Gone-zo

What will George W. Bush do without his Fredo?  Frankly, I’m not sure it really makes much difference at this point in 43’s counting-the-days regency.  Parenthetically, I always wondered whether Dubya knew that his consigliere‘s namesake in the Godfather series was weak, stupid, duplicitous, and sexually confused.

Whether the departure of Gonzales—following those of Rummy, Card, Rove, Bartlett, and other one-time Bush insiders—has any real meaning for the nation and the world, it’s still a great excuse (as if an excuse is needed) to add your voice and some small portion of your wallet to the BurnBush effort.

As I write this, Goldy’s campaign in support of Darcy Burner is rapidly closing in on the $70,000 mark.  That’s incredible, but it’s still a good bit short of his ambitious $100,000 goal.  (Darcy’s overall ActBlue total has leapt almost to $90,000!) The Gonzales announcement may divert attention from the BurnBush effort, even here in the Puget Sound area where Dubya will offer his backside for Eastside Republicans and Sheriff Hairspray to kiss this afternoon. 

But let’s show them what we can do!  Let’s show them that diversionary tactics—and this announcement is just another in an endless series of diversions while the Bad Guys work their nefarious magic behind the scenes—won’t dissuade us from even the most ambitious of targets!

Once again:

• Register for, and participate in, Darcy’s Virtual Town Hall, starting at 3pm Pacific this afternoon.
• Sign Darcy’s petition on the Iraq War and the Bush malAdministration’s maladministration.
• Make a contribution—no matter how small—to the BurnBush campaign.  Maybe you will be the one who puts BurnBush over the top, into the six-figure range!
