here they are; there are three '.
' 1) They promised ( remember to use the word PROMISE as many time as possible when on the Senate floor or appearing as a talking head on every political cable television talk show in the KNOWN UNIVERSE ) not to touch the Social Security Trust Fund surplus '.
' 2) They PROMISED not to bust the budget caps passed agreed to in the so-called 1997 Balanced Budget Agreement '.
' 3) They PROMISED to meet the October first budget deadline '.
So, out on the floor the Boxer Beast slithered, amazingly without the customary newspaper lining, to do her master's bidding and repeat the above talking points with as much pseudo-feeling as her disingenuous voice could squeak ( or was it squeal? ). It went on and on about how the Republicans had promised these things and they did not deliver, or were about not to deliver on them, conveniently forgetting that it was their very own almighty liar-in-chief, the first philanderer, who has put the Congress in the position they are, by vetoing the measure containing the elements the democRATs are making a ficitious big deal about!
The march of democRATs was a continuous stream as they repeated their PROMISES mantra with reckless similarity. The Daschle Dog was barking up a storm ( presumably he already had his way with George Washington's cherry tree ) until the Continuing Resolution, which would fund the government until the dozen or so spending bills are passed to Hillary's liking, came up from the House of Representitives. Obviously, this gave them another chance to bitch and moan about not getting a say as to what was in the legislation ( that was curiously being hammered out by their very leadership and the Republicans while they actively lied that it wasn't )? What they really are bummed out about, is still being in the minority and facing the distinct possibility of a Congress and White House controlled by the other party at the turn of the millennium; an eventuality that they would lie, cheat and steal to prevent from happening!
The Republicans refused to let them get their goats, though the democRAT offices smelled that way. Republican Senator Slade Gordon did openly question their voracity on the Senate floor as to statements they made about not being let in on the process which created the bill that Clinton had the audacity to veto. The continuing resolution was passed overwhelmingly, and the Republicans left the chamber ( and the animals to their rooting ).
In memory of Henry Reid ( Elizabeth Reed? ), one spineless jelly fish charaded that the Republicans have created " emergencies that aren't really emergencies ". You know, this was the only invertebrate which made any sense; though it's tendrils then spelled out that the Republicans " spent a long time tredding water and going nowhere "? Luckily for them, spineless invertebrates inherently have no back bone, so there was no surprise happening!
Anyone who has half a brain knows that the Republican majority passed bill met all their responsibilities to the GOP and the United States of America, but was vetoed for spite, or just for another campaign issue, by the current inhabitant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Sadly, the DNC has proven itself to be completely devoid of all integrity! It all sort of reminded me of " October The First Is Too Late ", by Fred Hoyle?
