Just think about it: An American city flooded: Thousands stranded, hundreds drowned. What's the campiest thing to do in that situation? Go buy shoes!!!
An unprovoked war against a tiny, ineffectual, country: Hundreds of thousands killed, thousands wounded. Billions of dollars unaccounted for, a botched and bloody occupation. What's the campiest thing to do? Hand out some tacky jewelry to those most responsible.
A horrific terrorist attack on an inconic complex in the heart of the nation's largest city, as well as its capitol. Thousands dead, a nation traumatized and ready to unite in a way that it hasn't been since Pearl Harbor. What's the campiest thing to do? Suggest that we all go shopping!!!
I could go on and on, but it really needs a website of its own. The reason I bring it up now is because this became clear to me just this morning when I saw this - it's a picture of the retirement ceremony for the guy who is taking the fall for the mess at Walter Reed Hospital (you know, where we were warehousing wounded soldiers in a place with holes in the ceiling and mold on the walls, thanks to Bush Administration Privitization)
I mean, just look at that: Chorus boys! Costumes! Draperies! It's like a drag pageant! Put a gown on the guy in the uniform, and a tux on the guy in the suit, and it would be a dead ringer for the Court of San Francisco's coronation!
And people say that the Bush Family has no sense of humor.
