I soon realized that Mr.
Oliver was deeply deluded and/or vastly enriched by the eight years in
which G.W. stole two elections, started two entirely unnecessary wars
(making puppetmaster Cheney millions in no-bid contracts), bankrupting
the country with tax cuts for millionaires, stopping much-needed stem
cell research, tortured suspects in violation of the Geneva Convention,
ordered the rendition of Americans, gave a whole hour of flight to the
victims of Katrina and performed various and sundry violations of law,
good sense and his oath of office.
I
guess this counts as “Mission Accomplished” for some microcosm of the
electorate that Mr. Oliver obviously reveres while most of the world
hates us.
