GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT

If you've been following the comments to my posts about dear Mr. Galloway you will have noticed that the consensus ( of two, but I imagine lots of other folks feel this way as well ) is he may well have done some less than above board stuff, but his fervent assault on this issue was right on the money. I agree with this wholeheartedly, it's just a shame that his words come to light under the circumstances that they have. But then again, maybe not. Until the inquiry, I had never heard of him. And probably much of america hadn't. So maybe this scrutiny was the backfire we needed to hear what he had to say.
I believe he opened a door ( with his foot ) for mainstream media in this country, not identifying the problem ( because we all know what the problem is, and anybody who will deny it should be locked up or killed...did I really say that? I meant sent immediately to a re education camp or forcefully sterilized ) but giving us permission to talk about the maggots in the fruit bowl.
And people have been talking. You see and hear it in little ways. Today, I caught a bit of a show on court TV where they were arguing about this filibuster thing, and the GOP groupie was spewing the usual party line about them and the host of the show show told her to stop lying. This wasn't the dem guest refuting the bullshit, this was the host.
Now I know the truth is out there and has been for a long time, but this is mainstream media calling bullshit on the powers that be.
It's like waking up from a bad dream, little bits of reality filter in until you realize it was a bad dream.
I hope we continue to gain momentum.
But lets get back to Galloway for a minute, or rather the notion that he can be guilty of improprieties, but this time he told the truth, so in this instance he is vindicated.
There's an old adage that even a broken clock is right twice a day. And I can think of no other that describes todays politicians ( regardless of party ) more aptly. There are no clean politicians, there have never been clean politicians, ever. They are all players, and always have been. Just like us regular folk, they have skeletons in the closet too, only the skeletons they carry around have the potential to do more damage than that time you told your wife you quit smoking and your evening walks with the dog included a pass by that rock where you hid a pack of marlboros and a lighter.
That being said, there's a difference between a nick from shaving and a dagger to the heart. Bushco has been and is a dagger to the heart of this country. A dagger that everyone ignores...sure, we can feel it digging in, but until now it has never been acknowledged in such a plain in your face way. It appears that maybe...maybe Bushco is losing it's lock on the mainstream media.
And it's about fucking time. I'm all about flawed heros...I loved Eastwood in Unforgiven.
I'm waiting still, just a bit more hopeful.
