rock over London. rock on, Chicago.

was it always like this? did people actually start running for office 22 months before the election?

either way, if a presidential campaign is a play, in acts, then right now the orchestra is just tuning up. but it’s not that cacophony of noise, of a couple dozen violins playing scales. it’s more like when you’re at the zoo, and you can hear screams coming from the ape house. dogs snarling. animals roaring. it’s like the background noise of a Salvador Dali painting. (also: Franco supported Salvador Dali)
but, the first act is beginning. the candidates are beginning their shit talk. the backstabbing and double-crossing starts. the groveling, the switching of positions, the commandeering of pop ballads.

I was reading today, in the New York Times, about this. today, the guy behind Geffen Records is talking shit about the Clintons. see, he used to be a Clinton supporter, but not anymore. now he’s got Obamarama. according to the Wikipedia page in his honor, he has become “disillusioned with Hillary Clinton’s political viewpoints.” this is right above the link to Wikipedia’s List of Billionaires.

It began with a column in The New York Times by Maureen Dowd, in which Mr. Geffen said the Clintons lie “with such ease, it’s troubling” and that the Clinton political operation “is going to be very unpleasant and unattractive and effective.” Mr. Geffen called Mr. Clinton a “reckless guy” who had not changed in the last six years, and suggested that Mrs. Clinton was too scripted.

predictably, the Clinton campaign shit a brick.

“While Senator Obama was denouncing slash-and-burn politics yesterday, his campaign’s finance chair was viciously and personally attacking Senator Clinton and her husband,” Howard Wolfson, the Clinton campaign communications director, said in a statement.

and over in the AFC, John McCain has taken to distancing himself from the current administration. he chose the world’s easiest (albeit deserving) target, Donald Rumsfeld, and proceeded to aim at his balls for points.

”I think that Donald Rumsfeld will go down in history as one of the worst secretaries of defense in history,” McCain said to applause.

he also talked some junk about Cheney, but don’t worry about that shit. they’re cool.

I hate politicians. I can feel the bile rising in my throat when I think that one of these cocksuckers is going to be the next president. and to think; these are the ones I can feasibly stomach. barely. I mean, seriously, Mitt Romney is running. Mitt fucking Romney!
