| Liberal Losers Conduct a Fool's Hearing |
| 06.20.05 (7:03 am) [edit] |

Losers live in their parents’ basement and dream that they are just one hit song away from stardom. Losers neglect their retirement savings and fantasize about the way they will live after they magically win the lottery. Losers weigh 431 pounds and wish -- through a month full of Twinkies and Diet Coke -- that someone someday will invent a miracle diet pill so that they can be pretty. And this week, losers met in the basement of the Capitol building and sat behind little mismatched folding tables interviewing each other in an “unofficial investigative hearing” that they believe might allow them to retake power one day -- without them ever having to re-examine who they are, what they stand for, or why most Americans have decided that they and their fellow liberals are a just bunch of losers undeserving of further support. Yes, one of the hallmarks of leaches, losers, bums, stoners, halfwits, and leftists is that they tend to live in a beautiful delusion in which nothing is really wrong with them, they just need a break -- a magic event that will solve all their problems at once and effortlessly elevate them to their proper status in life. One day they’ll get that record contract, or win that Power-ball, or find that willpower-free path to weight loss -- or even find that “smoking gun” memo that will, in one fell swoop, prove that George W. Bush really is worse than Hitler, Stalin, or Pol-Pot, and magically, instantly make everybody love and vote for them again. It’s easier than self-examination and hard work. So it was this week as a group of stellar Congressional Democrats, led by Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, held “hearings” with each other to discuss the so-called “DOWNING STREET MEMO”. The DOWNING STREET MEMO (always to be pronounced after a pregnant pause and in a voice a half octave lower than normal speech) is a set of notes from a meeting of British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his advisors during the lead up to the War in Iraq in July of 2002. And Democrats believe this could be (again) the big break they’ve been waiting for, the magic bullet that will wrap-up the plot of the movie in which they star in their heads just in time for the commercial break and the 2006 mid-term elections. So what is in the dreaded DOWNING STREET MEMO that Democrats think is so horrible that it makes even them look good by comparison? Essentially, it all boils down to two sentences in the whole document. When discussing the British administration’s impression of the attitude of the United States administration (which is a curious sort of “smoking gun” regardless of what the memo says, isn’t it?), the memo states: “Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.” Obviously, “fixed around” means “firmly organized around” in this passage, which is especially apparent when one reads the whole memo. But the anti-war zealots and hopeful Democrats think it could mean “blatantly manufactured so as to defraud” -- as in the “the fix is in” or “he fixed the fight.” The proper wording to express that idea, of course, would be more like “Thus the intelligence and facts were being fixed, so as to falsely justify the policy” -- which is exactly the sort of thing people involved in a conspiracy would never write down in a memo, anyway. But those who need to believe that there was a conspiracy think that they can sell the more improbable meaning of “fixed around” to the voters -- if they just had a forum in which to explain it loudly and frequently enough. “Fixed around” -- that’s it. That one phrase is all the whole DOWNING STREET MEMO fuss is about. Spot on.
