Lassie Come Home – to Gitmo!

In my last post – here – we discussed Family Values™ and exactly what kind of Family Values™ we had going on in Sarah Palin’s family. After thinking about it, I decided to start this post with a disclaimer that I probably should have included in the last.

Click the more button for more… it gets interesting.

I’m sure that Sarah Palin is a loving and devoted mother, doing the best she can to raise her kids in this crazy world. My reference to the youthful indiscretions of her daughter were not meant to be an assault on her values – it was merely to show that Sarah, like the rest of us, is imperfect… and that it would be hypocritical to run around asking for votes so you can stop the rampant teenage pregnancy and drug abuse. I’ll not even touch on the fact that Republicans have never set out a working agenda on Family Values™, nor have they done one damn thing to promote Family Values™ during their 8 year Reign of Righteousness™. I guess poverty does bring a family closer… so maybe they have done a good job.

Now that’s not the sort of disclaimer you will see often. I extend it only because Sarah seems to be a basically honest person, and I have been impressed with (some of) her post-election interviews. There will be no such disclaimer for Limbaugh. I have every right to imply that his supply of Viagra on a trip to a third world haven for child-sex slavery might have been more than coincidence.

And there will be no such disclaimer forthcoming for today’s Family Values Faker™ - Mike Huckabee. I will say though, that I liked Mike.

I really liked Mike Huckabee – soft-spoken, polite, and a good listener, who seemed to be interested in what I had to say. Isn’t that what they say about those serial killers after they dig 40 bodies out of the backyard? I believe it is… and I believe that’s exactly what came out of my mouth when I first heard the shocking story of his son.

David Huckabee was fired from his job as a camp counselor when he hung a stray dog over a tree limb with a rope ’bout the neck, until dead. Mob mentality? It was just him and another kid. Peer pressure? Hmmm… he was the governor’s son… uhh, I don’t think so. Does this mean that David is someone who thrills at the suffering death of another living creature?

I will only say this – look into these eyes and let your intuition be your guide.

I know – right?

Thank God Mike didn’t win. Can you imagine seeing this animal-torturing son of a former President steal an election in 2020? It would be déjà Vue with irony… sort of like every time you fuck your wife. Haha!

But seriously… look at the last animal torturing son of an ex-President that stole an election (or two.) And even that animal-torturing son of an ex-President isn’t as bad as you might expect for an animal torturer (that we know of…) – and the “that we know of” is meant to imply that the son of a President, or the son of the Vice President, or the son of the CIA Director (and Dumbya hits the Trifecta on that one) can’t do anything that can’t be covered up.

So David could have been the second animal torturing son of an ex-President to steal an election (that we know of…). Whewww… we dodged a bullet.
