United States of Apathy

I always think that the Bush administration couldn't possibly get away with anything else. I always think... this time, they are busted. I always think, 'oh this will totally get him impeached.' And then today I read this article.

My thought now is what WON'T they get away with? Seriously, they ignore a subpoena for documents, pardon Libby from serving time in prison, start a war that doesn't even have an active plan for any foreseeable ending, and yet Paris Hilton goes to jail for 30 days over driving intoxicated. I don't agree with drunk driving by any means, but it seems the damage she caused is miniscule in comparison. I find it funny that the court has to prove that famous people have to be held accountable in the case of Paris Hilton or Martha Stewart, but Libby gets out of his sentence and we write it off as another dirty move in the Bush administration.

Jesus fucking christ people, what else do they have to do to get your attention?
