No barrique, No Berlusconi

Robertson, Kaczynski, Berlusconi. It's quite the trifecta.

Or maybe a superfecta, if you add an additional week and include the late James Watt's demise (May 27th) with those of the above-mentioned trio of morality-deficient malefactors. If a Secretary of State or Justice has some political leanings, it's understandable, but the freakin' Secretary of the Interior? They're supposed to be apolitical tree-hugging, put-the-public's-interest-above-corporate-raping-and-pillaging kinds of leaders, with a longterm goal of protecting the public from itself. Watt fought to bring White Claw to a public that would have been better off with Ridge, and barrel-aged Fireball when we deserved Laberdolive.

Referring Watt, Heather Cox Richardson found a couple of his quotes that mark Watt as a prescient forefather of the modern neo-fascist movement: “I never use the words Democrats and Republicans,” he often said, “It’s liberals and Americans.” He called environmentalists “a left wing cult which seeks to bring down the type of government I believe in.” “Compromise,” he added, “is not in my vocabulary.” Buh-bye!

-Eden (I can picture Watt tandem-canoeing along the River Styx with Lee Atwater, waiting for the arrival of Newt Gingrich so they can foment a putsch against Satan, because ol' Beezlebub had the temerity to acknowledge the existence of Mohammed and Buddha)

If you’re referring to the fact that there’s no Bartolo Mascarello either, I suppose that there’s a bit of irony there.
