The American media have treated the Bush Administration with a phenominal lack of interest. It’s gotten to the point where it seems they could reveal literally anything, no matter how outrageous, and the media would respond with a collective, “That’s nice. So, did you hear that Obama asked for toast without butter? Omigod!!”
And then some punk songs started flitting through my head. And I realized: this is exactly what the last several years of political discourse in this country have been like.
Cheney:
I’ve got something to say
I killed your baby today
Media:
And it doesn’t matter much to me
As long as it’s dead
Cheney:
I’ve got something to say
I raped your mother today
Media:
And it doesn’t matter much to me
As long as she spread
America:
Sweet lovely death
I am waiting for your breath
come sweet death
One last caress
Bush:
Well I’ve fucked a sheep
And I’ve fucked a goat
I’ve had my cock right down its throatMedia: So what, so what
Well who cares, who cares what you do
Explains everything, really.
*Goes without saying that these are my views. The bands don’t necessarily concur. Or give a fuck.
