How Do Absurd People Think?

Continuing on with the last post about the theater of the absurd, when I learn about incredibly stupid things, such as the three things mentioned in that post, I wonder just exactly what were these people thinking when they made their boneheaded decisions???

Didn't our political animal of a county sheriff Lee Baca have a clue that his decision to give special treatment to Paris Hilton would cause outrage in the community? Was Baca really that baka or was there some hidden motive behind what he did? Perhaps because one of his major campaign contributors from the last election happened to be Granpappy Hilton?

As for what Roy Pearson was thinking when he filed his idiotic lawsuit, who knows and who cares. The guy is a jerk and doesn't deserve to remain in this country so we'll leave it at that.

Now for the finale, I really do wonder what went through George W's mind when he decided to commute Scooter Libby's sentence. Yes, he is often ridiculed by idiot liberals as being stupid and there are countless jokes made at his expense about his supposed stupidity (many of which are really funny, I must admit) but the man did not get to be president by being stupid. As wimpy and ineffectual as Jimmy Carter may have seemed, he was not stupid, either. We really do not have stupid people becoming president and that's why you don't see John Kerry in the White House but that's a blog for another day.

The target here today is Bush.. what was he thinking??? He had to have known, and his political crony advisers must have reinforced it, that commuting the sentence of someone like Scooter was going to cause an uproar. And it did. Today my communist boss told me that the reason for this was a choice of the lesser of two evils: something about had the sentence not been commuted, Scooter would have blabbed all (as my Marxist buddy put it, "told the truth about what happened") and gotten Bush impeached or thrown into jail or both. I guess the same would have happened to Dick Chaney, in which case I doubt that either Chaney or Bush would receive a pardon from the next-in-line to the presidency, Nancy Pelosi (scary thought, isn't it?). He also mentioned something about had he actually pardoned Libby instead of commuting the sentence, then the truth would have also come out.. something about how commuting the sentence would somehow keep a rag stuffed in his mouth whereas the other options would have resulted in him spilling the beans and us having another Watergate on our hands.

Well now as much as I have defended our president in the past and I disagree with the political nonsense espoused by my boss, I do have to say that this is food for thought. Because there has to be a good reason why Bush did what he did, knowing full well what the public's reaction would be. So something is fishy.. and the whole thing stinks. Like I said yesterday, I'm just totally disgusted by it all.
