Fuck You, You Fucking Prickholes

While he may not be quite as contemptible as Joe Lieberman, McClellan's really a first-rate son of a bitch.

Moments after yukking it up with the Press Corps during the December 2nd conference, McClellan professed to be "saddened by the loss of life":

MR. McCLELLAN: Speaking of can't remember, I can't remember the last time Mark Knoller came to a briefing. (Laughter.)

Q Well, I'm leaving now. (Laughter.)

MR. McCLELLAN: It's a good point. Can I?

Q He monitors everything very carefully.

MR. McCLELLAN: He does. And he probably knows the last time he came, too. (Laughter.)

Kelly.

Q Can I ask, when the President came to the Rose Garden this morning, about 10:45 a.m., at that hour did the White House already know about this attack on the Marines in Fallujah?

MR. McCLELLAN: Yes, we did. The President was informed about the loss of the Marines last night, and those that were injured, and then he was briefed again this morning. We are saddened by the loss of life, whether it's one soldier who loses his or her life, or 10 or 11. We are saddened to hear that news.

Sure you are, asshole. So fucking "saddened" that you're making jokes only a few hours after learning the news. That hypocrisy is bad enough, but what really makes my fucking blood boil is what inevitably follows:

Our heart and prayers go out to the families. Their loved ones paid the ultimate sacrifice for an important cause, and we are forever grateful for their service and sacrifice. [...]

Our thoughts and prayers will remain with their families. And we will be forever grateful for their sacrifice. [...]

And it's important to always remember the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform. And we will be forever grateful, and we will always honor their sacrifice in our -- and we will always provide comfort and support to their families. [...]

And, certainly, when you have a loss like you did with these Marines yesterday, that's a tough day. But what they're sacrificing for is peace for our children and grandchildren for years to come.

So "grateful" for their sacrifice that you happily slash veterans' benefits. So "grateful" for their sacrifice that you seem not to notice the country's 200,000 homeless veterans. So "grateful" that you happily expose them to your toxic weaponry, then when they begin to exhibit symptoms, tell them that it's in their heads.

Worst of all, so fucking "grateful" that you hold them against their will, forcing them to slaughter and torture innocent human beings by the tens of thousand; while getting their asses shot at or blown up every single day.

If given the choice to stay in Iraq, or to leave the military, how many would choose to stay? We'd quickly determine just how important, how generation-defining the mission is, wouldn't we? Just as surely as we'd quickly find out how important the American citizenry would consider the "ongoing 'War On Terrorism'" if the fucking President went on teevee tonight and asked all Americans -- no matter how old, how wealthy, or how white -- to put their fat fucking asses on the line; on the principle that if everybody is benefitting, then everybody should share equally in the sacrifice.

And don't give me any -- but any -- fucking bullshit about those currently enslaved in Iraq (or sitting in prison for refusing to "sacrifice") having volunteered to get their asses lit up.

First off, the Nuremburg Principles explicitly prohibit citizens from engaging in crimes -- even when directed to do so by the State. It's only the cowardly American judicial system that prevents mass disobedience by the American soldiery in Iraq.

Secondly, if, having signed on, a soldier finds that the job isn't what he was expecting (either because he was lied to concerning the nature of the job, or because he finds out that killing's just not for him, or for any other reason), then he should be free to at any time resign. Otherwise, he is a slave.

And until the likes of Bush, McClellan, O'Reilly, Cheney, and all the rest are willing to put their fat fucking asses on the line, to sacrifice for "peace" for their "children and grandchildren", then they can fuck off straight to hell. And they can fuck off twice for every time they cynically invoke the sacrifice of others to score political points.

I only wish there were stronger words that "fuck you" to convey one's feeling that these pieces of fuck are the lowest and the vilest humanity has to offer.

But since there aren't: Fuck you, George Bush. Fuck you, Scott McClellan. Fuck you, Bill O'Reilly. Fuck you, Dick Cheney. Fuck you, Joseph Lieberman. Fuck you, Donald H. Rumsfeld.

Fuck all of you miserable fucking pieces of shit. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you.

Anything else? Uh, yeah. When they're not busy cracking jokes through their fake fucking tears, they're watching football games:

Q One more. A major conflict tomorrow, the Army-Navy game. Is the President going? And, if so, which side is he going to be sitting on first?

MR. McCLELLAN: As a fan of college football, I'm sure the President will be tuning in to this great rivalry. The President has attended the game in the past, and I know he looks forward to seeing it tomorrow. I'm sure it will be a great game for all of us to watch. And there's some other good games on, as well, tomorrow.

Go ahead. For us Longhorns.

That's football games, plural. Fucking hours after being informed of the bomb that exploded and killed ten young kids that he put in "harm's way", the President "looks forward to seeing" a fucking football game. FUCK YOU.

Even if it were something remotely resembling a just cause, do you think the President and his Press Secretary could maybe find something better to do with their days than horse around with the Press Corps and watch football games?
