As for the new administration in 2008, the choice we’re going to be faced with, I suspect, is whether we are going to get raped up the bunghole with a 5 foot pole, or a 5 inch pole. The only difference is that getting raped up the bunghole with a 5 inch pole is generally survivable, while the 5 foot pole… not so much. But either way, we’ll still be raped. The media conglomerates have made sure of this by marginalizing any candidate not intending on raping us as “crazy” or “not serious” or just disappearing them altogether (e.g. Edwards after Iowa, where he came in second but… his name was never mentioned in the post-Iowa reports of the outcome).
