One Less Asshole In The World

SO THE SON OF A BITCH FINALLY IS DEAD. Slobodan Milosevic’s (left) death from natural causes yesterday probably will offer no solace to any of his victims (right). That almost the last five years of his life have been in prison might slightly assuage his surviving victims’ sense of having justice denied, or at least I hope so. I know I wouldn’t want to spend five seconds in prison, let alone five years. However one feels about the legitimacy of the 1999 NATO bombing campaign against Serbia, there is no doubt that this man was responsible for a great deal of suffering and death, up to and including genocide. He will be missed by few.
As you might have guessed, I’m now going to bring up King George and Prince Tony. Are they clones of Milosevic? No. To me the Iraq War and its causes aren’t sufficiently analogous to the 1999 Serbian War and its causes to draw any neat and tidy conclusions about related character traits in any of these men. However, that is not to say that Bush and Blair aren’t war criminals. They’re just a different kind of war criminal when compared to Milosevic. Some of the charges against them are the same and some are different, but I suspect they’ll all be spending eternity south of heaven. Maybe when their time comes Bush and Blair will be able to convince God that their cause was noble. Unlike Milosevic’s case, I doubt God will appoint a special defense team for them. They better have their talking points down pat on that day.
Yes indeed, one less asshole in the world. You are right about “King George†and “Prince Tony.†War criminals—indeed, but not in the same league as Milosevic. Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.), is asking that Bush be censured but I think that the man should have been ousted out of office long before this—of course there is little political support for such a move, although folks were more than willing to do that to Clinton who’s biggest crime was organisming with the wrong woman. Hypocrites, the lot of them.
Sex outside of holy matrimony is a far more serious offense than crimes against humanity, harpowoman. “Crimes against humanity” is never mentioned by name in the Bible, so Dubya & Scum must think they’ve found a loophole. Shitheads.
One down and only about a million or two to go. That old saying is still true “more horsesasses than there are horses”. If you think about it, five years in the can is some retribution, he could have died free and of old age like Stalin or maybe just have a bad wedding night in the bunker like Adolf. At least he had to hear what the world really thought about him. No hero’s funeral. My guess is Dub and Deadeye ain’t that lonely without him or sweating the loss. Our writer’s right these two are in a class by themselves. Harpowoman’s also on course, they won’t be being impeached any time soon, although it would be fun to say “YOUR FIRED!!!” I know I’d feel rich as Trump. I’m sure Dub could get a job clearing land, I guess Deadeye would just have to retire, bad heart and all, he could take up fishing, he’s got enough money.
doesn’t he look like bill murray from the groundhog day movie and ghostbusters fame? separated at birth maybe?
