I’m very happy that Liz (not the lesbian) Cheney has dropped out of the Wyoming Senate race. I don’t buy the “serious family health issue” excuse for a second. She was getting her butt whupped and realized she had no chance of winning, so she’s out. She didn’t need the job. She’s got money. Seriously, I think people who have loads of money should just stay the fuck out of politics. You’ll be happier, we’ll be happier. I realize that we’re not talking about a great number of jobs, but why not give them to people who would benefit from them. Give some homeless guy a Senate seat and at least it would change his life, and he certainly wouldn’t do any worse than any of the horrible individuals who currently inhabit that august body.
Our future is brighter because she will not be a part of it
Cheney’s departure would be an encouraging sign -a marker of the bottom that we had thought we had hit so many hundreds of times over the past couple of decades, but each time we think we’ve reached bottom some teabagger says something like “rape babies are a gift from God” or “evolution and global warming are lies from the pit of hell” and we shake our heads and realize that our seemingly endless tumble down the rabbit hole is not over yet – except for one little thing: the voters of Wyoming are not rejecting her because she’s a crazed right wing lunatic, spawn of a war criminal, an evil 1 percenter who would gladly starve the elderly and close all the public schools.
They are rejecting her because they already have an insanely conservative right wing Senator they are perfectly happy with.
So, the slide continues. I’m still glad, though, that the phrase “Senator Cheney” will not be heard any time in the near future.
