Mike Malloy unloads on today's House fiasco

There was a Republican pro-war rally in the US House today. Listen:

Hi-ya! Hi-ya! Hi-ya! Step right up ladeeeez and gents! For just a few coins, the price of a good tuna sandwich, step right up! (Can ya’ move outta the way, sir, and let the payin’ customers through?) Step right up and form an orderly line to the right! There’s room inside for everyone! How ‘bout you, ma’m? It’s the show that never ends! Hi-ya! Hi-ya! Hi-ya! See the blind see! See the lame walk! See the strange lady who sleeps with snakes! See the man who eats his own flesh! The headless boy and the girl with one eye! Hi-ya! Hi-ya! Hi-ya! Whaddaya say, sir? Ya’ coming in or are ya’ stayin’ out? Step right up! Step right up! The show never stops! No intermissions! Popcorn and cotton candy comin’ down the aisles! Freaks, freaks and more freaks! See the dead dance! See the living scream! C’mon in, folks! Hi-ya! Hi-ya! Hi-ya!

Another freak show, another round of insanity, another three-ring circus of twirling vampires and shuffling ghouls swept through the House today. Passions flowed like blood-soaked oil and the Republican pro-death, pro-war rhetoric reached a crescendo. When news that the number of US soldiers killed in Iraq had reached 2,500 in the Bush Crime Family’s monstrous attack on a helpless, third-world nation began bouncing around the cable news channels, the Republican slime machine screamed into action.

Those who oppose more killing are traitors, thundered the porcine Dennis Hastert! "We must stand firm in our commitment to fight terrorism and the evil it inflicts throughout the world,” he bellowed. “We must renew our resolve that the actions of evil-doers will not dictate American policy," he screeched, ignoring the irony that the major evil-doers on earth right now reside within his own political party and control all three branches of the failed US Government. "Is it al-Qaida or is it America? Let the voters take note of this debate," frothed Republican Rep. Charles Norwood of Georgia, attacking war critics as defeatists who do not deserve re-election, or Jesus’ grace, or life itself.

Crawling out of his molding, rotting casket to defend the new number of US dead, White House press secretary Tony Snow hissed, "It's a number." Roaches and silverfish and spiders scurried away as Snow stumbled to the press room podium, his eyes nothing but empty sockets. The un-dead at the Pentagon had prepared a “battle plan” for use by the Republicans, distributing a highly unusual 74-page "debate prep book" filled with ready-made answers for criticism of the war. Left out were references to hundreds of dead children, blown to pieces, ripped to bloody shreds by US bombs and grenades; parents plunged into unfathomable, suicidal grief when told their children were gone.

Most were so distraught they couldn’t comprehend the US offer of $1,500 per death as compensation. (“Sorry about that, Hajji. You know, your kid getting’ killed and all. War is hell, Hajji. We’re just doin’ what we’re told by Mr. Bush and Mr. Rumsfeld. No hard feelings, okay? Nothin’ personal. Just collateral damage. Here, accept this check on behalf of the US taxpayer. It’s the least we can do. We broke it, we’ll pay for it.”) "In this fight for the future of peace, freedom and democracy in the Middle East and around the globe, winning should be our only option," moaned Rep. Phil Gingrey, Republican from Georgia, as he held aloft a warm, still-beating heart torn from the breast of an Iraqi mother.

Republicans have arranged their bloodthirsty debate to end in a vote either later Thursday or Friday on legislation - a resolution - that labels the Iraq war part of the larger global fight against terrorism and says an "arbitrary date for the withdrawal or redeployment" of troops is not in the “national interest.” The death will go on. The slaughter will continue.

Hi-ya! Hi-ya! Hi-ya! Step right up ladeeeez and gents! Get yer tickets right here! It’s the show that never ends! Ya’ comin’ in, sir, or are ya’ just gonna stand there gawkin? Hi-ya! Hi-ya! Hi-ya!
